About this role
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
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.
