About the role

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 doWrite promptsthat probe chemical reasoning: mechanisms, synthesis routes, and analytical interpretation. Review AI outputfor impossible mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and misread spectra, and rate the reasoning. Write the correct answerwhen the model falls short, with proper attention to conditions and safety. What we look forGraduate-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. CompensationUp to $40 – $125+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
