What the work involves

You will act as a subject-matter grader and prompt author for frontier model training. A typical shift means picking up tasks from a queue and doing one of a few things: writing realistic corporate-law prompts that a competent associate or GC would actually receive, comparing two model responses and justifying which is better against a rubric, or line-editing a model's draft — a stock purchase agreement clause, a board consent, a Reg D analysis — and documenting every substantive error.

The hard part is not knowing the law; it is explaining why an answer is wrong with enough precision that a non-lawyer reviewer can verify your reasoning. Expect to cite authority, flag jurisdictional assumptions (Delaware vs. home-state, 1933 vs. 1934 Act), and separate genuine legal error from stylistic preference. Confidently wrong model output — plausible-sounding fiduciary duty analysis, invented safe harbors, misapplied fair-value standards — is the main thing you are hunting for.

What the platform screens for

micro1 runs an AI-led asynchronous interview before any human review. It probes bar admission and where you practiced, the actual matters you handled (deal sizes, your specific role, counterparty dynamics), and then pushes on a narrow doctrinal point to see whether your depth survives follow-up questions. Vague answers and secondhand experience get filtered out quickly. Screeners also test whether you can hold a rubric — several candidates fail not on legal knowledge but by grading on eloquence instead of accuracy.

Logistics

  • Fully remote, fully asynchronous; no fixed hours or standing calls
  • Most contributors commit 10–20 hours per week, with capacity fluctuating by project
  • Paid hourly as an independent contractor; observed band is $90–150/hr, weighted toward the top for M&A, securities, and fund formation depth
  • Engagements are project-scoped and can pause or expand with little notice — treat this as supplemental, not a practice replacement
  • Work is confidential and covered by NDA; you keep your own conflicts screening discipline
