- Design and define comprehensive red-teaming workflows and adversarial scenarios targeting SaaS and cloud-based environments.
- Conduct hands-on penetration testing and adversarial threat modeling across platforms such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, and Snowflake.
- Act as a senior reviewer, critically evaluating the quality and depth of red-teaming exercises and deliverables.
- Identify and document potential vectors for misuse or manipulation of AI agents, including prompt injection, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and destructive actions.
- Contribute practical insights for developing and vetting security controls, policies, and detection strategies relevant to real-world SaaS environments.
- Collaborate with other cybersecurity professionals, providing detailed written and verbal feedback on findings and improvements.
- Support benchmarking initiatives by creating adversarial scenarios that reflect contemporary threats and attack methodologies. Preferred Qualifications
- Extensive hands-on experience in security domains such as red teaming, penetration testing, application/cloud security, or security engineering.
- Deep understanding of enterprise SaaS security concepts including identity, RBAC/permissions, and data governance.
- Direct familiarity with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, and Snowflake from a security evaluation perspective.
- Demonstrated ability to think adversarially about how AI and SaaS platforms could be exploited or compromised.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, enabling clear articulation of complex security issues and recommended remediations.
- Proven track record of practical, real-world impact in security projects—beyond simply listing experience on a resume.

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 InfoSec Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a InfoSec Expert, 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, 10 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
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.
