micro1 — Open Source GitHub Maintainer ($150–300/hr): new row, verified 2026-10-20
Supplement to career-lane/daily-2026-10-20.md. Surfaced during the mid-day micro1 index follow-up (the jobs.micro1.ai index is a JS shell in text reads; this row came via a mirror and was verified on the canonical page).
The row
- URL: https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/51a65c2c-07dd-4307-aba6-f7c4af17311c
- Status: LIVE — "Apply now" renders on the canonical page, read 2026-10-20 ~10:45 ET.
- Pay: $150–300/hour, output-based per accepted task (not hourly floor — effective rate is pace-dependent).
- Terms: contractor; 15 hrs/week; remote, open globally; flexible schedule with constant-activity expectation; minimum weekly task submissions; "typically fill roles within 48 hours."
- Work: review LLM-generated code patches for the repository (or repositories) the expert maintains; write detailed justifications; peer-review other experts' submissions.
- Gate (page-verbatim): "Applicants must have clear open source contributions and profiles to showcase it like GitHub or GitLab." Preferred: experience maintaining an OSS repo; experience reviewing contributor code.
- Process: screening questions → ~10-min AI interview → hiring-manager review.
Fit — honest read
The work is Alexander's daily shape: diff-level review of generated code with written justification. The named gate is the one honest gap: his public review work lives on Gitea (forge.alexanderwhitestone.com), not GitHub or GitLab as the page names it — same gap as the Oct-15 OpenTrain OSS-maintainer note. Name the Gitea profile in the application, don't hide it. Skills line names C++, Java, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, C — Python-first backend is his lane; the others are "required skills" list items, not per-role hard screens on this project.
Standing cautions (repeat, not new)
- First stage is an AI interview → pause ALL Mac automations before it.
- This is Timmy's relay: queue-add and apply authorization are Alexander's call, same as the other pending rows (24-MAG vs Turing door + rate, micro1 Senior SWE, Askable N4).
Provenance
- Mirror that surfaced it: vibingtalk referral thread (published 2026-09-26), linking the canonical post UUID above.
- Verified on the canonical micro1 page itself 2026-10-20; "Published: 2026-08-14" on page (so it predates the track — the 10-20 scout simply missed this row; it is not a new posting).
- The live-board enumeration follow-up is still running in a background browser task; if it surfaces further missed rows they land here as addenda.
Addendum — full-board enumeration completed 2026-10-20 ~10:55 ET
A live-browser pass enumerated all 247 roles on the micro1 board (each card's URL read from its href, UUID matched to title):
- No new (published ≥ 2026-10-19) SWE/AI-eval roles. The 9 new listings are all medical, legal, or video/data-collection roles — nothing in Alexander's lane. The "newest-post" coverage gap in this morning's tick is now closed.
- Card-verified candidates for tomorrow's tick to verify at detail-page level (card read live today; detail pages NOT yet read — do not present as verified leads):
- "Software Engineering Specialist" — Sep 25, 2026 — $150–350/h — https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/b4ce7861-a888-4f57-bb63-c50fb01ae65d — top-band pay; work content unknown, verify before any fit call.
- "Senior Software Engineer" — Sep 20, 2026 — $30–100/h — https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/9b3377c5-01da-40d7-9304-39cc8cd20932 — distinct UUID from tracked #15; lower band, secondary.
- "Junior Software Engineer" — Oct 12, 2026 — $150–200/h — https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/29ba0d51-2d9f-412e-ad19-5f28a76ca96e — title caveat (cf. the OpenTrain "Junior" wallpaper precedent); verify work content.
- "Open Source Contributor (GitHub)" — Sep 16, 2026 — $100–150/h — https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/18a809aa-0b7f-4523-ac0e-508c9f0f6f66 — lower-band sibling of the OSS-maintainer family (also #36/#38/#169 at $50–100/h).
- Screened out at card level (not leads): "Sr. Full-Stack Software Engineer" (Sep 16, $50–100/h) — frontend/full-stack emphasis, denialist rule; "AI Agent Evaluator" / "Everyday AI Agent Tester" (Oct 9, $25–45/h) — below senior band; "Applied Scientist" (Oct 15, $245–280/h) — different discipline.
