Biochemist

Biochemist — AI Data Trainer

About The Role

What if your deep knowledge of protein folding, enzyme kinetics, and metabolic pathways could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems reason about science?

Alignerr partners with leading AI research labs to build and refine cutting-edge models — and we need PhD-level biochemists to help us get the science right. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your expertise becomes the benchmark for AI scientific reasoning.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design Expert-Level Problems — Craft advanced biochemistry challenges spanning nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to stress-test AI performance
• Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write rigorous, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as gold-standard benchmarks for AI scientific reasoning
• Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy, safety, and scientific validity
• Refine AI Reasoning — Identify logical failures such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemistry, or misapplied enzyme kinetics, and provide structured feedback that directly improves model quality

Who You Are

• Holds a PhD (completed or near completion) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field
• Strong foundational expertise in one or more of: structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, bioinformatics, or molecular genetics
• Able to communicate complex biochemical and chemical concepts clearly and precisely in writing
• Detail-oriented — comfortable checking intricate chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async remote environment
• No prior AI experience required

Nice to Have

• Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific peer review
• Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST

Why Join Us

• Work on high-impact AI projects with top research labs at the frontier of science and technology
• Fully remote and async — work on your own schedule, wherever you are
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and the satisfaction of doing meaningful scientific work
• Gain firsthand exposure to how large language models are trained and evaluated
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
