Senior Staff Engineer

At Turing, we are building the trust, intelligence, and workflow infrastructure that powers how top global talent gets discovered, evaluated, and hired. We are looking for a highly capable engineering leader to help architect and build a new generation of AI‑first vetting systems that improve talent integrity, capability assessment, and hiring experience at scale.\n\nThis role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, applied AI, product thinking, and execution. The right person will not just ship isolated features, but build durable systems that can support multiple products and use cases over time.\n\nWhat you will own\n\n- Build and scale core components of Turing’s vetting platform, with initial focus on:\n\n- AI Interviewer\n\n- Task-based vetting platform\n\n- Fraud and integrity checks\n\n- Design platform‑level systems rather than siloed point solutions, with strong emphasis on extensibility, reuse, and long‑term maintainability\n\n- Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Operations to translate ambiguous business problems into scalable technical systems\n\n- Lead architecture and implementation for high‑scale, high‑reliability user‑facing and internal workflows\n\n- Improve system quality across UX, performance, observability, and developer velocity\n\n- Help establish technical direction, engineering standards, and execution rigor for a fast‑moving, AI‑forward org\n\n- Mentor engineers and raise the bar on engineering craftsmanship, systems thinking, and speed of execution\n\nWhat we are looking for\n\n- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with strong depth in backend/platform systems\n\n- Experience building and scaling complex product or platform systems used in production\n\n- Strong systems design skills, with the ability to think in platforms, primitives, and reusable abstractions rather than one‑off features\n\n- Proven ability to operate in ambiguous environments and convert evolving requirements into clean technical approaches\n\n- Strong product instinct and user empathy; able to balance architecture quality with business speed\n\n- Experience working on workflow systems, evaluation platforms, marketplaces, trust & safety, identity/fraud, or AI‑powered products is a strong plus\n\n- Familiarity with modern AI/LLM‑powered systems and the ability to apply them pragmatically in production workflows\n\n- Track record of driving high‑impact initiatives end‑to‑end across cross‑functional stakeholders\n\n- Strong communication skills and a high‑ownership mindset\n\nWhat great looks like\n\n- Can independently take a messy problem space and turn it into a clear system design and execution plan\n\n- Builds for scale, but without overengineering\n\n- Thinks beyond the immediate ask and identifies the right underlying platform opportunities\n\n- Moves fast, has sound judgment, and can make pragmatic tradeoffs\n\n- Raises the quality bar for both technical design and product execution\n\n- Comfortable working across architecture, implementation, and org‑level influence\n\nWhy this role matters\n\nTuring is entering a phase where trust, verification, and AI‑led vetting are becoming central to the user experience and business model.
