The work

Geopolitical Risk Advisors support AI training and evaluation projects by developing realistic, unclassified scenarios and reviewing content about geopolitical developments, international security, and foreign policy. Day-to-day tasks may include checking factual accuracy, testing strategic reasoning, identifying overlooked risks, and explaining why a recommendation is or is not supported by the available evidence.

What the screen assesses

micro1 uses an AI interview during the application process. Candidates should be ready to describe specific geopolitical or security assessments they have produced, defend analytical judgments under follow-up, distinguish evidence from assumptions, and explain how they communicate uncertainty. Relevant professional backgrounds may include foreign policy, national security strategy, international security, geopolitical risk analysis, or related institutional and advisory work.

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 you have owned a real analytical deliverable, understood its decision context, and connected geopolitical evidence to a usable recommendation.
A strong answer: Anchor the answer in a specific assessment, naming the audience, question, evidence base, analytical method, and resulting recommendation. Clarify your personal contribution without exposing classified or client-sensitive information.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by summarizing a geopolitical event without identifying what they assessed, what decision was at stake, or what they personally delivered.
