Common questions
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.
Can I apply to micro1 from outside the US or UK?
Yes. micro1 accepts applicants from most countries. Most roles need strong written and spoken English.
Is AI training work the same as traditional consulting?
It's closer to teaching. You grade the AI's logic, correct its mistakes and write the expert reasoning it lacks, instead of producing work for a client.
Why do expert AI training roles pay well?
The model already knows the basics. It needs help with hard edge cases, the judgment calls a senior professional in the field gets right.

You check AI answers to Legal questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a Federal Regulatory Policy Analyst, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Legal experience matters.

federal rulemaking process, regulatory analysis, public comment analysis, and legal writing are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening to test for them.
