The job description

micro1 is engaging Federal Regulatory Policy Analysts to participate in a project supporting a federal government customer. 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

Develop realistic, scenario-based regulatory assignments based on federal rulemaking processes.
Review and provide detailed feedback on other contributors’ submissions to ensure accuracy and adherence to real-world policy standards.
Summarize public comments received on proposed federal regulations and categorize them by theme and substance.
Draft clear, well-justified agency response text to substantive public comments, reflecting best practices in regulatory policymaking.
Recommend the adoption or rejection of public proposals using evidence-based reasoning and reference to applicable regulations.
Ensure all project deliverables authentically represent federal regulatory drafting, comment review, and response-to-comment workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

Current or former experience as a federal regulatory analyst, policy specialist, or attorney-advisor (e.g., OPM GS-0301, GS-0905, or equivalent).
Thorough understanding of federal rulemaking, including drafting and public comment analysis.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with meticulous attention to regulatory detail.
Hands-on experience drafting notices, proposed and final rules, or agency responses to petitions and public input.
Familiarity with the Federal Register, regulations.gov, or OMB regulatory review processes.
Background in legal analysis, administrative law, or regulatory compliance (law degree a plus but not required).
US-based professional with demonstrable expertise in federal regulatory policy development.
