Biochemist – AI Data Trainer

At Alignerr, we partner with the world’s leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting‑edge AI models.


Organization: Alignerr | Position: Biochemist – AI Data Trainer | Type: Hourly Contract | Compensation: $35–$70 /hour | Location: Remote | Commitment: 10–40 hours/week


About the Job

We are seeking PhD-level Biochemists to challenge and refine advanced language models on topics like protein folding, metabolic flux analysis, molecular genetics, and enzyme kinetics. In this remote contract role, you will document failure modes in AI reasoning to help harden model accuracy for scientific research. Work on high‑impact projects while earning $35+/hour, fully remote, with flexible weekly hours. No prior AI experience is required.


What You’ll Do

  • Develop complex biochemistry problems across domains such as nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, and drug‑target interactions to test AI performance.
  • Author ground‑truth solutions: create rigorous, step‑by‑step technical solutions and golden responses that the AI will use as a benchmark for high‑level scientific reasoning.
  • Technical auditing: evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical proofs for technical accuracy, safety, and adherence to scientific standards.
  • Refine reasoning: identify logical fallacies in AI reasoning—such as incorrect stoichiometry or misunderstood stereochemistry—and provide structured feedback to help the model improve its thinking process for life science tasks.

Requirements

  • Advanced degree: PhD (completed or in final stages) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field.
  • Domain expertise: strong foundational knowledge in core areas such as structural biology, enzymology, cellular metabolism, or bioinformatics.
  • Analytical writing: ability to communicate highly technical biological and chemical concepts clearly and concisely in written form.
  • Attention to detail: high level of precision when checking complex chemical equations, molecular diagrams, and experimental protocols.
  • No AI experience required.

Preferred

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality, or evaluation systems.
  • Experience with computational biochemistry tools (e.g., PyMOL, AlphaFold, or BLAST).

Why Join Us

  • Competitive pay and flexible remote work.
  • Collaborate with a team working on cutting‑edge AI projects.
  • Exposure to advanced LLMs and how they’re trained.
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, flexibility, and global collaboration.
  • Potential for contract extension.

Application Process

  • Submit your resume.
  • Complete a short screening.
  • Project matching and onboarding.

PS: Our team reviews applications daily. Please complete your AI interview and application steps to be considered for this opportunity.

How Many Biotechnology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Biotech Job?

If you are trying to break into biotechnology or progress your career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know is endless. One job advert asks for PCR, another mentions cell culture, another lists bioinformatics pipelines, automation platforms or GMP systems. LinkedIn makes it worse, with people sharing long skills lists that make you wonder if you are already behind. Here is the reality most biotech employers will not say out loud: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand biological systems, can work accurately and safely, follow protocols, interpret results and contribute reliably to a team. Tools matter, but only when they support those outcomes. So how many biotechnology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer depends on the role you are targeting, but for most job seekers it is far fewer than you think. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Biotechnology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers in biotechnology do not start by reading your CV word for word. They scan for credibility, relevance and risk. In a regulated, evidence-driven sector like biotech, the first question is simple: is this person safe, competent and genuinely capable of contributing in this environment? Whether you are applying for roles in research, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, clinical, bioinformatics or commercial biotech, the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK biotechnology look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why capable candidates are often rejected. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply.
