About this opportunity
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.
