About micro1
micro1 is a data lab that helps AI labs & Enterprises train foundational models and agents. We provide frontier evaluations and reinforcement learning environments to improve LLM capabilities, as well as contextual evaluations to monitor and improve AI agents in enterprise settings.

Our AI recruiting agent sources and vets domain experts for our data platform that enables rapid production of high-quality training data. Our research spans high-value, specialized domains (legal, medical, finance, coding, etc.), where expert-level data is the hardest to produce and most valuable for advanced model performance. Our pipeline performance system ensures both quality and velocity.

Role Title: Applied Scientist

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging Applied Scientists to contribute to a customer's data-driven project, focusing on advanced analytics and experimentation. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required; your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is part of an open Data Scientist project, with a strong emphasis on clear written and verbal communication.

Scope of Work

Design and execute statistical analyses to uncover actionable insights from complex datasets.
Develop and validate machine learning models for various business or research objectives.
Apply data modeling techniques and manage large-scale data transformations using Python and Pandas.
Collaborate with stakeholders to define experimentation frameworks and analyze outcomes.
Document methodology, findings, and recommendations with a focus on clarity and precision.
Review peer contributions and provide high-quality feedback to support knowledge sharing.
Deliver reproducible code and well-organized analytical reports as part of the project deliverables.
Evaluate AI model outputs on statistics, machine learning, experimentation, and quantitative problems.
Create expert-level prompts, datasets, and reference solutions.
Identify flawed methodology, statistical errors, and weak quantitative reasoning.
Provide clear, structured feedback that improves model capability.
