About the role

You will assess outputs for correctness, clarity, biochemical reasoning, calculation accuracy where relevant, experimental context, safety awareness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in molecular mechanisms, pathways, enzyme kinetics, protein structure, metabolism, genetics, lab methods, and scientific interpretation; fact-check claims when needed; write high-quality rewrites and model answers that demonstrate best practices in biochemistry explanation; and rate and compare multiple AI responses based on correctness and overall quality.

Your biochemistry expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by making their biochemical, molecular biology, and life-science outputs more accurate, reliable, and clearly explained.
