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 (NSA / Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Expert) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

- 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
