Senior AI Solutions Engineer - Enterprise Knowledge Work

About the role

You will be the first technical partner to Turing's Research Partners selling and demoing custom and off-the-shelf human expert datasets into the frontier AI labs in the enterprise knowledge work domain. Every major lab is racing to push the frontier on multi-step reasoning over enterprise data, tool use, long-horizon task completion, and evaluation that reflects real work. They buy datasets, benchmarks, graders, and expert human expertise from Turing to train, post-train, and evaluate those capabilities. Your job is to convert our technical depth into won revenue. This is a founding Field Engineering role. The playbook, the demo library, the qualification bar, and the handoff to Production Engineering do not yet exist - you will build them.

Responsibilities

• Technical discovery - lead the technical track on every qualified EKW opportunity
• Partner with Research Partners to run the technical conversation with lab researchers and engineers.
• Understand what agentic capability the lab is trying to unlock, what "good" looks like, and what evaluations a post-training team would actually trust.
• Qualify opportunities against a bar you help define: scope, feasibility, strategic fit.
• Solution architecture - translate capability goals into scoped Turing deliverables
• Map research goals to Turing's offering shapes: agentic trajectories, rubric-graded reasoning tasks, tool-use evaluations, and domain-specialist-built datasets.
• Author technical proposals that frontier lab research leads accept and the Production Engineering team can execute without a rewrite.
• Prototyping and demo-building - prove the approach before contract
• Build reference agent loops, sample multi-step evaluations, and graded trajectories that demonstrate quality before contract signature.
• The demo has to run. Expect to write real code.
• POC ownership - take paid pilots from kick-off to scale-up decision
• Design a measurement plan the lab's research team will actually read and act on.
• Define success criteria, own the cadence, convert POC to production contract.
• R&D interface - channel GTM-to-R&D asks for Enterprise Knowledge Workflow opportunities
• Pre-digest technical asks before routing to R&D. Shield research time from ad hoc calendaring.
• Maintain a collaboration cadence that R&D teams trust.
• Playbook building - codify what works so future hires scale faster than you did
• Document discovery scripts, qualification criteria, demo artifacts, and objection-handling patterns for EKW opportunities.
• Own the EKW section of the Field Engineering knowledge base.
• Who We're Looking For
• 5+ years in applied AI, data engineering, or ML engineering, with meaningful work on agentic systems, RAG, tool use, or enterprise-knowledge LLM applications.
• Strong Python fluency and production experience with LLM orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, LlamaIndex, DSPy, or equivalents).
• Experience designing evaluations for multi-step reasoning or agentic systems - rubric design, trajectory grading, measurement beyond single-turn accuracy.
• Exposure to complex enterprise workflows (financial services, life sciences, legal, or similar) and the data and permission realities inside them.
• A high written communication bar: you can produce a scoping document that a frontier lab research lead accepts without a rewrite.
• Commercial instinct: you want to be in customer meetings, you can read a room, and you are willing to be measured on revenue.
• Strong pluses
• Prior time at a frontier AI lab, an AI startup building agentic products, or an enterprise AI team shipping to production.
• Experience with agentic or reasoning benchmarks (e.g., GAIA, τ-bench, or equivalents).
• Background in pre-sales, solutions architecture, or technical con
