Job description

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the centralized, open platform where AI training and data-labeling freelancers find work, consolidate opportunities across platforms, and build a unified AI training portfolio they control. We make specialized AI training work easier to track, apply for, and grow into a durable freelance career.

About this role

OpenTrain is recruiting Chemistry specialists to support AI research through expert question design and scientific review. You will create rigorous, domain-relevant chemistry questions and evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, chemical validity, and the quality of their reasoning. The work draws on advanced chemistry knowledge across areas such as organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, materials, and computational chemistry.

What you will do

• Design challenging chemistry questions that test domain-relevant reasoning and technical problem-solving.
• Review AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy and chemical validity.
• Assess whether explanations are logically consistent with reaction mechanisms, experimental design, and data interpretation.
• Provide clear expert feedback that helps improve AI understanding of chemistry.
• Apply sound judgment across chemistry topics and identify subtle errors in reasoning or interpretation.

Required skills

• Careful written communication and independent judgment when reviewing complex scientific content.

Helpful background

Experience in organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, materials, or computational chemistry can support the breadth of work involved. This opportunity can fit alongside research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment, with a flexible asynchronous schedule and participation during active projects.

Work arrangement

This is an ongoing, project-based, fully remote opportunity with flexible participation. Most contributors work approximately 5-20 hours per week when an active project is available, and the role is offered as hourly contract work.

Compensation

The opportunity offers up to $150 per hour for qualifying work.

Why work with OpenTrain

OpenTrain gives freelancers one place to manage AI training opportunities instead of rebuilding proof of work on every platform. A stronger OpenTrain profile helps you show credible experience, discover roles that match your skills, and turn AI training and data-labeling work into a long-term portfolio.
