About The Position

Our platform identifies and vets top talent through an AI recruiter, enabling high-quality expert contributions at scale. We aim to enable 1 billion people to do meaningful work by applying their expertise to AI. As our global expert network grows, micro1 is building the human intelligence layer for frontier AI. We work with human experts across a wide range of fields to build more reliable AI systems. Human expertise is at the center of everything we do, and we believe the best technology creates more opportunities for people to create, perform, and discover. In the first edition of microsessions, we're inviting local musicians to perform live in outdoor areas across San Francisco on August 6–7. We'll sponsor artists to play in some of the city's most iconic public spaces, introduce their music to new audiences, and professionally capture their performances as part of a project exploring the future of music education. We are creating this as something musicians enjoy being part of, and something San Francisco enjoys stumbling upon.
