micro1 card-level candidates — detail-page verification (2026-10-21)

Follow-up to the 2026-10-20 micro1 supplement addendum, which deferred these four card-level candidates to the next tick for detail-page verification. Verified 2026-10-21 ~16:40 ET via browser.open on the canonical jobs.micro1.ai/post/<uuid> pages (full copy rendered for 3 of 4; the 4th URL was malformed — see below).

1. "Software Engineering Specialist" — Sep 25, 2026 — $150–350/hr

  • URL: https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/b4ce7861-a888-4f57-bb63-c50fb01ae65d
  • Verdict: LIVE (page renders, "Apply now" present, Published 2026-09-25), SCREENED OUT on fit.
  • Pay on page: "$150 - $350/hour". Contractor; Remote (US, UK or CAN).
  • Actual role title on page: "Software Engineering Specialist - Executive Presentation Review". Work is slide reconstruction, presentation design, data visualization, content editing for technical decks (Microsoft PowerPoint, "Slide Reconstruction, Presentation Design, Visual Storytelling").
  • Same family as the Oct-15 "Software Engineering Presentation Review Specialist" one-liner. Top-band pay, off-lane work. Not a lead.

2. "Senior Software Engineer" — Sep 20, 2026 — $30–100/hr

  • URL: https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/9b3377c5-01da-40d7-9304-39cc8cd20932
  • Verdict: LIVE (page renders, Published 2026-09-20). In-lane work, below-band pay — secondary carry.
  • Pay on page: "$30 - $100/hour"; compensation section states output-based per accepted task with minimum weekly submissions (effective rate is pace-dependent). Contractor ~15 hrs/wk, remote, flexible.
  • Work: create realistic, challenging coding tasks for AI to solve (feature implementation, bug fixes) + implement deterministic verifiers. Python3 named among languages; strong testing background "a big plus".
  • Process: screening → ~30-min AI interview → technical assessment → hiring manager. "Typically fill roles within 48 hours."

3. "Junior Software Engineer" — Oct 12, 2026 — $150–200/hr

  • URL: https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/29ba0d51-2d9f-412e-ad19-5f28a76ca96e
  • Verdict: LIVE (page renders, Published 2026-10-12). NEW LEAD — top-band pay, in-lane work.
  • Pay on page: "$150 - $200/hour". Role Type: Contractor; Location: Remote (no country restriction stated on page).
  • Work: evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, quality, design; write challenging coding problems, reference solutions, and test cases; review model reasoning on architecture/debugging/system design; detailed technical feedback. Required skills: System Design, Code Review, Debugging, Algorithms, Data Structures, Software Architecture.
  • Preferred qualifications: 1+ year as a SWE at a top technology company (part within past 3 years); based in an English-speaking country; clear written technical communication. No degree gate on page.
  • Fit note: title "Junior" is the same platform wallpaper as the Oct-15 OpenTrain Junior SWE precedent (badges stamped on senior-scope roles); Alexander clears every stated bar comfortably. Queue-add is his call, same as the other pending rows.

4. "Open Source Contributor (GitHub)" — Sep 16, 2026 — $100–150/hr

  • URL from the 10-20 supplement (.../post/0b7f-4523-ac0e-508c9f0f6f66) is malformed (truncated UUID) — canonical page returns "Job Not Found / Invalid URL please check url and try again". True canonical UUID unresolved.
  • Verdict: corroborated LIVE 2026-10-21 via mirrors, not canonical. Six mirrors carry the role with consistent copy: redpenjobs.com (states "We read this listing on micro1 on 16 Sep 2026 and checked it again on 21 Oct 2026" — today's re-check), aitrainer.work, remowork.life, nearskill.in, wfadigital.com, lepidata.com.
  • Pay: $100–150/hr. Global remote contractor ~15 hrs/wk, flexible; ~100 openings.
  • Work: repo exploration, debugging front-end AND back-end components, translating full builds between languages, unit/integration/regression/e2e tests, reviewing AI-generated patches for correctness/completeness/security/ maintainability.
  • Gates (page-verbatim per mirrors): "A public or otherwise verifiable GitHub profile"; meaningful ownership/contributions (docs-only/typo-fix PRs don't count); discuss specific repos, PRs, issues authored.
  • Honest fit notes: (a) same GitHub/GitLab gate gap as the OSS-maintainer — Alexander's public review work lives on Gitea; (b) work explicitly includes front-end component work (generic, not React-mandated — mild, not a screen-out); (c) compensation section states output-based per-task pay with minimum weekly submissions, so treat the hourly band as nominal until the application page is read.

Standing cautions (repeat, not new)

  • AI interview is the first stage on micro1 roles → pause ALL Mac automations before it (Oct-3 rule, now codified in interview-preflight-24mag.md).
  • Queue-add / apply authorization is Alexander's call via Timmy, same as the other pending rows (24-MAG Turing door + rate, micro1 Senior SWE $245–280/hr, Askable N4).
