Chemist

DataAnnotation

$40–125/hr 6 countries Full-time Mid level

Remote work checking AI chemical reasoning on mechanisms, syntheses and spectra, and flagging impossible or unsafe procedures. Suits chemists with graduate-level training or equivalent laboratory experience.

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.
