Overview

micro1 seeks Contracts Attorneys for a confidential project that blends legal work with AI development. You will use your commercial contracting background to review and redline agreements, helping train next-generation AI systems. No AI experience is needed; your legal expertise is what counts. The role is remote and US-based, with work drawn from everyday in-house practice.

What You'll Do7

  • Review and redline commercial agreements such as MSAs, NDAs, and DPAs following established playbooks and policies.
  • Analyze contract drafts to spot key issues and decide on company positions and acceptable fallback terms.
  • Write clear, reasoned explanations for each redline or revision you make.
  • Apply your knowledge of contract drafting, negotiation, and technology transactions to real legal documents.
  • Work with the project team to keep standards and interpretations consistent throughout the engagement.
  • Maintain high accuracy and legal writing quality in every review.
  • Operate independently in a remote, deadline-driven project setting.

Requirements6

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school and active bar admission in a U.S. jurisdiction.
  • At least 4 years of transactional experience at a law firm or as in-house counsel, focused on contract drafting, review, and negotiation.
  • Strong familiarity with commonly negotiated commercial clauses like limitation of liability, indemnification, confidentiality, and data protection.
  • Ability to distill complex legal concepts into clear, actionable written analyses.
  • Sound judgment and high accuracy in contract review and interpretation.
  • Comfort working independently in a remote, deadline-driven environment.

Preferred Qualifications2

  • Expertise in technology transactions is a strong plus.
  • Adaptability and drive to contribute to a high-impact, innovative legal project in a confidential setting.

Who Should Apply

This role suits a Contracts Attorney with at least 4 years of transactional experience and active U.S. bar admission. You should be skilled at redlining commercial agreements and explaining your reasoning in writing. Tech transactions experience is a bonus, but no AI background is required.
