About this role
From the Micro1 listing
Role Title: UX/UI Designer
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote -Northern America, Latin America, Europe, UK, Oceania. micro1 is engaging UX/UI Designers to participate in a dynamic project focused on video annotation for advanced robotic arm tasks. 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. As a contributor, you will assess and annotate videos of robotic arms completing various procedures, ensuring each session is accurately graded according to established guidelines. This opportunity is ideal for detail-oriented professionals interested in the intersection of UX/UI, video analysis, and AI training. Scope of Work
- Review video footage of robotic arms completing specific tasks and annotate sessions as instructed.
- Apply detailed, accurate tags and grading based on provided guidelines and project requirements.
- Utilize video annotation tools to mark key actions, behaviors, and outcomes within each session.
- Document observations and rationales clearly and concisely for each annotated task.
- Collaborate with project trainers and fellow contributors to ensure consistency and quality across annotations.
- Provide feedback to enhance labeling guidelines and annotation processes as the project evolves.
- Meet project deliverables by organizing and submitting completed annotations within requested timeframes. Preferred Qualifications
- Background in UX/UI design, web design, video/music editing, photography, filmmaking, audiovisual production, robotics, or engineering (mechanical/electronics).
- Proven experience with video annotation or data labeling, ideally for AI training or machine learning purposes.
- Exceptional attention to detail, with a track record of producing high-quality, precise work.
- Strong written communication skills for clear documentation and collaboration.
- Familiarity with video annotation tools and digital content review workflows.
- Experience in collaborative project environments and comfort working with remote teams.
- Interest in robotics, advanced technologies, or AI-driven projects is a strong plus.
Requirements
- video annotation
- data labeling
- attention to detail
- written communication

How long hiring takes
Across the AI training platforms we refer candidates to, the median gap between referral and hire is about 30 days. It varies by platform and role, so treat it as a rough guide for this one.
Interview Prep
Sample questions for a UI/UX Designer role, written in-house to help you prepare.
How do you decide what user research method to use, like interviews versus surveys versus usability testing, for a given design question?
The method depends on what kind of question I'm answering. Interviews surface the why behind behavior and are good early, when I'm still forming hypotheses. Surveys validate how common a pattern is across a larger sample once I already have a hypothesis. Usability testing answers whether a specific design solution actually works, which needs a working prototype rather than abstract questions.
How do you decide how much fidelity a prototype needs to be before testing it with users?
Low-fidelity wireframes are enough for testing information architecture and flow, since users can evaluate structure without visual polish distracting them. Higher fidelity becomes necessary once I'm testing something visual details actually affect, like whether a specific button reads as clickable, since a rough sketch won't answer that question reliably.
How do you balance visual design consistency with a design system against the need for a specific screen to solve a unique problem?
I default to the design system's existing components and patterns, since consistency reduces cognitive load for users across the product. I only deviate when a genuine, well-justified need exists that the system doesn't already solve, and when I do deviate, I feed that pattern back into the system rather than leaving it as a one-off exception nobody else can reuse.
How do you interpret conflicting signals between what users say they want in an interview and what usability testing shows they actually do?
I weight behavioral data from usability testing more heavily than stated preference from interviews, since users are often inaccurate predictors of their own future behavior. Interviews are still valuable for understanding motivation and context, but when there's a direct conflict between stated preference and observed behavior, the behavior is the more reliable signal for the actual design decision.

Why this role
The UX/UI Designer role at micro1 pays $25-$40 per task for designers who work in Figma and apply Adobe Analytics insight to design decisions. The project sits at the intersection of design and emerging technology. This role suits designers already comfortable pairing analytics data with design judgment rather than visual design alone.

Common questions
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 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 Design work look like for an UX/UI Designer?
Tasks here are scoped to Design, not generic labeling. As an UX/UI Designer, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Design) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Design background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
video annotation, data labeling, attention to detail, and written communication are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
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, 300 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $50–$90/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
Do I need to be fluent in Latin America?
Yes. This role specifically requires Latin America proficiency, on top of the English most AI training work assumes by default. If Latin America is not a language you're fluent in, 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.
Do I need a Master's to qualify?
This role lists a master's degree as a requirement. In practice, the domain assessment is the real gate. If you can pass it, the degree is usually secondary. However, some platforms verify credentials formally, so list your actual qualifications accurately on your profile.
Can I apply from outside the United Kingdom?
This specific role is open only to people based in the United Kingdom. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply.
Is there an interview?
Yes. Complete AI interview (aprox. 30 minutes)
