Job description

This role is for one of our clients
Compensation: $45-$100 per hour
We are building a large-scale evaluation benchmark to test advanced AI reasoning across scientific and engineering domains. This role focuses on designing rigorous, research-grade computational problems that assess how effectively AI systems can leverage real scientific software tools to solve complex challenges.
Unlike traditional annotation roles, this position requires creating original, graduate-level problems rooted in real-world scientific workflows. You will iteratively refine these problems through calibration against state-of-the-art AI models, ensuring the right balance of difficulty, depth, and reasoning complexity.
Requirements
What You'll Do
  • Design advanced computational problems requiring the use of domain-specific scientific software
  • Create tasks that test both precise execution (multi-step workflows, simulations) and strategic reasoning (experiment design, inference from partial data)
  • Develop problem setups, solution pathways, and validation mechanisms
  • Calibrate and refine tasks based on model performance to achieve target difficulty levels
  • Ensure problems emphasize reasoning strategy over brute-force computation

Domains & Tools of Interest
We are particularly seeking candidates with hands-on experience in:
  • Bioinformatics & Single-Cell Genomics: scanpy, scvelo, squidpy, gudhi (RNA-seq, trajectory inference, spatial transcriptomics)
  • Computational Chemistry: PySCF (HF, DFT, TDDFT, CASSCF, post-HF methods)
  • Particle & Nuclear Physics: scikit-hep, Monte Carlo simulations, collider data analysis
  • Electrical Engineering: scikit-rf, ngspice (RF systems, circuit simulation)
  • Astrophysics & Cosmology: astropy (cosmological modeling, survey analysis)
  • Structural & Mechanical Engineering: scikit-fem (finite element analysis, elasticity, beam theory)
  • Seismology & Geophysics: ObsPy, SPECFEM (waveform analysis, inversion, tomography)
  • Pharmacokinetics & Systems Biology: libRoadRunner, Tellurium, SBML-based tools

Experience with other specialized tools in related domains is also welcomed.
What Makes You a Strong Fit
  • Graduate-level expertise (MS or PhD preferred) in a relevant STEM field
  • Hands-on experience using scientific software libraries for real research problems
  • Strong Python programming skills, including building computational workflows and validators
  • Ability to design challenging problems that require deep reasoning rather than surface-level solutions
  • Familiarity with edge cases, limitations, and practical challenges of scientific tools

Requirements
  • Demonstrated proficiency with at least one relevant scientific library (via research, open-source work, or industry experience)
  • Ability to work independently and iterate based on feedback
  • Comfort working in Linux/terminal environments and remote compute setups
  • Availability of at least 15-20 hours per week

Nice to Have
  • Experience across multiple domains or tools
  • Background in evaluation frameworks or benchmarking
  • Experience in teaching, pedagogy, or problem-set design
  • Familiarity with reproducible research practices and containerized environments

Engagement Details
  • Independent contractor role
  • Fully remote with flexible scheduling
  • Project scope may evolve based on performance and research needs

Compensation & Payments
  • Competitive compensation based on expertise and domain specialization
  • Weekly payments via supported global payment platforms

Additional Information
  • Work must not involve sharing confidential or proprietary information from any current or past employer or institution
  • Projects may be extended, modified, or concluded based on performance and business requirements
  • This opportunity does not currently support certain work authorization categories
