About this Role
Job Summary
Join our customer's team as a Software Engineer specializing in AI Quality & Testing. In this impactful role, you'll leverage your TypeScript expertise to test, improve, and build AI-driven video generation products. This opportunity is perfect for detail-oriented engineers with a passion for quality and a strong portfolio of project work.
Key Responsibilities
Test and evaluate AI-powered web and mobile products, focusing on video generation tools. Write comprehensive test cases and clearly document bugs, edge cases, and product issues. Contribute code enhancements and fixes to TypeScript-based projects. Analyze user feedback from social channels to help drive product improvements. Collaborate with cross-functional teams across product, engineering, and operations workflows. Apply engineering rigor to quality processes, always seeking innovative ways to break and improve features. Maintain and expand an organized repository of test documentation and engineering insights.
Required Skills and Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent project-based experience. Proficiency in TypeScript, with experience shipping code in production environments. Mandatory portfolio of self-built projects, including personal or side projects. Demonstrated ability to read, navigate, and contribute to complex codebases. 1-3 years of experience in software engineering roles. Innate curiosity and detail orientation, with a passion for discovering how AI products break and can be improved. Prior hands-on exposure to AI tools or video generator platforms.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with testing frameworks such as Cypress, Playwright, or Jest. Background in QA processes, bug reporting, or user testing. Direct involvement with AI-driven video generator technologies.
Additional Info
To excel in this role, you must demonstrate a track record of building and shipping code, validated through a portfolio of work. We are seeking candidates with a creative, engineering-first mindset—pure manual QA testers or those lacking a technical portfolio will not be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the others?
Global Access. Micro1 is more open to international applicants (outside the US/UK) than DataAnnotation or Outlier.
What is the catch?
Privacy. Micro1 projects often require you to install time-tracking software that takes screenshots of your desktop while you work to ensure you are actually working. If you are uncomfortable with monitoring software, this might not be for you.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
What is the interview like?
You will likely be screened by "Zara", an AI recruiter. Treat this like a real video interview—speak clearly, ensure you have good lighting, and be ready to answer technical questions verbally, as the transcript is reviewed by human managers.
