About the Role
Consumer packaged goods like sauce, cookie, and lotion are used by every single human on the planet. However, developing those is insanely hard, manual, and complex. Turing solves this by purpose-built AI (not GPT wrapper) to discover the most optimal formulation, replacing decades of trial-and-error. We’re a pure-play vertical AI SaaS challenging legacy incumbents in a trillion-dollar industry. Your code will run inside the R&D pipelines of some of the largest CPG companies on the planet - billion-dollar brands whose products are on shelves in every country.
FACT: 50,000 food and beverage products you consume are harmful. We’re here to fix that by enabling CPGs to develop better, healthier, and better options using our AI platform. Your code will directly impact what 8 billion people eat and use every single day. Next release of GPT won’t kill us!
Why This Is Hard (and Interesting)
You are building a product experience that translates ambiguous, highly complex, subjective matter expertise, and physical chemistry needs into solutions for users who never had better tools than spreadsheets.
This requires going far beyond traditional statistical methods and basic LLM calls. You will own the end-to-end development of AI-powered features across the backend, frontend, and deployment layers. You will build on our proprietary ML algorithms, LLMs, internal embeddings, and structured data models into product experiences that users actually trust.
This is a zero-to-one build. You will ideate, plan, and deliver software that consistently exceeds customer expectations. You will collaborate tightly with our ML team to ensure outputs are not just mathematically accurate, but practically trustworthy in a lab.
Responsibilities
- Integrate LLMs and ML into products (e.g., LangChain, vector DBs, prompt design, model outputs into product).
- Ship real products-ideally in vertical SaaS, internal tools, ML/analytics platforms, or enterprise software.
- Think in product-understanding UX, user value, and workflows.
- Work in-person with a small team to move fast and win together.
Requirements
- 5+ years of full-stack or backend-heavy engineering experience.
- LLM and/or ML integration experience (e.g., LangChain, vector DBs, prompt design, model outputs into product).
- Experience shipping real products-ideally in vertical SaaS, internal tools, ML/analytics platforms, or enterprise software.
- Ability to code and think in product-UX, value, users.
- Founder experience or took extreme ownership in a startup environment.
- Desire to work in-person with a small team.
We Offer
- Competitive salary range of $130K - $210K.
- Opportunity to work in a high-agency culture.
- Direct customer interaction with no translation layers.
- Fast decision-making process.
- Results-oriented environment focusing on customer impact.
