- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and refine quality standards, scoring criteria, and review processes
- Maintain high accuracy and consistency across evaluations — reliable, actionable results are the core deliverable
- Contribute to continuous improvement of evaluation workflows and best practices
- Support the development of training data that enhances AI system performance and reliability

Skills — all required:
- Exceptional reading comprehension and acute attention to detail
- Strong observational skills with excellent aesthetic or editorial judgment
- Ability to think critically and deliver consistent, high-quality evaluations in ambiguous scenarios
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
- Comfort working across various content types and evaluation guidelines
- Strong sense of ownership, reliability, and commitment to delivering high-quality work
- Open-minded approach to learning and quickly adapting to new workflows
Preferred Qualifications (added advantage):

- Experience reviewing creative, visual, or AI-generated content
- Familiarity with annotation, QA, content moderation, or evaluation workflows

No prior AI industry experience is required — micro1 explicitly states that your domain knowledge and judgment are what matter.

Tips for a Strong Application
Lead with your domain. micro1 is hiring across many specialisms — design, UX, writing, editing, content strategy, and more. Name your specific area of expertise clearly upfront. “I have 5 years of UX writing experience” is a stronger opening than “I am detail-oriented.”
Show your editorial judgment. The key differentiator in evaluation roles is the quality of your reasoning, not your speed. Be prepared to articulate why something is good or weak — not just that it is.
Demonstrate adaptability. micro1 explicitly values openness to new workflows. If you’ve worked across multiple content formats, platforms, or evaluation systems, highlight that range.
