You will experiment with cutting edge research on how to best solve pressing issues surfacing in the legal domain. Your work will have direct user impact, as the end goal will be to deploy your shiny new techniques in our Robin AI platform, as well as publishing your work in a top tier venue. You will get to collaborate with other researchers, lawyers and an array of cross-functional roles, to create applied research methods covering a variety of topics (RL, agentic workflows, interpretability, automatic evaluation and more!)

• Contributing to the development of evaluation metrics and benchmarks.

• Collaborating with other researchers, engineers, product managers, designers and lawyers to make sure your approach and techniques solve real world problems for our users.

• Documenting your findings either through blog posts or research papers.

• MSc or PhD in NLP, multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, ML optimisation, interpretability or related fields.

• Experience working with LLMs, or research experience in NLP, RL (reinforcement learning), multi-agent systems.
