Overview
Turing is a research accelerator for frontier AI labs and enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. This role involves building evidence-based benchmark tasks that expose weaknesses in state-of-the-art AI models through investigative research, red-teaming, and rigorous failure diagnosis.
What You’ll Do
- Discover obscure facts and niche research targets that resist simple search queries
- Rigorously verify facts against primary sources and document source URLs
- Author clear, unambiguous benchmark tasks designed to expose model weaknesses
- Execute tasks against SOTA models to confirm they trigger intended failures
- Trace model logs and search trajectories to diagnose exact failure mechanisms
- Apply validated patterns across new domains and review peer-authored tasks
Requirements
- 1+ years in investigative research, fact-checking, AI benchmark authoring, red-teaming, or technical QA
- Proven experience with benchmarks like GAIA, BrowseComp, SimpleQA, SWE-bench, or Humanity's Last Exam
- Intermediate-to-advanced OSINT and web search skills
- Strong analytical capability to inspect model reasoning chains and diagnose failures
- Precision writing ability for clear benchmark prompts and bulletproof answer keys
- Bachelor degree or higher from relevant engineering domain
Who Should Apply
Apply if you combine deep investigative research skills with genuine curiosity about how AI models fail — you'll thrive finding obscure facts, building airtight prompts, and debugging model reasoning at scale. This frustrates people who prefer well-defined tasks, expect high job security, or lack comfort navigating ambiguous data sources; the work is deliberately adversarial and the role is a short-term contract (4 weeks max).
Salary Insight
No salary figure is stated in this posting. This is common for Turing contractor roles and often varies by location and experience level. Research Turing's typical contractor rates on Glassdoor or ask directly during initial screening; bring a day rate or weekly rate in mind based on your experience level with benchmarking and OSINT work. For a specialized role combining research + technical QA, expect to anchor above standard QA rates but below senior researcher rates.

Application Tip
Lead with a specific benchmark task you've authored or reviewed — describe the obscure fact, how you verified it, and what model failure it surfaced. Hiring managers here care far more about evidence of OSINT capability and failure diagnosis than credentials; a link to published investigative work or a brief case study of a model you red-teamed will outweigh a generic resume. If you lack formal benchmark experience, emphasize your strongest investigative win: a fact few people could have uncovered, or a source-verification challenge you solved rigorously.
