Role Title: Commercial Contracts Attorney — M&A Diligence

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging Commercial Contracts Attorneys — M&A Diligence to contribute their legal acumen to an innovative customer project. 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.

Scope of Work

  1. Review and analyze complex commercial agreements and real-world M&A diligence scenarios to inform the design of advanced AI-assisted legal tools.

  2. Assess and annotate contractual provisions including change-of-control, assignment, termination, exclusivity, MFN, indemnification, and renewal terms.

  3. Differentiate and articulate material contract risks versus standard boilerplate, providing concise written rationales.

  4. Deliver structured, high-quality written feedback to enhance AI systems supporting transaction and deal professionals.

  5. Evaluate the severity of identified issues within the context of realistic M&A transactions.

  6. Apply practical judgment to commercial lease agreements and other relevant contract types as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

  1. 5+ years of experience in commercial contract drafting, negotiation, or diligence review at a law firm or in-house setting.

  2. Extensive background reviewing contracts in virtual data rooms during live M&A transactions (essential).

  3. Deep familiarity with provisions governing deal risk such as change-of-control, assignment, and termination mechanics.

  4. Experience conducting or managing diligence at a major firm or managed review context.

  5. Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex legal risk clearly and precisely.

  6. JD and active bar membership (or equivalent legal qualification in your jurisdiction).

  7. Exposure to SaaS/technology commercial agreements and contract analytics tools (preferred but not required).

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.
