Job summary

DataAnnotation is seeking a Chemist to evaluate AI chemical reasoning, identify unsafe or incorrect steps, and craft accurate responses for trained chemists. You’ll write prompts that probe mechanisms, review generated solutions, and supply corrected analyses with appropriate conditions and safety considerations.

The role requires a graduate-level chemistry background or equivalents, comfort across organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry, and clear written English.

Qualifications

• 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; ability to demonstrate capability matters more than formal credentials.

Responsibilities

• Write prompts that probe chemical reasoning: mechanisms, syntheses, and analytical interpretation.
• Review AI output for impossible mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and misread spectra; 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.
