SimpleReferral
A friend passed me a micro1 referral link instead of a job posting, and that’s really all it is: a feed of paid freelance roles where you help train and evaluate AI models. The work covers everything from technical writing and software engineering to CAD design and financial research, and most roles pay roughly $30 to $150 an hour depending on the role and your background.
I’m not on their payroll and I don’t control which roles are open or what they pay — I’m just sharing the list because a few of the roles looked like solid flexible work for the right skill set. If you’re curious, click through and see what’s currently open.

What Stood Out to Me
A few things worth knowing before you apply.
Wide Range of Skills Needed
Roles span technical writing, software engineering, CAD design, financial research, and general AI evaluation — not just one narrow specialty.
Flexible, Contract-Based Work
These are freelance/contractor roles, not full-time employment — useful if you want flexible hours around other commitments.
New Roles Post Constantly
The list of openings refreshes regularly, so it's worth checking back if nothing matches your skills today.
Questions Before You Apply
Things worth knowing about how this actually works.
It's a job-referral link, not a discount code or sign-up bonus. Clicking through takes you to a list of paid freelance roles at micro1 — there's no purchase or account fee involved for applicants.
See Open RolesNo. These roles are freelance/independent contractor positions. You're responsible for your own taxes and business status, and terms are set directly between you and micro1 — not through SimpleReferral.
See Open RolesEligibility varies by role — some listings are open globally, others may have location or citizenship requirements. Check the specific job posting on the application page before applying.
See Open RolesPay ranges are shown on each role and set entirely by micro1 — recent listings I've seen range from roughly $6 to $150 an hour depending on the role, required skill level, and demand.
See Open RolesI haven't seen a confirmed referrer bonus advertised publicly on this platform — I'm sharing the link because the roles themselves looked worth passing along, not because of a kickback.
See Open Rolesmicro1 is an AI data-labeling and evaluation company that works with frontier AI labs on benchmarking and training data. As with any freelance platform, review the specific role details and never pay money upfront to "apply" for a job.
