Benefits offered by this job

Flexible, remote

Project-based work

Job summary

DataAnnotation is where 100k+ experts train the world’s leading AI models. As a Chemist you’ll evaluate AI chemical reasoning, catch what’s wrong or unsafe, and write the answers a trained chemist would give.

This flexible, remote role lets you write prompts that probe mechanisms, review model outputs for unsafe steps, and deliver correct explanations with attention to conditions and safety.

Qualifications

• Graduate-level chemistry background or equivalent lab experience.
• Excellent written English for explanations and training signals.
• Ability to work across organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry domains.

Responsibilities

• Write prompts that probe chemical reasoning: mechanisms, synthesis routes, and analytical interpretation.
• Review AI output for impossible mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and misread spectra, and rate the reasoning.
• Write the correct answer when the model falls short, with proper attention to conditions and safety.

Job description

Models routinely propose impossible mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and syntheses that no bench chemist would attempt.

As a Chemist you'll evaluate AI chemical reasoning, catch what's wrong or unsafe, and write the answers a trained chemist would give.

What you’ll actually do

• Write prompts that probe chemical reasoning: mechanisms, synthesis routes, and analytical interpretation.
• Review AI output for impossible mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and misread spectra, and rate the reasoning.
• Write the correct answer when the model falls short, with proper attention to conditions and safety.

What we look for

• Graduate-level chemistry background or equivalent lab experience.
• Comfort across organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry.
• Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
• No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.

Compensation

Up to $40 – $125+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. Many contributors add $10k–$100k+ a year; some make it their full-time income.
