Remote Chemistry Pod Lead — Training & Quality

Turing Enterprises, Inc.; Fatih; Remote; TRY 276,000 - 441,000; Full time

Job summary

Turing Enterprises, Inc. is seeking an experienced Chemistry expert to lead a pod of trainers building terminal-based scientific tasks for Terminal Bench Science. You will review tasks for chemical correctness, safety, and grader reliability, coaching trainers to deliver high-quality, challenging work.

You will ensure authentic chemistry workflows, verify reproducibility, and mentor junior teams while maintaining documentation and feedback loops to sustain project quality.

Qualifications

• PhD or equivalent advanced experience in chemistry or a closely related field.
• Strong programming skills in Python, C/C++, Julia, or Fortran, with Linux and terminal proficiency.
• Hands-on experience with computational chemistry, molecular simulation, cheminformatics, or chemical data analysis.
• Proven experience reviewing code, analyses, manuscripts, or research outputs.
• Experience mentoring or leading small technical or research teams.
• Excellent written communication skills for providing precise, constructive feedback.

Responsibilities

• Review trainer tasks end to end, including task statements, molecular structures, spectra and datasets, force-field parameters, environments, reference solutions, and automated tests.
• Verify that tasks reflect authentic chemistry research workflows and require genuine multi-step reasoning rather than a single library call or lookup.
• Check that software versions, force fields, basis sets, functionals, and dependencies are pinned and that results are reproducible.
• Validate chemical correctness, including units such as Hartree, eV, kcal/mol, and kJ/mol; charge and spin multiplicity; stereochemistry and tautomer handling; method specifications; SCF and geometry convergence; frequency checks for minima and transition states; equilibration; and sampling adequacy.
• Screen tasks for chemical safety and dual-use concerns.
• Onboard and mentor trainers on task design standards, common pitfalls, and grader design.
