Software Engineer - Chemistry (Remote)

• Role: Software Engineer - Chemistry (Remote)
• Location: Remote (Work from Anywhere)

Role Overview:

We are hiring for one of our clients, seeking a Scientific Coding - Chemistry and Python to work on a full-time basis. The position supports the scicode project, which is creating a high‑quality STEM AI training dataset used to train and evaluate frontier AI models. As a scicode trainer you will author, implement, and review complex scientific coding tasks that directly influence the performance of large language models in chemistry‑related domains.

Key Responsibilities:

• Write scientific problem specifications that include one main problem and at least three logically connected sub‑problems, ensuring clear constraints and expected outputs.

• Implement verified golden solutions in Python, providing complete unit test coverage for each task.

• Design discriminative test cases that clearly separate correct from incorrect model outputs and support robust evaluation.

• Run quality‑control validation checks on the Turing Central Task Platform, including Tier 1 structural checks and Tier 2 rubric‑based quality assessments.

• Iterate on tasks based on QC feedback to achieve pass@k evaluation criteria across multiple LLM judges such as GPT, Gemini, and Nemotron, while maintaining a low rework rate and consistent L1 approval on first submission.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Master’s or PhD in chemistry, demonstrating deep subject‑matter expertise.

• Strong Python programming skills, with hands‑on experience in scientific computing libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, or SymPy.

• Proven ability to write rigorous, well‑posed scientific problems with clear constraints, expected outputs, and deterministic behavior.

• Prior experience in AI data annotation, scientific research, or technical writing, showing familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks or coding benchmarks.

• Excellent attention to detail to meet strict rubrics for well‑posedness, test‑case discriminativeness, scientific correctness, and determinism.

More About the Opportunity:

This role offers a unique chance to work with a global leader in the research services industry, contributing to the creation of benchmark‑grade scientific coding tasks that shape the next generation of AI capabilities in chemistry. The engagement is a contractor assignment lasting eight weeks, requiring 40 hours per week with a four‑hour daily overlap with Pacific Standard Time.

Equal Opportunity Employer:

We hire based on skills and expertise. All qualified candidates are welcome regardless of background, experience, or prior employment history. Applications are reviewed solely on demonstrated technical ability and qualifications.
