About the role

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more scientifically rigorous AI models — and we need expert biochemists to help us do it.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your expertise becomes the benchmark. You'll challenge, evaluate, and refine advanced AI systems on some of the most complex topics in the life sciences — and you don't need any prior AI experience to get started.

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside top-tier research labs and AI teams.
  • Fully remote and flexible — design your own schedule around your existing commitments.
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and the satisfaction of doing meaningful scientific work.
  • Contribute to AI that actually understands science — your expertise directly improves model accuracy for the research community.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension.

Responsibilities

  • Design Advanced Problems — Create rigorous biochemistry challenges across domains like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI performance.
  • Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as the scientific gold standard for AI reasoning and benchmarking.
  • Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical derivations for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and safety.
  • Refine AI Reasoning — Identify and document failure modes — such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemical reasoning, or misapplied enzyme kinetics — and provide structured feedback to improve model performance.
  • Work Independently — Complete assignments asynchronously on your own schedule, with no rigid hours or location requirements.

Required skills

  • Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge in one or more of: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, molecular genetics, or bioinformatics.
  • Analytical Communicator: Able to translate highly technical biological and chemical concepts into clear, precise written explanations.
  • Meticulous: High attention to detail when reviewing complex equations, molecular diagrams, reaction mechanisms, and experimental protocols.

Preferred skills

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

Experience and education

  • Advanced Degree: PhD completed or in final stages in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline.
  • No prior AI experience required — we'll get you up to speed.
