Strategic Project Lead, Software Engineering

Background in consulting, finance, startups, or other operationally intense environments, with a proven track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects.

Strong analytical and communication abilities: you can spot a bottleneck in a noisy production environment, build a measurement plan, and communicate the fix to a demanding client in plain language.

Customer-facing experience: comfortable working directly with high-profile clients, managing expectations, and building long-term relationships.

Excited by gritty process optimization and large-scale execution — you thrive on making complex operations faster, cleaner, and more reliable.

30 days: First project delivered end-to-end with no quality escapes reaching the customer. Reporting cadence established and trusted by the lab. Contributor onboarding playbook v1 published. You know the names of every researcher on your accounts.

60 days: 300+ active contributors across concurrent workstreams, all executing to standard. At least one customer has proactively expanded scope based on delivery quality. Quality framework codified and in daily use by your team.

180 days: $5M+ in active project revenue under your management. A second SPL is ramping off your playbook. You spend more time multiplying through others than operating as a solo contributor.

Work directly with the world’s leading AI labs at the cutting edge of post-training, evaluation, and agentic AI research.

Real impact on the path to AGI: the data you deliver will directly influence how frontier models are trained and evaluated.

High ownership and influence. You will shape how Turing delivers at scale, with direct visibility to senior leadership.

Direct-to-research customers. You will spend your time partnering with the people building the future of AI, not coordinating with procurement.
