Military Legal Advisor

Pay: $70 - $120/hour

Role Title: Military Legal Advisor

Role Type: Contractor

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).
