About the role

  • Senior Applied Scientist leading research and innovations in AI to make legal knowledge accessible at Robin. Bridging gaps between advanced search technologies and legal information needs in a hybrid work environment.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and advance knowledge extraction and representation methods - we’re particularly interested in people keen on:
  • structured knowledge extraction from legal texts and images
  • knowledge graphs/ontology engineering
  • legal knowledge base construction
  • specialised embedding methods for multimodal content in the legal domain
  • Develop methods for retrieval and reasoning over legal knowledge bases and systems (e.g. hybrid search approaches combining symbolic and neural techniques, query understanding and rewriting for legal search)
  • Performing fine-tuning and reinforcement learning to teach language models how to interact with new information architectures.
  • Building “hard” eval sets to help identify failure modes of how language models work with legal data.
  • Build infrastructure for running experiments and visualising results.
  • Work with colleagues to communicate results internally and publicly.
  • Stay updated with the latest research in machine learning, AI, knowledge representation and retrieval to bring innovative solutions to the table.
  • Mentor junior researchers and contribute to building a collaborative, knowledge-sharing culture.

Requirements

  • A Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Strong expertise in machine learning algorithms, statistical methods, and optimisation techniques.
  • Have a strong track record of scientific research (in any field), and have done work on information retrieval, knowledge representation and reasoning, structured knowledge extraction, or large-scale data analytics.
  • You view research and engineering as two sides of the same coin. Every team member writes code, designs and runs experiments, and interprets results.
  • Experience (or desire to be) working in multi-disciplinary teams.

Benefits

  • Hybrid schedule: We offer a flexible working schedule. #LI-HYBRID
  • Equity package: Generous equity scheme - everyone gets to be an owner of Robin AI!
