Hiring companyAlignerr
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.
Schedule details
10–40 hours per week.
Eligibility
Work arrangement: Fully remote
Eligible countries: United States
