About Turing 

Turing is one of the world's leading AGI infrastructure companies, working with frontier AI labs to accelerate model development through high-quality training data, evaluations, and engineering talent.

About the Role: 

Build the technical implementation of a system that captures GitHub Copilot CLI agent traces across developer machines, scrubs sensitive content centrally in Azure, and serves a sanitized, queryable dataset for review. You’ll own the pipeline end-to-end, from the endpoint capture script to the Azure ingestion, scrub, and viewer.

You are a fit - If you can take a written design and ship the working pipeline mostly on your own, and you treat privacy as a hard requirement, not an afterthought.

What does day-to-day look like:

• Stand up the OpenTelemetry capture path: endpoint env-var/.bashrc setup, OTLP export, and a collector pipeline (receivers → processors → exporters).

• Build the central ingestion + privacy scrub block in Azure (secret + PII detection/redaction) before any data reaches a reviewer.

• Wire up the sanitized stores and a read-only trace viewer, with task↔session↔trace correlation.

Required Skills:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 

• 5+ years in software / platform / data engineering, shipping production systems. 

• 3+ years hands-on with Azure (or a comparable major cloud with clear transfer to Azure PaaS), including 2+ years building observability or telemetry pipelines with direct OpenTelemetry experience, OTLP, collectors, spans/traces, semantic conventions. 

• Azure PaaS: Container Apps/AKS, API Management, ADX/Kusto or App Insights, ADLS Gen2/Blob, Key Vault, Entra ID. 

• Solid Python or Node.js, plus Bash scripting. 

• Practical data privacy / PII & secret scrubbing experience (regex, entropy, redaction/tokenization). 

• Data-pipeline and cloud-security fundamentals (RBAC, private networking, audit).

Nice to Have:

• Grafana / telemetry-backend setup; LLM-agent or GenAI observability exposure; cross-cloud identity federation (AAD ⇄ GCP IAM).

Perks of Freelancing With Turing:

• Work in a fully remote environment.

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.

Engagement Details:

• Compensation: $100/hour

• Commitments Required: At least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with overlap of 4 hours with PST. 

• Employment type  : Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave)
