Turing is tailored for a “remote first world”, a new job platform where top tier companies hire the world’s top 1% software developers at the touch of a button. Great engineers get to work for the best companies in the world, not only those located nearby. Turing has built an AI-based platform to help evaluate prospective, but far-flung engineers, bring them together into remote teams, and then manage the professional collaboration. Turing offers customers on-demand, pre-vetted Silicon Valley calibre remote talent with post-match quality controls and management.  

For more than 200,000 engineers across 10,000 cities, we are the preferred platform for finding remote U.S. software engineering roles. We offer a wide range of full-time remote opportunities for full-stack, backend, frontend, DevOps, mobile, and AI/ML engineers. 100+ companies have hired Turing engineers. 

Turing recently closed a Series B round with top-tier investors. Pair that with an experienced management team and you can see that Turing is poised to expand its lead on the competition. Turing is led by successful repeat founders Jonathan Siddharth and Vijay Krishnan, whose previous company leveraged elite remote talent and had a successful acquisition.
