Role Title: Journalist/Writer

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging Journalist/Writers to participate in a project evaluating advanced AI-generated writing. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

  • Assess multiple AI-generated responses to writing prompts, comparing their clarity, tone, helpfulness, and fidelity to the given instructions.
  • Assign analytical quality scores to each response and provide concise, well-reasoned written rationales explaining your decisions.
  • Identify writing that reads persuasively but contains inaccuracies, lacks support, or deviates from the intended brief.
  • Detect factual errors, logical inconsistencies, and issues of internal coherence in written content.
  • Document your evaluations thoroughly using digital content review platforms and project-provided tools.
  • Collaborate asynchronously with project managers and reviewers to maintain evaluation standards and consistency.
  • Work independently to deliver assigned evaluations within project timelines.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Native or near-native written fluency in English, with a university degree completed at an institution in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand.
  • Professional background as a journalist, reporter, editor, copy editor, sub-editor, fact-checker, ghostwriter, or published author.
  • Proven expertise in technical writing, content evaluation, critical analysis, and written communication.
  • Demonstrated experience editing or fact-checking others’ work against a style guide or editorial standards.
  • Keen attention to detail and strong ability to judge writing for accuracy, clarity, and audience suitability.
  • Comfort working independently and delivering high-quality assessments remotely.
  • Experience with annotation, AI model evaluation, or digital content review platforms is a plus but not mandatory.
Applying via micro1: micro1 screens with an AI interview ("Zara") and pays weekly once placed. Free to apply; most roles are long-running contracts.
