Job Description

Role Title: At-Home Video Recorder

Location: Remote - based in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Job Summary: 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.

Key Responsibilities:

Capture household tasks using your smartphone during specified physical tasks.
Supported devices include the iPhone 12 and later, Google Pixel 6 and later, and Samsung Galaxy S21 and later.
Record synchronized video footage to validate and enhance the integrity of collected sensor data.
Follow detailed technical protocols to ensure all submissions meet strict quality, labeling, and determinism standards.
Consistently contribute a minimum of 10 hours of approved video data per week throughout the project duration.
Communicate effectively with the team to clarify guidelines and provide feedback on data collection processes.
Ensure timely and reliable delivery of data outputs in accordance with project milestones.
Participate in required device compatibility checks and a custom AI-enabled interview process.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

Access to a head strap to be able to record both hands within 48 hours of the start date.
Demonstrated adherence to standardized protocols and rigorous technical instructions.
Proven ability to manage and deliver reliable output in a fast-paced, data-driven environment.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to document work and collaborate remotely.
Experience with mobile devices and a high level of digital literacy.
Physical capability to perform repetitive movement tasks safely and accurately.
Access to a compatible smartphone for high-fidelity sensor and video data collection.
Eligibility to work in designated U.S. states.
Note: Applications submitted with a Gmail address are strongly preferred for seamless tool integration.

Compensation Structure:

Compensation is output-based; experts are paid per recorded video that meets the project specifications. The time required to complete work may vary depending on the expert’s experience and workflow.

Start Timeline & Availability:

We typically fill roles within 48 hours, so we’re looking for teammates who are ready to jump in. If selected, we’d love for you to start your first task as soon as you move forward with your application. The expectation is to begin within ~24 hours of completing onboarding.

Equipment Requirements

Mobile:

Tasks for this project must be performed from a mobile device (smartphone). Experts will record their workflow directly from the mobile device while completing tasks.

Head Strap / Wearable: Tasks for this project must be performed using a head-mounted camera (head strap setup). Experts will record first-person video of physical tasks. The required head strap and any accompanying equipment specifications will be shared during onboarding.

About Micro1

Micro1 is building the essential infrastructure for the next generation of artificial intelligence, moving beyond the limitations of static datasets to create a dynamic ecosystem where models truly learn to think and act. At its core, the company understands that the path to frontier intelligence isn't paved with synthetic data alone; it requires the nuance, judgment, and contextual awareness that only expert human guidance can provide. By positioning itself at the intersection of human expertise and advanced reinforcement learning, Micro1 is tackling the hardest problem in AI today: teaching models not just to answer questions, but to reason through complexity and take meaningful actions in unpredictable, real-world environments.

This mission comes to life through Realm, Micro1's flagship training environment. Realm functions as a high-fidelity simulation ground where AI agents are immersed in scenarios that closely mirror the messiness of actual human workflows. Rather than relying on abstract benchmarks, Realm forces models to engage in agentic actions, multi-step decisions, digital navigation, coding, and problem-solving that require genuine comprehension. It is within these realistic sandboxes that world-class human data is generated, creating a continuous feedback loop where expert annotators observe, correct, and guide model behavior. This process does more than just fine-tune outputs; it fundamentally elevates a model's underlying reasoning architecture, ensuring that the intelligence developed in training holds up when deployed into the wild.

But training is only half the equation. Micro1 recognizes that the true test of an AI system lies in its production performance, which is where Cortex enters the picture. Cortex is a contextual evaluation platform designed to move beyond superficial accuracy metrics and provide a granular, real-time view of how agents behave in live settings. It doesn't just flag errors; it surfaces the underlying context behind failures, revealing why an agent struggled with a particular user intent or environmental variable. This insight is invaluable for engineering teams, as it transforms evaluation from a passive checkpoint into an active improvement tool. With Cortex, companies can catch degradation early, understand the nuances of edge cases, and feed those learnings directly back into Realm for retraining, creating a virtuous cycle of continuous advancement.

Ultimately, Micro1 is not merely a data lab or an evaluation tool it is a comprehensive intelligence engine that connects the entire lifecycle of model development. From the expert human feedback that sharpens raw capability, to the realistic RL environments that forge robust agentic behavior, to the contextual oversight that ensures reliability in production, Micro1 provides the integrated foundation that AI labs and enterprises desperately need. As the industry races toward truly autonomous systems, Micro1 stands as the critical bridge between laboratory breakthroughs and dependable, real-world impact, ensuring that frontier models do not just perform well on paper, but deliver genuine value in the complex, dynamic world they are meant to serve.
