Senior Software Engineer - Former founder preferred
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 most optimal formulation, replacing decades of trial-and-error. We’re pure-play vertical AI SaaS challenging legacy incumbents in 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 an product experience that translates ambiguous, highly complex, subjective matter expertise, and physical chemistry needs into solution 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.
Who We Are
