Drawing on your direct experience assisting federal student loan borrowers, you will bring essential insights into critical servicing topics, including repayment plans, PSLF payment counts, deferment, forbearance, and delinquency management.
Scope of Work

- Develop clear, detailed rubrics that define correct and complete responses to complex borrower inquiries.
- Evaluate AI-generated answers for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with current federal policies, including recent changes to repayment plans.
- Document errors, omissions, and outdated guidance found in AI responses, providing actionable, precise written feedback.
- Leverage working knowledge of servicing challenges such as payment count irregularities, misapplied payments, and servicer transfers to identify nuanced issues.
- Contribute asynchronously, delivering high-quality written assessments and feedback to improve AI system performance.
Preferred Qualifications
- 1+ year of professional experience at a federal student loan servicer or contractor supporting borrowers, including borrower support, default management, collections, or escalations.
- Extensive, current knowledge of federal loan types, repayment plans (including income-driven repayment), PSLF, deferment, forbearance, delinquency, default, rehabilitation, and loan consolidation.
- Direct experience resolving servicing problems such as misapplied payments, errors in payment counts, and issues arising from transfers between servicers.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate complex concepts with clarity and precision in both written and verbal formats.
- Familiarity with recent updates and evolving rules in the federal student loan landscape.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy in reviewing borrower cases and AI outputs.
- Experience with FAFSA or financial aid award packaging alone is not sufficient for this opportunity.
- US-based.

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 Generalist work look like for a Student Loan Servicing Specialist?
You check AI answers to Generalist questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a Student Loan Servicing Specialist, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Generalist experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Federal loan types, Repayment plans and current rules, PSLF payment counts, and Deferment and forbearance 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: 10 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 $30-50/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.
Can I apply from outside the United States?
This role is open only to people based in the United States. The limit is usually about where the platform can legally hire, so applying from elsewhere rarely leads to an offer. Check the description for tax or right-to-work rules before you apply.
