About Us
Symbolica is an AI research lab pioneering the application of category theory to enable logical reasoning in machines.
We’re 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, we’re building AI that understands the
structures of thought
, not just patterns in data.
Our approach combines rigorous research with fast-paced, results-driven execution. We’re 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, we’ve 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 humanity’s most complex challenges with precision and insight. Join us to redefine the future of AI by turning groundbreaking ideas into reality.
About The Role
As a
Founding DevOps Engineer
, working closely with our ML Infrastructure Lead, you will design, build, and optimize the infrastructure and tools that enable us to take our research and development efforts from the lab into a highly reliable, performant and secure software stack in production. You'll help accelerate the processes involved in going from research prototypes into production and enterprise ready platforms with security, availability and reliability in mind.
📍 This is an
onsite role
that can be based in either of our SF, or London offices.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintaining a central GitOps repository for stable and safe releases of products and internal research tooling with disaster recovery, security and automation in mind.
- Assist in managing multiple Kubernetes environments across cloud providers
- Maintain and build the internal observability platform across all environments, covering everything from GPUs, AI applications and distributed backend systems
- Aid in building comprehensive CI tests for GitOps repositories and promotion systems
- Build and maintain different environments for research and client facing products according to best practices
- Solid software engineering skills in Rust, Golang or Python
About You
- 5+ years of experience in DevOps, or infrastructure roles, it would be a benefit if you have either built, maintained, or managed ML infrastructure using DevOps practices in the past
- Proficient in cloud-native architectures, with the ability to make the right tradeoffs where necessary
- Experienced with Linux, containers, Kubernetes and an interest in making sure the infrastructure is maintained in a secure manner
- Exceptional problem-solving skills with the ability to nimbly solve edge-cases with minimum disruption.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and early-stage equity package.
