Scientific Coding AI Training Expert

The Work

You will create and evaluate complex scientific programming tasks used to train and assess advanced AI models. The work combines scientific problem design, Python implementation, testing, model-output review, and quality checks.

• Write scientific problem specifications with one main problem and at least three connected sub-problems.
• Build verified Python solutions with complete unit test coverage.
• Design tests that separate correct from incorrect model outputs and check scientific validity, determinism, and expected results.
• Run structural and quality checks against defined rubrics, then revise tasks using quality feedback.
• Evaluate model-generated outputs for correctness, clarity, and reliability.
• Join review discussions, feedback sessions, and project syncs.
