Overview Models routinely propose impossible mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and syntheses that no bench chemist would attempt. As a Chemist you'll evaluate AI chemical reasoning, catch what's wrong or unsafe, and write the answers a trained chemist would give.
What you’ll actually do Write prompts that probe chemical reasoning: mechanisms, synthesis routes, and analytical interpretation. Review AI output for impossible mechanisms, unsafe procedures, and misread spectra, and rate the reasoning. Write the correct answer when the model falls short, with proper attention to conditions and safety.
Roles this fits Common backgrounds: Chemist, Analytical Chemist.
What we look for Graduate-level chemistry background or equivalent lab experience. Comfort across organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry. Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal. No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
Compensation Up to $125+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. Many contributors add $100k–$200k a year; some make it their full-time income.

What does the Chemist role at DataAnnotation pay?

Is DataAnnotation a legitimate AI-training platform?
Reported worker-facing operating brand - and that relationship is rated "High - reported, not disclosed on portal" here because it can be checked against nymag.com rather than taken on DataAnnotation's word. Confidence describes how well the ownership is evidenced. It is not a rating of how the platform treats the people who work for it, which no public source covers reliably.
