The job description

micro1 is engaging Military Legal Advisors to contribute to a customer's project focused on evaluating and defining lawful/unlawful boundary cases within the defense and international law domains. 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 detailed boundary scenarios regarding lawful policy review and the constraints of military support.
Assess and validate the legal defensibility of taxonomy boundaries, ensuring accurate application of LOAC and international law.
Analyze and grade model responses for soundness of legal reasoning, clarity of limitations, and capacity to address legal uncertainty.
Identify and flag instances where the model unduly refuses to engage with legitimate policy or legal questions.
Contribute written and verbal feedback reflecting authoritative analysis and clear communication.
Collaborate with other subject-matter experts to ensure rigorous review and consensus on disputed cases.

Preferred Qualifications

Background as a Judge Advocate (JAG) or substantial experience in international humanitarian law and the law of armed conflict (LOAC).
Fluency in rules of engagement (ROE) and understanding of lawful boundaries in military and surveillance operations.
Experience advising on operational legal matters in real-world military or governmental contexts.
Proven ability to communicate complex legal concepts in both written and verbal formats.
Demonstrated skill in policy review, case differentiation, and legal uncertainty reasoning.
Teaching, consulting, or advisory experience in military-legal or international-law contexts.
Familiarity with AI governance, ethics, or prior work on AI-related legal frameworks (nice to have).
