Remote Web Researcher

About Turing:

Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.

Turing helps customers in two ways: 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.

About the Role:

We are building an evaluation benchmark for frontier AI browsing agents. Your job is to design research problems that a state-of-the-art AI cannot solve, even with full web access and multiple attempts. This is not a subject matter expert role, nor is it a content-writing role. It is investigative research.

You will start from a verifiable fact, work backwards to construct a question that makes that fact extremely hard to locate, and then prove your work with a complete, auditable evidence trail.

What You Will Produce:

• A natural-language research question with a short, stable, objectively verifiable answer.
• Clues, each independently checkable, spanning multiple fact types - including dates, people, places, organisations, works, events, records, and quantities - with specific constraints.
• A validation record showing the obvious searches you ran and the results they returned.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Demonstrated open-web research ability, including locating primary records and navigating government and institutional databases, archives, registries, and PDF documents.
• Precision with sourcing. You cite exact pages, tables, and sections—not just homepages.
• Comfort researching unfamiliar subjects from scratch.
• Native or near-native written English.
• High tolerance for structured documentation. The evidence trail is the majority of the work.
• Experience with LLM evaluation, red-teaming, or benchmark construction.
• Experience in one or more of the following domains:
• Reference librarianship, archival research, or special collections.
• Investigative journalism or professional fact-checking.
• OSINT, due diligence, KYC, or investigative research.
• Patent, prior-art, or legal-discovery search.
• Genealogy and records research.
• Competitive quizzing or puzzle-hunt construction.

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with JSON and structured data delivery formats.

Offer Details:

• Employment type : Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave).
• Duration of contract : 8 weeks.

Application Process:
