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

Remember that cereal you had this morning? The yogurt in your fridge? That protein bar in your backpack? There's a strong chance we touched its formula.

We're Turing Labs - the company very few knows but most tastes every day. Backed by Y Combinator, Insight Partners, and Eric Ries, we're the silent force behind 50,000+ CPG products getting healthier without you even noticing. We're talking Kraft Heinz scale. Fortune 500 scale. "Your-mom-definitely-bought-this" scale.

Now we're building something bigger: The Manhattan Project for food innovation.


Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):

As our Community Architect, you'll be a movement builder, a narrative crafter, a professional mind-changer. Your targets? The busiest, most skeptical, most accomplished scientists on Earth. Your weapon? Pure intellectual seduction.

Be at the forefront of building a movement! As a Community Engagement Intern, you will help create, cultivate, and energize a peer-driven network of specific technical experts to disrupt industry. The kind of conversations that reshape what 8 billion people eat.

You'll Work Directly With:

  • Founder and executive team
  • Executives from companies whose logos are on your groceries

We're Looking For:

  • Someone who can make a tenured professor feel FOMO
  • A natural debater who turns skeptics into evangelists
  • Equal comfort discussing CRISPR and sourdough starters
  • The kind of person who never takes no for an answer - think “I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM_”_
  • Previous experience making important people do things they didn't plan to do (debate team captain? Started a movement on campus? Convinced your university to divest from fossil fuels? Perfect.)

Why This Isn't Your Average Internship:

  • Your work impacts what millions eat tomorrow
  • You're not fetching coffee; you're building the Illuminati of food innovation
  • Real budget, real autonomy, real impact
  • When you tell people what you did this summer, they literally won't believe you

If interested, please send

  1. A 60-second video or 200-word written pitch: "How I'd convince dean of your college to join a food science community"
  2. One food product you wish existed but doesn't (bonus points for scientific feasibility)

This description clarifies the focus on ongoing engagement and mission-driven community culture over one-off events, in line with how Handshake successfully built its expert network.
