About the role

Your deep domain expertise will directly shape how AI understands and communicates complex biochemical concepts — from protein folding to metabolic flux — making a real impact on the future of scientific AI.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience required.

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects in partnership with world-leading AI research labs.
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere.
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration.
  • Gain rare, first-hand exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated.
  • Contribute to meaningful work that improves AI accuracy in life sciences.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Advanced Problems — Craft challenging biochemistry questions across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzymology, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI performance.
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI systems.
  • Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and adherence to scientific standards.
  • Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied kinetics — and provide structured feedback to improve model reasoning.
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule.

Required skills

  • Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or related areas.
  • Analytical Writer: Able to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and concisely in written form.
  • Detail-Oriented: High precision when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation workflows.
  • Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST.

Experience and education

  • Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
  • No prior AI experience required.
