About this role

About Turing:
Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.

Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM, and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies.

Role Overview:

In this role, you will work on cutting-edge initiatives to fine-tune large language models by grounding advanced nutrition, dietetics, and culinary operations domain logic. The ideal candidate possesses deep experience in food-and-nutrition mechanics, spanning macronutrient calculation, recipe scaling, ingredient costing, grocery budget rollups, and strict dietary restriction handling, along with the ability to translate culinary rules into deterministic spreadsheet logic. You will play a direct role in evaluating and refining AI-generated tools, ensuring outputs match professional nutrition and menu-planning standards.

Requirements:

• Core Experience: 5+ years in nutrition, dietetics, culinary or menu planning, or food-service operations.
• Domain Expertise: Deep, hands-on familiarity with calorie and macro targets, recipe scaling (per-serving vs. per-batch), unit-level ingredient costing, and dietary/allergen restriction logic.
• Writing & Logic Translation: Strong, concise professional writing skills with a proven ability to translate nutrition guidelines and recipe math into deterministic spreadsheet formulas and validation structures.
• Analytical Thinking: Ability to establish strict operational guardrails (e.g., verifying macros sum to calorie targets at 4/4/9 kcal per gram, maintaining food-cost percentage targets, managing allergen exclusions).
• Technical Infrastructure: Personal desktop/laptop equipped with a stable, high-speed internet connection in a remote setup.

Responsibilities:

In this role, you will serve as the nutrition and culinary operations expert setting the quality benchmark for food-focused AI applications. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Authoring Skills & Guardrails: Defining discovery parameters (calorie/macro goals, household size, dietary restrictions, budget) and nutritional guardrails for AI builders and canvases.
• Context & Workflow Co-Design: Co-designing interview workflows and validating context files, including recipe cards, pantry inventories, and grocery receipts.
• Grounding Golden Assets: Verifying macro and costing formulas, recipe unit scaling, grocery list rollups, and validation dropdowns across flagship recipes like meal planners and kitchen dashboards.
• Quality Sign-Off: Reviewing and signing off on AI-generated outputs to ensure complete alignment with professional dietetic, culinary, and menu-engineering practices.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience in any field.
• Experience in AI evaluation, data annotation, content review, quality assurance, or a related analytical role is preferred but not required.

Offer Details:

• Commitments Required: 40 hours per week with 8 hours of overlap with PST.
• Engagement type: Contractor
• Engagement Length:  upto 10 weeks
• Availability: Talent must have weekend on-call availability (part-time engagement is acceptable).
