Design and solve complex math problems to evaluate language model performance.

About Turing:
Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L.

Role Overview:
In this role, you will be working on projects to help fine-tune large language models (like ChatGPT) using your strong analytical and english comprehension skills The ideal candidate should have a solid foundation in mathematics, particularly at the level expected in engineering entrance exams, as well as graduate or PhD-level programs. You should be able to break down complex mathematical concepts into simple, clear explanations and work efficiently. The projects will also help you learn how to leverage AI to be a better analyst. This is your chance to future-proof your career in an AI-first world!

Key Responsibilities 

• Design and solve challenging math problems to probe the limitations of large language models.
• Develop high-quality, step-by-step solutions with clear and rigorous reasoning. 
• Collaborate with LLM researchers to align problem types with evaluation goals, particularly in areas where models commonly struggle (e.g., abstraction, multi-step reasoning, symbolic manipulation).
• Contribute to defining new evaluation benchmarks based on Mathematics curricula spanning early undergraduate to PhD-level topics.
  

Requirements
