Forward Deployed AI Engineer (In Training)

About Turing 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.

Role: Forward-Deployed AI Engineer — In Training Location: New York City Experience Level: 5+ years as a full-stack developer Compensation: $170,000–$210,000 base salary + equity Work Model: In-office, typically three to five days per week, depending on client requirements Why Join Enterprise AI? Enterprise AI is a distinct business unit within Turing, operating with the speed, focus, and ownership of a rapidly scaling startup. When it comes to applied AI in the workplace, you’ll define the frontier by building beyond it. You’ll join the initial team of Forward-Deployed Engineers, shaping how we work while solving enterprise-grade problems for the world’s leading enterprises. As a Forward-Deployed AI Engineer, you’ll own outcomes end to end—from identifying high-value customer problems and shaping architecture to building production systems and working directly with senior client leaders. You’ll build generative AI solutions in the real world that drive measurable business impact and return on investment within large institutions. Your first placement will be in Turing Akademia , where you’ll build the applied AI, production engineering, and client-delivery skills required for the role. Candidates who successfully complete this placement will be immediately placed on live Turing Enterprise AI client projects as full-time Forward-Deployed AI Engineers with Turing. Turing Akademia is an eight-week intensive development experience for high-performing software engineers and full-stack developers who are close to being ready for forward-deployed work. Through hands-on technical training, production-oriented projects, and direct feedback, you’ll strengthen the skills required to build reliable AI systems and deliver solutions in complex client environments. Enterprise AI is intense, intellectually challenging work. It won’t be for everyone, but it may be exactly the challenge you’re looking for. As a Forward-Deployed Engineer, You Will Find the Problem Worth Solving Work directly with customers to navigate ambiguity, uncover high-value opportunities, and use curiosity and business acumen to understand their workflows and jointly define the business outcomes an AI solution should drive. Build Beyond the Frontier Architect and build production AI systems—from multi-agent workflows, orchestration, tool use, context engineering, memory and state, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to the APIs, data pipelines, integrations, and distributed systems that make them reliable at scale. Complete your first placement in Turing Akademia, building and demonstrating these capabilities through intensive, hands-on work. Own the Outcome You won’t simply be given a list of responsibilities—you’ll have the authority to own the outcome for your client and make a real-world impact through your work. Present your work to stakeholders, manage expectations, explain technical decisions, and respond constructively to pushback. Lead solutions from discovery through deployment and
