Job TitleHuman Intelligence Collector - AI Trainer
Job TypeContractor (at least ~15 hs a week)
LocationRemote, US-based preferred The Role micro1 is engaging Human Intelligence Collectors to contribute their expertise in elicitation and investigative questioning on a specialized 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. This opportunity is ideal for those with a background in complex interviewing or intelligence collection, and a keen ability to interpret subtle verbal and behavioral cues. Your written and verbal communication skills will play a pivotal role as you document your reasoning and analysis for technical and non-specialist audiences alike. What You’ll Own Conduct or assess structured elicitation and interview sessions to extract accurate and relevant information from varied subjects. Establish rapport with participants to encourage open communication without applying pressure or coercion. Analyze responses in real-time, reading tone, pacing, and nonverbal cues, and dynamically adjusting questioning strategies. Assess the internal consistency, reliability, and potential evasiveness of responses, providing confidence assessments for each interaction. Identify and annotate emotional and motivational drivers influencing participants' responses. Document your analytical reasoning in a clear, traceable manner to support downstream review and learning. Score or annotate sessions according to a detailed rubric, maintaining objectivity and consistency across multiple cases. What We’re Looking For 3–5+ years of experience in professional interviewing, intelligence elicitation, or investigative questioning (e.g., military HUMINT, law-enforcement interviewing, skilled negotiation). Training in recognized interviewing methodologies such as the PEACE model, cognitive interviewing, or similar frameworks. Expertise in real-time interpretation of paralinguistic and nonverbal cues (tone, pacing, hesitation, gestures). Demonstrated ability to clearly justify analytical reads in writing, not just by intuition. Exceptional written English skills with a focus on clarity, precision, and defensibility. Experience working with diverse populations or through interpreters. Familiarity with data annotation, AI model evaluation, or after-action/assessment report writing. Compensation The compensation for this contractor role is based on approved work completed and accepted through the project’s quality review process. Specific payment rates and terms will be provided during the onboarding process. micro1 is an equal opportunity employer.
