About the role

Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and communicates complex topics — from protein folding to metabolic flux — making a real impact on the future of AI in life sciences.

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

Why Join Us

  • Work on high-impact AI projects in partnership with leading AI research labs.
  • Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule.
  • Contribute to meaningful work that advances AI accuracy in scientific domains.
  • Gain firsthand exposure to how large language models are trained and evaluated.
  • Freelance autonomy with the potential for ongoing contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Expert-Level Problems — Create advanced biochemistry challenges across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, enzyme kinetics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance.
  • Author Gold-Standard Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical responses that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI models.
  • Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and safety.
  • Sharpen AI Reasoning — Identify and document failure modes such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misunderstood metabolic logic, then provide structured feedback to drive model improvement.

Required skills

  • Deep domain knowledge in one or more areas: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics.
  • Able to translate highly technical concepts into clear, precise written explanations.
  • Exceptionally detail-oriented when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, or experimental protocols.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific peer review.
  • Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST.
  • Background in scientific writing or technical communication.

Experience and education

  • Holds a PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline.
  • No prior AI or data annotation experience required.
