Synthetic / Process Chemist - Remote Task-Based

What You'll Do7

• Write single-turn chemistry prompts that test misuse potential in your domain.
• Label every prompt by its misuse tier: benign, dual-use, or adversarial.
• Review model responses against the provided policy standard.
• Decide whether each answer met the policy standard.
• Draft reference responses that show what a correct answer contains.
• Explain the technical reasoning behind each reference answer in language a non-specialist can follow.
• Flag any refusal of routine scale-up or kinetics questions as a model failure.

Requirements10

• Hands-on experience running synthetic routes and scaling them from bench to pilot to plant.
• Process chemistry background in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, or fine chemicals.
• Knowledge of reaction engineering, kinetics, impurity control, and process development.
• Ability to tell a routine professional question from one that seeks dangerous detail.
• Experience with precursor sourcing, controlled-substance registration, or regulatory chemistry.
• Method development and troubleshooting in a GMP or equivalent quality environment.
• Technical writing, published research, or expert witness experience, with a sample or link.
• Red-teaming experience preferred.
• Comfort reading and writing about misuse scenarios for sustained periods.
• Must not draw on classified, export-controlled, NDA-covered, or prepublication-review material.

Who Should Apply

The candidate who fits best has run synthetic routes and scaled them from bench to pilot to plant, can explain why a question is ordinary process chemistry or a misuse attempt, and writes clear rationales for each call. Chemists from pharmaceutical, agrochemical, or fine chemicals settings do well here, if they bring red-teaming, technical writing, published research, or expert witness work. This assignment suits people who accept sustained reading and writing about misuse scenarios. Generalists who have not owned route design or process work will find this role a poor match. Candidates score low when they send no writing sample or link, when they cannot point to specific scale-up stages, or when they ignore the rule against using classified, export-controlled, NDA-covered, or prepublication material.
