Job summary

DataAnnotation is seeking a chemist to evaluate AI chemical reasoning, identify unsafe or impossible mechanisms, and craft correct, safety-conscious explanations. You will write prompts, review model outputs, and contribute high-quality written answers.

Ideal candidates have a strong chemistry background, comfort across sub-disciplines, and clear written English. This remote, flexible role emphasizes practical skill over formal degrees.

Qualifications

• Must have graduate-level chemistry background or equivalent lab experience.
• Comfort across organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry.
• Clear written English: explanations are the training signal.
• No degree required; focus on what you can do, not where you learned it.

Responsibilities

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