About UsSymbolica is an AI research lab pioneering the application of category theory to enable logical reasoning in machines.Were a well-resourced, nimble team of experts on a mission to bridge the gap between theoretical mathematics and cutting-edge technologies, creating symbolic reasoning models that think like humans precise, logical, and interpretable. While others focus on scaling data-hungry neural networks, were building AI that understands the
structures of thought
, not just patterns in data.
Our approach combines rigorous research with fast-paced, results-driven execution. Were reimagining the very foundations of intelligence while simultaneously developing product-focused machine learning models in a tight feedback loop, where research fuels application.Founded in 2022, weve raised over $30M from leading Silicon Valley investors, including Khosla Ventures,General Catalyst, Abstract Ventures, and Day One Ventures, to push the boundaries of applying formal mathematics and logic to machine learning.Our vision is to create AI systems that transform industries, empowering machines to solve humanitys most complex challenges with precision and insight.JoinustoredefinethefutureofAIbyturninggroundbreakingideasintoreality.About the RoleWere looking for
