micro1 is hiring a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) to work on frontier AI, focusing on improving model and system performance through rigorous evaluation, failure analysis, and iterative development.
Company: micro1
Role: Member of Technical Staff, Frontier AI
Location: Remote
Experience:
- Experience designing ML-oriented datasets, evaluation frameworks, and QA processes
- Proven ability to work directly with experts during project kickoff, calibration, and iteration
- Experience with reinforcement learning environments, simulators, or feedback-driven training systems
- Experience improving agentic systems or AI systems operating in real-world workflows
- Prior work embedded in applied research or production environments with direct impact on deployed systems
Key Skills:
- Research Signal Judgment
- ML-Oriented Data Design
- Ops-to-Research Translation
- RL Environments
Role Focus:
• Own research and evaluation initiatives end-to-end: problem framing, data design, quality calibration, and signal validation
• Design ML-oriented data systems, including task definitions, annotation schemas, rubrics, incentives, and pipelines optimized for downstream model performance
• Analyze model and system failures to identify root causes, edge cases, and opportunities for improvement
• Translate ambiguous, real-world behavior into structured evaluation frameworks and new data categories
• Work closely with researchers and domain experts to calibrate quality early and continuously raise the signal bar
• Iterate rapidly on evaluations, datasets, and feedback loops to improve system performance
• Act as a quality gate: block claims, pause work, or force scope changes when signal strength or data integrity is insufficient
• Partner with cross-functional and client-facing teams to translate research progress into clear, credible narratives grounded in evidence
Nice to have:
- Experience with reinforcement learning environments, simulators, or feedback-driven training systems
- Experience improving agentic systems or AI systems operating in real-world workflows
- Prior work embedded in applied research or production environments with direct impact on deployed systems
- Experience with evaluation design for complex or real-world tasks
- Familiarity with expert incentive design and engagement in high-stakes technical projects
Other:
- The national pay range for this full-time position is base salary of $180,000 –$320,000
- All employees are eligible for equity compensation, and employees may also receive performance-based bonuses
