Classical Jyotish Scholar (Parashara Tradition)

About Turing:

Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world's leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems.

Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L

About the role:

You are a traditionally trained Jyotishi with deep knowledge of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and allied classical texts. You will create evaluation problems that test an AI model's ability to interpret birth charts, identify classical Yogas, analyze Dasha-Bhukti periods, assess planetary strengths, and make life-domain predictions (career, health, marriage, finance). Your problems will include step-by-step Chain-of-Thought reasoning grounded in Shastra references.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create 15-25 evaluation problems per month (mix of Easy, Medium, Hard) with full CoT reasoning and ground truth answers
• Design problems covering: Rashi chart interpretation, Bhava analysis, Yoga identification (from the 300+ classical Yogas), Dasha-Bhukti-Antardasha prediction, planetary dignity assessment (Uccha, Neecha, Moolatrikona, Swakshetra), and aspect analysis
• Write detailed scoring rubrics with weighted criteria for each problem
• Cross-reference answers against classical texts (BPHS, Phaladeepika, Brihat Jataka, Saravali, Uttara Kalamrita) and cite specific chapters/shlokas where applicable
• Review problems created by peers for accuracy and Shastra fidelity
• Create multimodal problems that require reading planetary data from provided Kundali chart images (North/South Indian format)

Required Qualifications:

• Jyotish Visharad (graduate) or Jyotish Acharya (post-graduate) from a recognized institution (ICAS, BHU, University of Calcutta, Panjab University, or equivalent)
• Minimum 5 years of active practice with demonstrable consultation experience
• Thorough knowledge of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (at least 50 chapters) and one additional classical text
• Fluency in Vimshottari Dasha system and ability to manually compute Dasha periods
• Understanding of Shadbala (sixfold strength) and Ashtakavarga systems
• Ability to write in clear, structured English (problems and reasoning must be comprehensible to non-astrologers for QA purposes)
• Comfortable working with digital Kundali charts and structured data formats

Preferred / Nice-to-Have:

• Knowledge of Tajika (annual horoscopy/Varshaphal) system
• Experience with Prashna (horary) Jyotish
• Published articles, books, or YouTube content on Jyotish
• Familiarity with Jyotish software (Jagannatha Hora, Parashara Light, Shri Jyoti Star)
• Experience creating educational or examination content in Jyotish
