Board Game Reasoning Expert: Shaping the Future of Frontier AI at Turing
Company: Turing · Location: Remote — Worldwide · Type: contractor, full time · Posted: 2026-09-19
Discover how your mastery of game mechanics, strategic reasoning, and complex rule systems can train next-generation artificial intelligence models.
Artificial intelligence has evolved past basic conversational tasks and information retrieval. Today, frontier AI labs are pushing the boundaries of machine reasoning, multi-step problem solving, and complex decision-making. However, teaching an AI model how to strategize, anticipate outcomes, and adhere to intricate rule sets requires high-grade human expertise.
Turing stands at the forefront of this technological wave as one of the world's fastest-growing AI companies. By bridging top-tier human talent with leading AI research labs, Turing helps refine how large language models (LLMs) process logic and strategy. The newly launched **Board Game Reasoning Expert** role offers an elite remote contracting opportunity for strategists, game designers, and analytical minds.
About Turing and the Core Mission
Turing empowers top AI labs by translating real-world human expertise into rigorous training data, evaluations, and RLHF feedback loops. In the Board Game Reasoning Expert role, your primary objective is to leverage your deep background in board games, game mechanics, probability, and formal logic to construct evaluation tasks that test an AI's tactical reasoning. You aren't just playing games; you are reverse-engineering cognitive strategy to build the foundational reasoning layer for next-gen models.
What Your Day-to-Day Looks Like
As a Board Game Reasoning Expert, your daily responsibilities are intellectually stimulating and highly analytical:
- Task Creation: Design sophisticated game-based reasoning scenarios and multi-step evaluation tasks to test AI capabilities.
- Strategic Analysis: Dissect decision trees, board game states, probabilistic models, and rule-based systems.
- Model Evaluation: Audit AI-generated responses for logical consistency, rule adherence, and strategic depth.
- Rubric Development: Author comprehensive evaluation guidelines, prompts, and QA frameworks for strategy-focused tasks.
- Collaboration: Work alongside AI research teams to refine datasets and elevate benchmarking methodologies.
You Are a Perfect Fit If You Possess:
Required Qualifications:
- Educational Background: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Cognitive Science, Game Design, Philosophy, Economics, or a related analytical field.
- Experience: 2+ years of professional or semi-professional experience in board game design, playtesting, tabletop gaming communities, or strategy environments.
- Core Competencies: Exceptional command of formal logic, probabilistic reasoning, game theory, and complex rule interpretation.
- Domain Familiarity: Deep interest in modern board games, trading card games (TCGs), tabletop RPGs, and competitive strategy systems.
