About the role

Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex biochemistry — from protein folding and enzyme kinetics to metabolic flux and molecular genetics.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role working alongside world-leading AI research teams. No prior AI experience required — your scientific depth is what matters.

Why Join Us

  • Work on high-impact AI projects with top-tier research labs and organizations.
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, wherever you are.
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global network of experts.
  • Gain exposure to how advanced large language models are trained and evaluated.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Complex Problems — Create advanced biochemistry challenges across areas like proteomics, nucleic acid chemistry, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance.
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as gold-standard benchmarks for AI scientific reasoning.
  • Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy and scientific integrity.
  • Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical errors such as incorrect stoichiometry or misapplied stereochemistry, and provide structured feedback to improve how the model thinks through life science problems.
  • Work Independently — Complete task-based assignments asynchronously on a schedule that works for you.

Required skills

  • Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or related areas.
  • Clear Communicator: Able to explain highly technical biological and chemical concepts in precise, well-structured written form.
  • Detail-Oriented: High level of precision when reviewing complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or academic peer review.
  • Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST.
  • Background in bioinformatics or cheminformatics.

Experience and education

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