Data Science Scientist - Remote

About Turing:  Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems. Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies.

We’re looking for a  Data Scientist who has excellent hands on Python skills and Machine Learning experience  — someone who lives and breathes code, optimizes for performance, and has proven mastery on  competitive programming or data challenge platforms  like  Leet Code, Code forces, Hacker Rank, or Kaggle  . In this role you will be working with Turing team members and AI researchers at Frontier Labs to devise techniques and build data sets to improve performance of models.

Build, test, and optimize  high-performance Python systems  used in large-scale AI and data pipelines.
Design and maintain  modular, clean, and production-ready  Python codebases.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (data, infra, and research engineers) to deliver reliable backend components.
Write efficient, maintainable, and testable code with strong focus on  algorithms and data structures  .
Stay current with modern Python tools, frameworks, ML advancements and best practices.

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
~4+ years of professional experience  writing Python in production environments.
~ Expert-level proficiency in  Python and core libraries  (Pandas, Num Py, Async

IO, Pytorch, Transformers, or similar).
~ Proven track record on coding platforms  — e.g.,

Experience with system design, clean architecture, and performance optimization.
~ Working level Proficiency in either Machine Learning or Data Science for Machine Learning.

Recognized performance in  Kaggle  ,  Code forces  , or  ICPC/Top Coder  contests.
Deep curiosity for performance tuning, scalability, and elegant code design.

Perks of Freelancing with Turing:
Work fully remotely, from anywhere.
Type:  Contractor (no medical/paid leave).
Technical Interview (60 mins):  discussion of Python problem-solving, architecture, and system design.
