About Turing

Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems. Turing helps leading AI labs improve the reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities of large language models (LLMs) through high-quality human feedback, evaluation, and training data.

Role Overview

We are seeking Board Game Reasoning Experts to help train and evaluate next-generation AI models. In this role, you will leverage your expertise in board games, game mechanics, strategic reasoning, probability, and complex rule systems to create, review, and evaluate high-quality datasets that improve AI performance.

You will work on challenging tasks involving game logic, decision-making, strategic planning, rule interpretation, and scenario analysis, helping frontier AI systems develop stronger reasoning capabilities.

What Does Day-to-Day Look Like?

• Create and review game-based reasoning tasks designed to evaluate AI systems.
• Analyze board game scenarios, strategic decision trees, and rule-based systems.
• Evaluate AI-generated responses for correctness, consistency, and reasoning quality.
• Develop prompts, rubrics, and evaluation guidelines for board game and strategy-focused tasks.
• Identify logical errors, rule violations, and flawed reasoning in AI outputs.
• Contribute to benchmark creation and quality assurance processes for AI evaluation projects.
• Collaborate with project teams to improve dataset quality and evaluation methodologies.

Requirements

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Cognitive Science, Game Design, Philosophy, Economics, or a related analytical field.
