About Robin A

Our vision is to build the world’s most intelligent AI legal assistant that can help anyone in the world with their legal problems. We want to build technology that transforms the way lawyers work, helping them navigate complex legal knowledge, move faster, and maximize their impact. We also want to democratize access to legal insights, now made possible through the power of AI.

We’ve grown our revenues more than 5x in the last 12 months, and we just raised $26M in Series B funding to deliver on our mission: to make contracts simple for everyone. With this new funding, we plan to expand across the world with offices in the US and Asia.

We're looking for passionate, resourceful and collaborative people to join Robin. If you're motivated about leveraging technology to make essential business services more accessible, come join us!

About the role

At Robin AI, we bring together amazing people in engineering, AI and the law to create groundbreaking products that are transforming legal teams. Our current product blends traditional engineering, neural networks and LLMs to read and comprehend written contracts, assess whether they adhere to our customers’ preferred positions and automatically amends them. But our ambitions go way beyond reviewing contracts; we want to build technology that changes the way people and companies all over the world engage with legal services.

You will help us build software that allows our customers to create contracts from a library of templates; quickly review and edit contracts sent to them by counterparties; and ask critical questions about the contracts they already have.
