Biochemist

Seattle

**Biochemist -- AI Data Trainer** **About The Role** Your years of rigorous scientific training are more valuable than ever --- and not just in the lab. We're looking for PhD-level Biochemists to help train and refine some of the world's most advanced AI models on cutting-edge scientific reasoning. At Alignerr, we partner with leading AI research teams to build models that can think like experts. That means we need real experts --- people who can spot when an AI gets enzyme kinetics wrong, misunderstands stereochemistry, or produces a flawed metabolic pathway. If that's you, this role was built for you. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI experience required --- just deep biochemistry knowledge and sharp analytical thinking. **What You'll Do** * Design Expert-Level Problems --- Create challenging biochemistry problems spanning protein folding, nucleic acid chemistry, metabolic flux analysis, proteomics, and drug-target interactions to rigorously stress-test AI performance. * Author Gold-Standard Solutions --- Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as the scientific benchmark for AI reasoning in life sciences. * Audit AI Outputs --- Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical derivations for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and safety. * Sharpen AI Reasoning --- Identify and document reasoning failures --- such as incorrect stoichiometry, stereochemical errors, or flawed enzyme mechanisms --- and provide structured feedback that directly improves model quality. **Who You Are** * Advanced Degree: PhD (completed or in progress) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related discipline. * Deep Domain Knowledge: Strong expertise in one or more of the following --- structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, molecular genetics, or bioinformatics. * Scientific Writer: Ability to communicate complex biological and chemical concepts clearly, precisely, and concisely in written form. * Meticulous Attention to Detail: High precision when reviewing chemical equations, molecular diagrams, reaction mechanisms, and experimental protocols. * No AI experience required --- we'll guide you through everything you need to know. **Nice to Have** * Experience with data annotation, quality evaluation, or scientific peer review * Familiarity with computational biochemistry tools such as PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST * Background in bioinformatics or cheminformatics **Why Join Us** * Work on what matters --- contribute directly to AI systems being used by top research labs worldwide * Fully remote and flexible --- work on your own schedule, from anywhere * Freelance autonomy --- no rigid hours, no commute, no office politics * Meaningful impact --- your scientific expertise shapes how AI understands and reasons about biochemistry * Potential for ongoing work --- strong contributors are regularly extended on new projects * Global collaboration --- work alongside scientists and researchers from around the world
