AI Software Engineering Domain Expert is contract work for micro1, reviewing and correcting what AI models produce in business operations. The output of the job is expert judgement written down: a model gives an answer, someone who knows the subject decides whether it is right and explains why.
What it requires. This role is gated on phd or academic credential. Applications without it are not considered, and the requirement is stated here because the original advert usually carries it well below the rate.
What it pays. USD 100 to USD 200 an hour, as published by micro1. Rates in this category track how rare the credential is rather than how hard the work is.

No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Scope of Work Analyze, review, and enhance AI-generated technical content, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and alignment with best practices in software engineering. Create, refine, and evaluate prompts and instructions designed to guide AI models in producing high-quality technical deliverables. Conduct rubric-based assessments of AI model outputs, providing detailed feedback on quality, correctness, and completeness. Draft and edit technical documentation, architecture plans, RFCs, design specifications, and engineering proposals for use in AI training. Perform independent research and fact-checking to validate technical assertions and ensure data-driven accuracy in content. Interpret and annotate data, leveraging software engineering expertise to support nuanced evaluation and labeling tasks. Collaborate asynchronously with project leads and other experts to meet deliverable requirements within established guidelines. Preferred Qualifications 3+ years of professional experience in software engineering roles such as Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Staff Engineer, Technical Lead, Engineering Manager, or Solutions Architect. Track record of authoring or reviewing technical artifacts, including documentation, architecture documents, design specifications, RFCs, engineering proposals, postmortems, technical blogs, or code reviews. Exceptional critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and logical problem-solving skills. Demonstrated attention to detail and commitment to quality assurance in technical outputs. Strong written communication abilities, with experience in professional or technical writing and editing.
