Overview
Help build a rigorous STEM training dataset of high-quality scientific coding tasks used to train and evaluate frontier AI models, authoring, implementing and reviewing complex scientific problems.
This posting is for materials science.
Responsibilities
- Write scientific problem specifications with one main problem and at least 3 logically connected sub-problems that build towards its solution.
- Implement verified golden solutions in Python with complete unit-test coverage.
- Design discriminating test cases that clearly separate correct from incorrect model outputs.
- Run QC validation on the project’s task platform (structure checks and quality rubrics) and iterate on feedback to meet Pass@K criteria across several LLM judges (GPT, Gemini, Nemotron).
- Keep quality high with a low rework rate, aiming for first-submission approval.
- Join sync calls for reviews, feedback and stand-ups during overlap hours.
Requirements
- A Master’s or PhD in materials science or a related field.
- Strong Python skills with scientific-computing experience.
- The ability to write rigorous, well-posed scientific problems with clear constraints and expected outputs.
- Attention to detail: tasks must meet strict rubrics for well-posedness, test discriminativeness, scientific correctness and determinism.
- Prior experience in AI data annotation, research or scientific writing.
- Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks or coding benchmarks.
- Experience with NumPy, SciPy, SymPy or domain-specific scientific tools.
- Published research or academic project experience in a STEM field.
