Overview
Job Description
The Company Grakn Labsis a team of people driven by a purpose: to solve the world's most complex problems, throughknowledge engineering. We are the inventors of theGraknknowledge-base and theGraqlquery language. Our technology helps organisations in various industries, including Life Sciences, Defence & Security, Financial Services and Robotics, to build intelligent systems that we believe will change the world. From financial analytics to drug discovery, cyber threat detection to robotics disaster recovery, our technology empowers engineersaround the world to tackle a higher order of complexity in knowledge, and solve the world's most complex problems. In 2017, we were awardedProduct of the Yearby the University of Cambridge. After only a few years, ourpioneering communityhas grown to 5K+ engineers, spread across 10+ countries around the globe -- and we're still counting. To continue pursuing this vision, we need to build a team of individuals who are not just the best and brightest in what theydo,but also driven by a strong sense of purpose and compassion for the world.
