DataAnnotation
What the role involves
- Writing chemistry prompts
- Reviewing AI reasoning
- Writing correct answers
What they ask for
Graduate-level chemistry background or equivalent lab experience; clear written English
About the job
Overview
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.
Roles this fits
Common backgrounds: Chemist, Analytical Chemist.
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.
