What this actually is
You review AI-generated code, rank model outputs against each other, write prompts that test edge cases, and provide expert feedback that gets used to train coding models. Not shipping production software. The platform title (Frontend / UI Engineer) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.
How micro1 picks people
- Apply to the role, then do an interview with micro1's AI recruiter. It takes 20 to 40 minutes.
- Some roles add a short skills test after the interview.
- If you pass, micro1 asks you to finish your profile and verify your ID. You then join its certified pool and can apply to its other open roles.
Before you start
- Plan for 40 minutes in a quiet place.
- Have your CV and two or three examples of your own work in this field ready to talk about.
Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
Opportunity Snapshot
Pay: $80-100/hour equivalent (approximately $640-800 per task)
Time per task: ~8 hours
Engagement: Project-based - paid per approved task
Location: Fully remote
You’ll need: A public GitHub profile with substantial, verifiable contributions
Your tasks: Turn screenshots, diagrams and videos into challenging coding tasks with objective success criteria
What you’ll do
• Design multi-step coding tasks grounded in visual material: screenshots, UI mockups, diagrams, or screen recordings of real workflows.
• Specify which code and artifacts the task involves, and what the expected behavior is.
• Define objective success criteria - how someone would verify the task was completed correctly, not just plausibly.
• Provide a working reference implementation.
• Review tasks built by other contributors for technical accuracy and verifiability.
• Flag tasks that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.
What we’re looking for
• A public GitHub profile with substantial, verifiable contributions - commits, merged PRs, or repositories you maintain. This is essential.
• Strong frontend engineering: React, TypeScript, or similar, with experience shipping complex interfaces and interactions.
• Able to read, modify, debug and validate real application code.
• Experience with UI, graphics, SVG, or Canvas work is especially valuable.
• Product or UI designers with hands-on frontend implementation and public code contributions are also a fit.
• Strong written English, and the ability to explain expected behavior and reproducible verification steps.
• Prior data labeling, AI evaluation, or rubric-based review experience is a plus, not a requirement.
How the selection process works
• Apply and complete the screening questions
• Complete the AI interview for this role - it’s how your expertise gets in front of the client
• Profile review
• Onboarding - our Talent Ops team will get you set up
