Job Description
Job Title: Cocos2d-x Junior Game Developer
Job Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
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:
Develop and refine game logic, mechanics, and features using Cocos2d-x for prototype and production-level projects.
Collaborate closely with the customer's team to provide high-quality real-world input for AI training processes.
Create, modify, and troubleshoot game assets and scenes to support a diverse set of training objectives.
Test, debug, and optimize Cocos2d-x code to ensure robust and efficient gameplay experiences.
Document code and processes thoroughly, ensuring clarity for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Engage in open, clear written and verbal communication to report project status and challenges.
Work iteratively in response to feedback, consistently improving deliverables for AI development needs.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
Solid knowledge of Cocos2d-x and hands-on experience with 2D game development workflows.
Strong problem solving and troubleshooting abilities in a game development context.
Experience collaborating remotely with distributed teams in a fast-paced environment.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a focus on clear, concise updates and documentation.
Ability to follow technical specifications and adapt to evolving project requirements.
Understanding of game design principles and player experience optimization.
Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and eager to grow within a dynamic AI training environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience working on projects for AI training or data generation purposes.
Familiarity with additional game engines or programming languages.
Background in collaborating with AI or machine learning specialists.
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.
