How your chemistry expertise shapes more reliable AI
Frontier AI still struggles with problems that require deep scientific reasoning. Your expertise helps AI teams identify where models fail, create better training data, and measure whether new models are actually improving. Work alongside other experts on projects where rigor, accuracy, and sound judgment matter.
Create
Develop original problems, solutions, and explanations that test advanced chemical reasoning.
Review
Check work from other experts for correctness, rigor, and clarity — and strengthen it where needed.
Evaluate & improve
Analyze model responses, diagnose reasoning errors, and provide feedback that helps teams improve performance.
Getting started
Apply
Tell us your background and expertise.
Get verified
We confirm your identity and credentials via a background check. This is what makes companies trust every expert in our community.

What kinds of chemistry expertise are we looking for?
Organic Chemistry
Bring expertise in areas such as synthesis routes, reaction mechanisms, and stereochemistry. You may trace a multi-step transformation, design an original synthesis problem, or catch where a proposed mechanism doesn't actually hold up.
Inorganic & Analytical Chemistry
Apply knowledge of coordination chemistry, spectroscopy, and quantitative analysis. You may design problems that require precise, defensible reasoning from data to conclusion, or review a peer's analytical approach.
Biochemistry & Chemical Biology
Draw on experience with enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and molecular interactions. You may develop problems at the interface of chemistry and biology, or assess whether a proposed mechanism is biologically sound.
Materials & Physical Chemistry
Use a background in thermodynamics, kinetics, and materials behavior. You may combine rigorous derivation with real experimental intuition, or identify where a model's reasoning about materials behavior breaks down.
What the work actually
looks like
Write a graduate-level, multi-step chemistry problem from scratch.
Provide a precise, fully worked solution.
Design it so an AI model has to actually reason through the chemistry, not pattern-match.
Materials & physical chemistry
Other tasks ask you to review a peer's problem or a model's proposed solution, flagging subtle scientific errors and judging whether a more rigorous approach exists.
Graduate-level by design
Every task is calibrated so that a graduate-level expert can solve it confidently, but so that it genuinely challenges — and often stumps — today's most advanced AI reasoning models.
Expert judgment over shortcuts
That means multi-step derivations over rote recall, scientific precision over shortcuts, and real domain judgment over textbook plug-and-chug. If you're the kind of chemist who gets bored by easy problems, this is closer to the ceiling of what a task can ask of you.
Why Snorkel AI
Do work that actually matters
your scientific reasoning directly shapes how frontier AI models handle rigorous chemistry problems — not busywork that gets thrown away.
No AI experience required
Get paid for your expertise, not your hours
Total flexibility
This is remote and flexible work — hours depend on the assignment, not a fixed weekly minimum.
Built for real expertise
We look for Master's or PhD-level expertise in chemistry or a related discipline. Open to eligible U.S.-based contractors; residents of California are not currently eligible.
A vetted community, and your choice, always
We verify every expert's identity and credentials for real, and participation in any project is entirely voluntary.
