Common questions
Does micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes. Time-tracking tools take screenshots now and then to confirm your hours. Check the project's requirements before you accept it.
What does the micro1 application process look like?
You start with a video interview with Zara, micro1's AI interviewer. Treat it like a video call: good light, clear sound and spoken answers to technical questions. A person reviews the recording, and some roles add a short skills test.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Short, hands-on tasks such as recording videos, sorting images, rating AI answers or checking data. Most take 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does Software Engineering work look like for a Computational Bioscience Expert (Python)?
You check AI answers to Software Engineering questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a Computational Bioscience Expert (Python), you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Software Engineering experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Python, Biology, Medicine, and Materials are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening to test for them.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's how many people micro1 still wants to hire for this role: 250 when we last checked. A high number means more places to fill. The screening stays the same.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $60-120/hr, an hourly rate. Where you land in the range depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change after we check the listing, so confirm the rate on the platform's application page.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
Apply opens micro1's site, where you create an account and follow its sign-up steps.
Is a PhD required?
For this role, yes, or similar professional depth, and the assessment checks it. PhD candidates and people with published research have qualified without the degree.
