About the Role
micro1 is engaging experienced Energy Regulatory Counsels to contribute to a customer’s AI training initiative. 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.

- Work through realistic regulatory scenarios drawn from FERC, state PUC, and ISO/RTO practice, explaining the analysis behind your conclusions.
- Identify where a question is unsettled, jurisdictionally contested, or turns on facts that change the answer.
- Review and validate work from other contributors for legal accuracy and clarity of reasoning.
- Document your reasoning clearly, so the analysis is as useful as the conclusion.
- Flag ambiguous or poorly framed scenarios to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.
- Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.
