About this role
From the micro1 listing
Role Title: Frontend / UI Engineer Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote
Opportunity Snapshot
Pay: $80–100/hour equivalent (approximately $640–800 per task) Time per task: ~8 hours Engagement: Project-based — paid per approved task Location: Fully remote You’ll need: A public GitHub profile with substantial, verifiable contributions Your tasks: Turn screenshots, diagrams and videos into challenging coding tasks with objective success criteria
What you’ll do
- Design multi-step coding tasks grounded in visual material: screenshots, UI mockups, diagrams, or screen recordings of real workflows.
- Specify which code and artifacts the task involves, and what the expected behavior is.
- Define objective success criteria — how someone would verify the task was completed correctly, not just plausibly.
- Provide a working reference implementation.
- Review tasks built by other contributors for technical accuracy and verifiability.
- Flag tasks that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.
What we’re looking for
- A public GitHub profile with substantial, verifiable contributions — commits, merged PRs, or repositories you maintain. This is essential.
- Strong frontend engineering: React, TypeScript, or similar, with experience shipping complex interfaces and interactions.
- Able to read, modify, debug and validate real application code.
- Experience with UI, graphics, SVG, or Canvas work is especially valuable.
- Product or UI designers with hands-on frontend implementation and public code contributions are also a fit.
- Strong written English, and the ability to explain expected behavior and reproducible verification steps.
- Prior data labeling, AI evaluation, or rubric-based review experience is a plus, not a requirement.
How the selection process works
- Apply and complete the screening questions
- Complete the AI interview for this role — it’s how your expertise gets in front of the client

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 research-level AI training the same as data labeling?
It's closer to academic research. You write or check proofs, solve advanced problems and test the logic behind a model's step-by-step reasoning in your field.
Do I need a PhD for research-level AI training roles?
The best-paid roles usually expect a PhD or current enrollment. The domain assessment decides, though, and if you can solve the problems the degree matters less.
What does STEM work look like for a Frontend / UI Engineer?
You check AI answers to STEM questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a Frontend / UI Engineer, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on STEM experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
React, Typescript, FrontEnd, and UI Design 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: 50 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 $80-100/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.
