Defense Analyst ($50-100/hr)

What you'll do

You read AI-generated scenarios about military operations, armed conflict and defense planning and judge whether they hold up. You check capabilities and operational assumptions for accuracy and realism, look at how civilian protection, constraints and international humanitarian law (IHL) are handled, and write structured feedback on the errors and unrealistic assumptions you find. The work is remote and contract-based.

What you need

• Professional experience as a defense analyst, military operations analyst, conflict analyst or national security researcher
• A background in defense research, capabilities assessment, conflict analysis or operational planning
• A strong grasp of military operations, armed conflict and defense decision-making
• The ability to explain complex findings clearly in writing

Nice to have

• Experience with defense organizations, government agencies, research institutes, think tanks or international organizations
• Familiarity with IHL, rules of engagement or civilian protection

What it pays

micro1 publishes $50–100/hour. The ad does not say whether pay is hourly or per task, how many hours a week to expect, or how long the project runs, so ask before you commit.

Worth knowing

Good:

• 20 openings, flagged "High demand"
• Work that uses your analysis skills directly

Less good:

• Hours and duration are unstated
• Written feedback on scenario content can be mentally heavy
• Senior profiles are the clear target
