rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Generalist

Review long Mandarin and English chat transcripts, compare model responses, and provide structured annotations on language, logic, and correctness. The work also includes assessing basic programming content and documenting the reasoning behind evaluation decisions.

The work

You will read long, multi-turn conversations and compare two extended responses side by side. Day-to-day tasks include assigning accurate labels, checking Mandarin and English language use, evaluating logic and clarity, reviewing basic programming content, and writing notes that explain why one response is stronger or where a response fails.

What micro1 screens for

The screening is likely to test whether you can support judgments with precise evidence from a transcript rather than relying on general impressions. Expect follow-up on Mandarin usage, written English, response-comparison criteria, annotation consistency, and your ability to interpret simple code or programming discussions in Mandarin. No prior AI experience is required. The preferred qualifications specify fluency in both written and spoken Mandarin and native or near-native proficiency in written English.

Practical details

This is a remote contractor role involving collaboration with project leads and other contributors through written and verbal channels. The listing does not specify whether work is fully asynchronous, a typical weekly commitment, project duration, or required working hours, so candidates should confirm these points during onboarding.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your claimed bilingual proficiency is supported by concrete settings, responsibilities, and recent examples in both languages.
A strong answer: Give specific examples of reading, writing, and speaking Mandarin, then explain how you have used written English to produce precise analysis or documentation. Distinguish native exposure, formal study, and professional use rather than combining them into a broad fluency claim.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by saying only that they are bilingual without identifying what they wrote, reviewed, translated, or evaluated in each language.
