**About Turing** ================ Turing's mission is to accelerate superintelligence to drive real economic progress. Headquartered in San Francisco, Turing works with frontier AI labs to generate high\-quality datasets, reinforcement learning environments, and frontier research benchmarks that improve model capabilities in software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and advanced STEM reasoning. In software engineering, Turing is the largest and longest\-running data provider in the category. Turing also works with Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, life sciences, healthcare, retail, automotive, and CPG to build and deploy end\-to\-end agentic AI systems inside mission\-critical workflows. By operating on both sides, Turing closes the loop between frontier research and enterprise deployment, turning real\-world deployment signals into better data, evaluations, and more capable models.

Brazil is \~4/5 hours ahead of PT and Colombia \~2/3 hours ahead; comfortable overlap with a Pacific\-based team is required. **Role Overview** ----------------- We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager who is, first and foremost, a hands\-on technical leader. You will lead a small team building custom AI and data solutions for enterprise clients, and you will stay deep in the work: operating on data, organizing the technical stack, setting up infrastructure, and personally delivering when a project is on the line. This role blends real engineering skill with people and project leadership. If a project has to ship and you are the person available to ship it, you are able to do so end to end. We operate like a rapid\-iteration startup: schedules are urgent, expectations are high, and the people who thrive here are excited by that pace. **What We're Looking For** -------------------------- The three qualities that matter most for this role: * **Ownership and drive.** You take on more than your role strictly requires. You are prolific, high\-energy, and responsive when the business needs you. You treat delivery deadlines as your own and prioritize the urgent, important work on your schedule. * **Technical competence.** You are genuinely hands\-on. You can code yourself, operate the data, organize the technical stack, and set up infrastructure. You guide the team on architecture, design, and implementation, and you can step in and build when it counts. * **People and organizational leadership.** You run tight, well\-organized engineering execution: clear technical specs, well\-scoped tasks, and consistent on\-time (or ahead\-of\-time) delivery. You have led teams through urgent, high\-stakes schedules and delivered. **Key Responsibilities** ------------------------ **Hands\-on delivery and technical leadership** * Own end\-to\-end project delivery, stepping in personally to build, operate data, configure the stack, or set up infrastructure whenever needed. * Guide the team on architecture, design, and implementation of scalable, maintainable solutions. * Run precise engineering planning: define technical specs, scope tasks clearly, and drive execution to consistent on\-time delivery. **Team and workstream management** * Lead and organize a team building custom AI/data solutions for enterprise clients. * Allocate work across the team based on skills and performance, and prioritize to meet business goals. * Coordinate with cross\-functional partners to keep projects aligned. **Throughput, quality, and iteration** * Monitor progress and optimize development processes for speed and efficiency in a fast, iterative environment. * Perform spot reviews on tasks, give actionable feedback, and catch risks early. * Ensure work meets quality standards before it ships. **Talent and performance** * Identify high and low performers through reviews and metrics; mentor, develop, and manage talent accordingly. * Build up team members and support their growth toward more advanced work. **Qualifications** ------------------ * **Proven track record of leading teams**, especially in startup or fast\-moving, project\-based environments, delivering complex technical work under tight deadlines. This is the primary filter. * **Hands\-on technical strength** — expert\-level, current engineering ability (e.g., Python and JavaScript ecosystems), with the ability to personally deliver. * **Data fluency** — proficiency with data analysis and data quality practices (statistical analysis, data manipulation, and tools such as Pandas, NumPy, and SQL), and the ability to lead data validation, cleansing, and enrichment. * 7\+ years in software engineering, with at least 2 years leading a team (typically 5\-6\+ people). * Bachelor's or Master's in Comp
