rate as listed

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

Apply civilian intelligence experience to evaluating, editing, and creating realistic materials used to train AI systems. The remote contractor work covers intelligence analysis, collection methods, operational narratives, anomaly detection, and security-aware communications.

The work

You would analyze intelligence-style data, assess AI-generated content, and create or refine scenarios that reflect civilian intelligence missions. Assignments may include identifying trends and anomalies, reviewing operational narratives, drafting concise communications, and explaining where model outputs misuse intelligence methods or overstate conclusions.

What the screening is likely to cover

micro1 is particularly interested in current or former professionals from civilian intelligence agencies, including the CIA, NSA, MI6/SIS, GCHQ, or an equivalent national intelligence organization. Expect questions about intelligence-gathering methodologies, threat analysis, operational planning, and disciplines such as HUMINT, SIGINT, and OSINT. Strong responses will use specific but non-sensitive examples, distinguish evidence from inference, and show how you would evaluate realism, analytical rigor, and security awareness in AI training material.

Logistics

This is a remote contractor engagement with asynchronous collaboration and written or verbal feedback to project stakeholders.

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 background involved firsthand intelligence operations, collection, analysis, or decision support rather than adjacent policy, military, or security work presented as equivalent experience.
A strong answer: Give agency or organization type, role level, dates or duration, intelligence function, and the outputs or decisions you supported. Keep operational details appropriately sanitized while making your personal responsibilities verifiable and distinct from those of your wider team.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming prestigious organizations without clarifying their own function, or by disclosing sensitive operational facts in an attempt to prove credibility.
