About Robin

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.

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. #LI-BD1
