About this opportunity
Overview
micro1 is hiring STEM and scientific-domain experts for an AI training project focused on technical problem-solving, scientific reasoning, data analysis, and Python. The work is fully remote and global, with flexible scheduling. This is a contractor role of about 15 hours per week.
Selected experts will solve, review, and validate challenging problems in their area of expertise, including checking AI-generated work for technical correctness. The role is coding-heavy, and candidates should be comfortable using coding agents in their workflow.
What You’ll Work On
- Solve complex scientific, mathematical, or technical problems within your domain.
- Review AI-generated solutions for factual, mathematical, and scientific accuracy.
- Identify incorrect assumptions, reasoning mistakes, missing constraints, and subtle technical errors.
- Use Python for calculations, simulations, and other technical analysis as needed.
Requirements
- Strong expertise in at least one relevant STEM or scientific area such as chemistry, biology, mathematics, physics, earth science / geoscience / environmental science, or robotics.
- Practical proficiency with Python or another coding language.
- Strong scientific, mathematical, or quantitative problem-solving ability.
- Comfort working in a coding-heavy workflow and using coding agents.
- Relevant Python tools may include NumPy, SciPy, pandas, SymPy, Jupyter, or domain-specific scientific libraries, though no specific library is mandatory.
- Expertise may come from academic research, industry, teaching, engineering, independent technical work, or other demonstrated experience.
- A specific degree or years of experience is not strictly required if you can demonstrate strong expertise.
Process
- Apply to the role and complete the screening questions.
- Complete an AI interview of approximately 30 minutes.
- Complete the hiring manager review.
