Train AI, contribute to the future of chemistry research

The models shaping the future of AI are only as rigorous as the chemists behind them. Apply your expertise where it matters, and get paid to do it.

Starting at $50-$100+/hr

This is not busywork.

The largest language models in the world still confuse reaction mechanisms with memorized templates. You're the feedback loop that fixes this — one mechanism at a time.

01-Rigor

Molecular-Level Reasoning

These are not surface-level labeling tasks. You're evaluating reaction mechanisms, checking thermodynamic feasibility, and verifying stereochemical arguments. The work demands the same rigor you'd apply to a peer-reviewed manuscript.

02-Signal

Direct Impact on AI Reasoning

Every time you identify where a model's chemical reasoning breaks down, you're helping it think more like a chemist. When you catch that it mistook a nucleophilic for an electrophilic attack, or misapplied Le Chatelier's principle, you're directly improving how it reasons through chemistry.

03-Flexibility

Work on Your Schedule

No fixed hours, no standups, no managers. Projects are available around the clock, and you choose when and how much to work. Most contributors work 10–50+ hours per week around their primary commitments.

04-Rate

Premium Compensation

Chemistry expertise is scarce and we pay accordingly. Rates start at $40/hour and scale with complexity and performance. Compensation is competitive with postdoc stipends and significantly above typical gig-economy work.

Three steps.
No overhead.

01

Apply & Qualify

Complete a short chemistry assessment. We evaluate your ability to reason through reaction mechanisms, identify flawed retrosynthetic analyses, and apply chemical intuition. No resume required — your work speaks.

~30 min assessment
02

Get Matched

Based on your background and assessment results, you're matched to projects in your areas of strength. Organic synthesis, computational chemistry, biochemistry, materials science — you choose what fits.

Flexible scheduling
03

Work & Get Paid

Complete tasks on your own schedule. Each task has clear specifications and a defined scope. Payment is per-task, processed weekly, starting at $40/hour.

What you'll actually do.

Where models need you most.

These are the areas where current AI systems consistently struggle. Your expertise addresses the hardest open problems in chemical reasoning, and your assessment determines where you start, not where you're limited. Contributors regularly work across multiple subfields and difficulty levels.

Organic Synthesis & Retrosynthesis


Evaluate retrosynthetic analyses, multi-step synthesis proposals, and stereochemical outcomes. Check for regioselectivity errors, protecting group logic, and feasibility of proposed transformations.

Stereochemistry
Protecting Groups

Physical & Computational Chemistry


Review quantum chemical calculations, thermodynamic derivations, and kinetic analyses. Verify orbital symmetry arguments, transition state geometries, and free energy calculations.

Quantum Chemistry
Thermodynamics
Kinetics

Inorganic & Coordination Chemistry


Assess crystal field theory applications, coordination complex analyses, and organometallic reaction mechanisms. Verify electron counting, symmetry labels, and spectroscopic predictions.

Biochemistry & Chemical Biology


Verify enzyme mechanism proposals, metabolic pathway analyses, and structure-activity relationships. Check for correct protonation states, hydrogen bonding patterns, and catalytic residue identification.

Enzyme Mechanisms
Drug Design
Protein Chemistry

Analytical & Materials Chemistry


Evaluate reasoning about electrochemical systems, polymer behavior, and environmental chemistry applications. Check for errors in reaction feasibility, degradation mechanisms, and quantitative reasoning.

A selective community of experts

Work alongside writers, lawyers, health professionals, coders, professors, and bilingual experts shaping the future of AI.

The problems here actually require engineering judgment. It's some of the most rigorous work I've done outside of a staff role.

Marcus

Software Engineer

The variety is what I didn't expect. One week I'm rewriting technical explanations, the next I'm evaluating how a model handles tone and voice.

Julia

Senior Copywriter

Clinical nuance matters in this work. It's rare to find contract work where my specialty actually gets used properly.

Melissa

Clinical Reviewer

The evaluation work here is more rigorous than most PM research I've run in-house. I've genuinely changed how I think about product quality.

Azhar

Senior Product Manager

Legal reasoning in AI is still an unsolved problem. Getting to shape how these models handle it, from a practitioner's perspective, is the work I actually want to be doing.

Krysta

Solicitor

The code review standards here are higher than most teams I've worked on. It's sharpened how I think about edge cases in my day job.

Tyler

Senior Engineer

Pressure-testing these tools surfaces failure modes that matter. The work holds up to the standards I'd apply in practice.

Abi

Litigation Attorney

Most freelance work in my field is content mills. This is the first engagement where my clinical training is the reason I was hired, not an afterthought.

Liana

Clinical Researcher

My writing background is exactly what this work needs. Evaluating how models handle narrative, voice, and subtext is surprisingly rigorous.
