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.

Adjacent scientific or quantitative disciplines may also be considered where the candidate's expertise is directly relevant.
What You’ll Work On
- Solve 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.
Required Qualifications
- 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.
Process
- Apply to the role and complete the screening questions.
- Complete an AI interview of approximately 30 minutes.
- Complete the hiring manager review.
