Location: Global, fully remote
Job Type: Contract (~15 hours per week)
Schedule: Flexible, including weekends if desired
We are looking for highly skilled STEM and scientific-domain experts to contribute to an AI training project involving technical problem-solving, scientific reasoning, data analysis, and Python.
The work involves solving, reviewing, and validating challenging problems within your area of expertise. A representative task may require analyzing a scientific or mathematical problem, developing a rigorous solution, using Python to perform calculations or simulations, and evaluating whether an AI-generated answer is technically correct.
This is a very coding heavy role. Candidates but have experience using coding agents in their workflow.
Candidates are not expected to be experts across every STEM discipline. We are looking for deep expertise in at least one of the following areas:
- Chemistry
- Biology
- Mathematics
- Physics
Earth Science / Geoscience / Environmental Science
- Robotics
Adjacent scientific or quantitative disciplines may also be considered where the candidate's expertise is directly relevant.
What You’ll Work OnSolve complex scientific, mathematical, or technical problems within your domain of expertise.
Review AI-generated solutions for factual, mathematical, and scientific correctness.
Identify incorrect assumptions, reasoning errors, missing constraints, and subtle technical mistakes.
Strong expertise in at least one relevant STEM or scientific domain.
Practical proficiency with Python or other coding languages.
Strong scientific, mathematical, or quantitative problem-solving ability.
Relevant Python tools may include NumPy, SciPy, pandas, SymPy, Jupyter, or domain-specific scientific libraries. No particular Python library is mandatory.
Expertise may come from academic research, industry, teaching, engineering, independent technical work, or other demonstrated experience. A specific degree or number of years of experience is not strictly required if you can demonstrate strong expertise in your field.
