Role Title: AI Trainer Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is selecting expert AI Trainers to participate in a customer-facing project focused on advancing AI capabilities. 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. This opportunity centers on annotating short video clips to create precise, valuable datasets for AI training. The ideal contributor is detail-oriented, consistent, and adept at understanding and following instructions in English. Comfort with repetitive tasks and commitment to accuracy are essential. Previous experience with data annotation, content moderation, or quality assurance is advantageous but not mandatory.
Scope of Work
- Review and annotate short video clips based on project-specific guidelines and objectives.
- Apply prompt engineering strategies to ensure high-quality training data for AI models.
- Utilize advanced timestamping to accurately mark relevant events or frames within video content.
- Maintain consistency and attention to detail across large volumes of video-based tasks.
- Collaborate remotely with fellow contributors and project coordinators to clarify requirements and resolve ambiguities.
- Conduct self-driven quality assurance checks to verify the accuracy and completeness of submitted annotations.
- Adhere to established processes for timely and reliable submission of deliverables.
Preferred Qualifications
- Proficiency in English, including the ability to comprehend and execute complex written instructions.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality, consistent results.
- Familiarity with video annotation tools or similar data labeling technologies.
- Demonstrated ability to manage time effectively across repetitive or high-volume tasks.
- Experience in AI training, content moderation, or quality assurance is beneficial.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in remote collaboration environments.
- Comfortable adapting to evolving project priorities and embracing feedback for continuous improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply to Micro1 from outside the US or UK?
Yes. Micro1 accepts applicants from most countries worldwide, unlike DataAnnotation or Outlier, both of which cap access to a handful of English-speaking countries. Most roles still require strong written and spoken English.
Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.
What does the Micro1 application process look like?
Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.
What does task-based AI training work actually look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Generalist work look like for a AI Trainer?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a AI Trainer, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 100 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
Do I need to be fluent in English?
Yes. This role specifically requires English proficiency. You will likely be evaluated on written fluency during the assessment, not just conversational level. If English is not your first language or you are not professionally fluent, this is not the right role. Filter for your native language to find better-matched listings.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Micro1's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
