(Senior/Lead) AI Researcher
The Company
Archon Labs are currently building up an AI research team, working on fundamental technologies to support the big bets and moonshots of a wider group of companies. We are playing the long game ultimately building an open-source AI toolstack, rather than focussing on short term deliveries. We are directly supported by the tech-savvy co-founder of our parent company.
We offer a culture first workplace with lots of flexibility to adjust to your way of work and ambitions. We are remote first (within the European timezones) and have regular on-sites in our downtown Copenhagen offices. We also work very closely with a gaming studio, so you’ll mingle with quite a diverse group of skills – e.g. game designers, and motion capture artists (who are historic sword fighting champions)
The Team
The first big long-term goal of the team is to build an agentic code generation tool. It should be able to translate vague business requirements into a deployed app and as an intermediary step validate existing BRDs, functional requirements, and code. Among others we focus on identifying malicious intent. While aiming for the high level goal and having set the initial direction, the path in between is ours to define. As a real world anchor and testing ground we will also support a (RAG) chat bot. Potentially there will be more applications, which would provide us data or insights. We also plan to spin-off products along the way whenever it makes sense.
The Position
We are currently actively looking for an AI researcher with a strong expertise in vectorized computation in graphs, deep learning, and graph neural networks. The task to fulfill includes various forms of graph related computation such as graph pattern matching, inference, and generalization with missing data/attributes. The data of interest are huge graphs representing semantic information (labels and relations) between different entities in the legal domain, as well as formal systems representing the rules of this domain. Both the size and the nature of the data makes the tasks challenging, and research is required. The form of semantic graph we are dealing with has a high-level of generality, making the outcome of this research relevant in many domains. In addition, the candidate is expected to contribute to defining the future research directions of the team.
The Candidate
The ideal candidate is a fresh PhD or an experienced researcher who has devoted her/his research to the area of graph computation and graph convolutions. To better understand the nature of the graphs we are working on, knowledge of symbolic AI and logics is a valuable addition. The candidate will also contribute to define future research directions. For this purpose, knowledge of (deep) reinforcement learning is a valuable skill for the position.
Salary and position will reflect the candidate expertise and seniority.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead (theoretical) research efforts on several graph-related computation including: large-scale (graph) pattern matching, inference, and generalization in front of with missing data.
- Propose new approaches and implement them.
- Understand Archon’s vision and collaborate on the different research lines.
- Work on a semantic representation of legal information to build a AI-based proposal
Required qualifications:
- PhD in AI in the domain of Deep Learning and Graph Neural Networks;
- Understand semantic representations;
- Python programing language, particularly experience manipulating graph structures in Python;
- Understanding of logic-base systems.
Nice to have:
- Knowledge of mathematical logic and symbolic AI approaches (first order logic, rule based systems, Prolog, LISP)
- Deep reinforcement learning;
- Linguistics-related knowledge;
- Knowledge of the legal domain.
What we Offer
- Competitive salaries
- Supplemental pension contributions (depending on location)
- 30 days of annual vacation
- Flexible work hours, remote when you need to
- Remote work supported (if the timezone is plus/minus 1/2hrs from Copenhagen)
- Flat hierarchy
- Great focus on work/life balance
- Bleeding edge tech stack
- Skilled co-workers that are driven by a passion to create
Diversity and Culture
We strongly believe in a discrimination-free workplace. Harassment, bullying, and exclusionary practices are not tolerated. We embrace the diversity of experience, perspectives, and background - they help us create a people-positive work environment and engaging games.
