micro1 is engaging Operational Law Attorney (JAG) subject matter experts to contribute to a high-impact customer project addressing the legal boundaries of military activities and surveillance/privacy evaluations. 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
Author and categorize boundary cases focusing on the application of the law of armed conflict (LOAC), including distinction, proportionality, and precautions in attack.
Render operational legal judgments on ambiguous scenarios, defending and documenting your reasoning in detail.
Validate and refine the legal framework underpinning the project's taxonomy to ensure its robustness under scrutiny.
Assess AI-generated responses for depth of reasoning, treatment of genuine legal uncertainty, and clarity of limitations.
Identify and flag both excessive caution as well as insufficient legal rigor in the model’s handling of complex military-legal questions.
Maintain comprehensive documentation of edge cases and the legal authorities supporting each conclusion.
Preferred qualifications
JAG or equivalent background with direct operational law experience advising commanders on LOAC, rules of engagement (ROE), targeting, or detention.
Demonstrated, hands-on application of distinction, proportionality, and precautions in real-world operations.
Expertise with Geneva Conventions, Additional Protocols, customary international humanitarian law, and relevant ROE frameworks.
Service at a command, combatant command legal office, or targeting cell (US or allied forces).
Experience leading reviews, teaching, or providing legal advisory services in operational contexts.
Exceptional legal writing and analytical skills with a focus on written and verbal clarity.
Exposure to intelligence law, cyber law, or the interplay between IHL and international human rights law is a plus.
Prior experience in AI evaluation, wargaming, or governance initiatives is considered an asset.
