Turing’s mission is to accelerate superintelligence to drive real economic progress. Headquartered in San Francisco, Turing works with frontier AI labs to generate high-quality datasets, reinforcement learning environments, and frontier research benchmarks that improve model capabilities in software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and advanced STEM reasoning. In software engineering, Turing is the largest and longest-running data provider in the category. Turing also works with Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, life sciences, healthcare, retail, automotive, and CPG to build and deploy end-to-end agentic AI systems inside mission-critical workflows. By operating on both sides, Turing closes the loop between frontier research and enterprise deployment, turning real-world deployment signals into better data, evaluations, and more capable models.

Turing is looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter to join our embedded Research Engineering Recruitment Pod. In this role, you will work side-by-side with our Research Scientists, Research Engineers, and AI leadership to source, engage, and close the talent building at the frontier of AI.
This is not a high-volume, transactional recruiting role. The talent pool for elite Research Engineers and Forward-Deployed Engineers is highly concentrated, hyper-competitive, and continuously targeted by frontier labs. You will act as an embedded strategic partner, mapping passive talent ecosystems across academia, quantitative research, and open-source networks, developing technically informed candidate pipelines, and orchestrating bespoke closing strategies for candidates who do not move through standard corporate hiring funnels.
This is a high-urgency recruiting role. You will compete head-to-head with frontier AI labs and hyperscalers for candidates who are often managing multiple highly competitive offers. Winning in this market requires deep technical literacy, exceptional speed, and continuous market intelligence.
This isn’t for everyone. But if you want to work on an elite team to hire the most sought-after talent in frontier AI and help build the teams defining what comes next in the field, this role may be for you!
Technical Recruiting Track Record: 4+ years of full-lifecycle technical recruiting experience, with proven depth in AI/ML, Research Engineering, Distributed Systems, or Forward-Deployed Engineering.
Domain Literacy: Ability to speak credibly with top researchers and technical leaders.
Proven Closer: Demonstrated track record of personally sourcing and closing highly sought-after candidates against competing offers from frontier labs or hyperscalers.
Compensation & Equity Fluency: Strong understanding of private-company equity, technical compensation, and competitive market benchmarking.
High Ownership & Startup Speed: Ability to operate with high urgency in a fast-moving AI research environment.
