About the Role
This position focuses on developing a comprehensive evaluation system for advanced AI models specialized in pharmaceutical research. Acting as a subject matter expert, you will create authentic research scenarios that compel AI to handle intricate, unstructured data sets. Your primary goal is to verify that these models perform genuine reasoning and logical deduction instead of using surface-level pattern recognition. You will generate complex environments where the answers are hidden within the provided context, necessitating advanced analytical synthesis. You will also develop immersive scientific simulations featuring ambiguous, indirect, or deceptive data. As the lead authority on task difficulty and scientific accuracy, you will oversee the creation of source-verified evidence and structured evaluation protocols to measure model performance. This role requires an advanced grasp of scientific research methods to build problems that are logically sound and intellectually demanding.
Requirements
- You should possess a PhD or a comparable professional background in areas such as structural medicinal chemistry, fragment-based discovery, mechanistic enzymology, or the design of peptides and antibodies.
- You must be capable of crafting research problems that lead to a defendable outcome while preventing AI from bypassing the required reasoning steps.
- You need to be skilled at assessing the quality of an AI model's analytical process, focusing on the soundness of its logic rather than just the final result.
- You are required to be proficient in utilizing web-based development studios and Claude Code.
- You must maintain an active Claude Max subscription to fulfill your duties.
Responsibilities
- You will produce three primary elements for every assignment: the initial prompt, the repository of evidence, and the assessment rubric.
- You will define scientific challenges by pinpointing key research areas and logical pathways that lead to a necessary conclusion.
- You will build evidence repositories using verified, real-world data, ensuring every key finding is linked to an authentic source.
- You will draft detailed grading documentation that assesses output based on logical rigor and factual substance rather than formatting or tone.
- You will manage the validation and adjustment phases for each task, including making updates as directed by the review team.
Benefits & Perks
- You will have a flexible work schedule ranging from 20 to 40 hours each week.
- The company provides full reimbursement for the mandatory Claude Max subscription.
