About Turing:

Turing enables U.S. companies to hire the world’s best remote software engineers. 100+ companies including those backed by Sequoia, Andreessen, Google Ventures, Benchmark, Founders Fund, Kleiner, Lightspeed, and Bessemer have hired Turing engineers. For more than 180,000 engineers across 140 countries, we are the preferred platform for finding remote U.S. software engineering roles. We offer a wide range of full-time remote opportunities for full-stack, backend, frontend, DevOps, mobile, and AI/ML engineers.

We are growing fast (our revenue 15x’d in the past 12 months and is accelerating), and we have raised $14M in seed funding (https://tcrn.ch/3lNKbM9">one of the largest in Silicon Valley) from:

• Facebook’s 1st CTO and Quora’s Co-Founder (Adam D’Angelo)
• Executives from Google, Facebook, Square, Amazon, and Twitter
• Foundation Capital (investors in Uber, Netflix, Chegg, Lending Club, etc.)
• Cyan Banister
• Founder of Upwork (Beerud Sheth)

We also raised a much larger round of funding in October 2020 that we will be publicly announcing over the coming month.

Turing is led by successful repeat founders Jonathan Siddharth and Vijay Krishnan, whose last A.I. company leveraged elite remote talent and had a successful acquisition. (https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/23/revcontent-acquires-rover/">Techcrunch story). Turing’s leadership team is composed of ex-Engineering and Sales leadership from Facebook, Google, Uber, and Capgemini.

About the role:

Software developers from all over the world have taken 200,000+ tests and interviews on Turing. Turing has also recommended thousands of developers to its customers and got customer feedback in terms of customer interview pass/fail data and data from the success of the collaboration with a U.S customer. This generates a massive proprietary dataset with a rich feature set comprising resume and test/interview features and labels in the form of actual customer feedback. Continuing rapid growth in our business creates an ever-increasing data advantage for us. 

We are looking for a Machine Learning Scientist who can help solve a whole range of exciting and valuable machine learning problems at Turing. Turing collects a lot of valuable heterogeneous signals about software developers including their resume, GitHub profile and associated code and a lot of fine-grained signals from Turing’s own screening tests and interviews (that span various areas including Computer Science fundamentals, project ownership and collaboration, communication skills, proactivity and tech stack skills), their history of successful collaboration with different companies on Turing, etc. 

A machine learning scientist at Turing will help create deep developer profiles that are a good representation of a developer’s strengths and weaknesses as it relates to their probability of getting successfully matched to one of Turing’s partner companies and having a fruitful long-term collaboration. The ML scientist will build models that are able to rank developers for different jobs based on their probability of success at the job. 

     
 You will also help make Turing’s tests more efficient by assessing their ability to predict the probability of a successful match of a developer with at least one company. The prior probability of a registered developer getting matched with a customer is about 1%. We want our tests to adaptively reduce perplexity as steeply as possible and move this probability estimate rapidly toward either 0% or 100%; maximize expected information-gain per unit time in other words. 

As an ML Scientist on the team, you will have a unique opportunity to make an impact by advancing ML models and systems, as well as uncovering new opportunities to apply machine learning concepts to Turing product(s).

This role will directly report to Turing’s founder and CTO, https://www.linkedin.com/in/vijay0/">Vijay Krishnan. This is his https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=uCRc7DgAAAAJ&;hl=en">Google Scholar profile.
