In series 3 episode 16 of “Scaling So Far” (and our 50th episode EVER!!), we're joined by Jonathan Siddharth, Founder and CEO of Turing - the California-founded data-science platform that's on a mission to unleash the world's untapped human potential. The fully remote company is 900+ people strong, and help to connect world-class remote software engineers with world-class companies.

The company recently entered unicorn territory (now valued at over $1.1 B) with a Series D round of financing and is backed by prominent investors such as WestBridge Capital, Foundation Capital, Founders Fund (investors in Facebook, Tesla, Asana), Altair Capital, Mindset Ventures, Frontier Ventures, Gaingels, Facebook's first CTO (Adam D'Angelo), and illustrious executives from Google, Amazon, and Twitter.

Having been named one of the best startup employers by Forbes last year, we spoke to Jonathan about some of the lessons they've learnt scaling the Turing team, why unlocking global opportunity for top tech talent is critical today, and some of the tactics he finds effective in sourcing, engaging, and nurturing brilliant engineers.
