What this actually is
You bring your specialist expertise to AI evaluation. The shape of the work varies but the pattern is the same: review outputs, rate quality, write prompts, flag errors. The platform title (Photographer) 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.

Before you start

- 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.
