About the Role

What if your years of chemistry expertise could directly shape how AI reasons through the most complex scientific problems in the world? We're looking for Chemistry Specialists — Masters and PhD-level experts — to design, solve, and evaluate advanced chemistry problems that train cutting-edge AI models to think like scientists.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just deep domain expertise in chemistry and a rigorous, detail-oriented mind.

What You'll Do

  • Design and solve complex, real-world chemistry problems spanning organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
  • Review and evaluate AI-generated chemistry content for scientific accuracy, depth, and rigor
  • Craft nuanced, multi-step problem statements that challenge AI reasoning at a graduate level
  • Collaborate asynchronously with AI researchers and fellow domain experts to improve model performance
  • Ensure all deliverables meet high standards of scientific clarity and precision
  • Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • Master's or PhD in Chemistry or a closely related field
  • Deep expertise in one or more areas: organic, inorganic, physical, or computational chemistry
  • Proficient in Python or computational chemistry tools such as Gaussian, VASP, or similar
  • Exceptionally detail-oriented — you catch errors others miss and hold yourself to a high scientific standard
  • Clear and precise written communicator in English
  • Fully remote and fluent in English and based in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, or New Zealand

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or AI evaluation workflows
  • Background in academic research, scientific publishing, or technical writing
  • Familiarity with AI tools or machine learning concepts
  • Experience designing curriculum, problem sets, or assessments at a graduate level

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI teams

Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you

Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, intellectually stimulating work

Apply your expertise to problems that genuinely matter — shaping how AI understands science

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
