About Turing Labs Inc.

Build a better sustainable world!

“Turing Labs is building the Palantir for the CPG industry” - Forbes

Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies all over the world – including names you already have in your fridge, toiletries bag, make-up case, and pantry – rely on Turing’s AI technology to create new products faster, safer, smarter, and leaner. With our industry-leading platform, we leverage data and combine industry-specific AI technology to create new products 10x faster than the existing physical trial-and-error process.

Turing Labs is a Series A funded company backed by Insight Partners, Y-combinator, Moment Ventures, and several industry leaders.

The Turing team has decades worth of experience and passion for creating the next generation of products. Today, we employ some of the world’s best machine learning algorithms – and the people who create them – to help drive product innovation that impacts billions of people’s lives.

You can learn more about our journey and where we are going on TechCrunch, VentureBeat, The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, and Forbes.

Join one of the fastest-growing SaaS on the path of becoming the default platform for product development.

About the role

We’re a Bay Area startup building the future of AI-powered B2B SaaS—software that works the way people think. If you're an engineer who lives to code, thrives on direct collaboration, and wants to push the boundaries of LLMs in real-world workflows, this is your seat at the table.

We work in person at our Bay Area office because we believe that the best ideas happen when brilliant people are in the same room. If you're energized by whiteboard jams, hallway product debates, and building shoulder-to-shoulder with a tight-knit team—you’ll love it here.

What You'll Do

  • Build and own mission-critical systems: from backend APIs to frontend UX and everything in between.
  • Prototype and deploy AI features that solve real problems for operators, analysts, and decision-makers.
  • Push LLMs beyond chat—contextual memory, tool use, reasoning chains, planning, and action.
  • Meet with users to deeply understand their pain points and shape the roadmap.
  • Craft intuitive interfaces that simplify complex workflows and make AI feel invisible.
  • Collaborate live with the founder & CTO; understand the vision and technical strategic direction and then own the solution.

You Might Be a Fit If You

  • Are a strong coder who moves fast and writes clean, scalable code (Python, TypeScript, etc.).
  • Have hands-on experience with LLMs (OpenAI, open-source models, prompt engineering, LangChain, RAG, fine-tuning, etc.).
  • Prefer onsite collaboration—you get energy from being around your team and working in person.
  • Are a self-starter who doesn’t wait to be told what to do—you chase down the biggest problems and own them.
  • Think like a product designer—you have great UX instincts and care about the entire user experience.
  • Bonus: You've built and shipped AI-driven features in a real SaaS product or know how to make complex internal workflows smarter with software.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • High impact: Your work won’t be a feature—it’ll be the product.
  • Tight feedback loops: With users, with your team, with leadership.
  • True ownership: From code to customer to company direction.
  • In-person magic: Brainstorm, build, and iterate at startup speed—together.
  • Real equity: Get in early and help build something game-changing.
