Job description

Chemistry Subject Matter Expert (AI Training)

About The Role

We're looking for chemistry experts to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models being developed by the world's leading research labs.

Your scientific knowledge will directly shape how AI understands and reasons through complex chemistry — from undergraduate fundamentals to advanced graduate-level topics.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the frontier of AI development using skills you've already built — no prior AI experience needed.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design challenging, nuanced chemistry problems to rigorously test AI performance across domains such as chemical engineering, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and more
• Develop clear, methodical solutions with step-by-step reasoning that serve as gold-standard references
• Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, logical coherence, and depth of reasoning
• Collaborate with researchers to build and refine benchmarks spanning undergraduate through Master's-level chemistry
• Provide structured, actionable feedback that directly improves AI model quality

Who You Are

• Currently pursuing or have completed a Master's degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or a closely related field
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills across advanced chemistry domains
• Able to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and precisely in writing
• Detail-oriented with a commitment to rigor and accuracy
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on an asynchronous schedule
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, data quality assessment, or evaluation systems
• Familiarity with AI language models or scientific benchmarking
• Background spanning multiple chemistry subdisciplines

Why Join Us

• Work directly with industry-leading AI labs on projects at the cutting edge of science and technology
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule from anywhere
• Freelance perks: high autonomy, variety, and the ability to set your own pace
• Make a meaningful contribution to how AI understands science
• Strong potential for ongoing contract renewals and expanded project involvement
