Role Title: Postal Clerk

micro1 is looking for Postal Clerks to help evaluate and improve AI systems on postal service topics. You’ll use your front-counter experience to check that questions sound like real customers and that answers are correct and useful. Accuracy comes first. No AI experience is needed; your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

Review sample postal questions and flag any that don’t sound like what real customers ask.
Write rubrics that define a correct, complete answer on mail classes, shipping options, postage, fees, and shipping labels.
Cover package tracking, missing or damaged mail, change of address and mail forwarding, and international mailing and customs forms in your rubrics.
Evaluate AI-generated answers against your rubrics, flagging errors, omissions, and outdated guidance.
Share clear written feedback with the project team, working asynchronously.

Required Qualifications

Current, former, or retired USPS frontline experience (postal clerk, sales and service associate, or retail associate)
1+ years helping customers in person at a post office counter
Working knowledge of mail classes, shipping options, postage, tracking, and change of address
US-based
Able to start quickly and commit 15-25 hours/week
Clear, precise writing

Not a fit: Mail carrier, mail processing, or private shipping store experience alone

Nice to Have

Experience with international mail and customs documentation
Experience handling missing or damaged mail claims
Experience creating guides, FAQs, or training materials
Experience helping a diverse range of customers, including rural and non-English-speaking communities
