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 AI, 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. Our vision is to create AI systems that transform industries, empowering machines to solve humanity’s most complex challenges with precision and insight.

About us
While others focus on scaling data-hungry neural networks, we’re building AI that understands the structures of thought , not just patterns in data.
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.
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.
About this role
Symbolica AI is hiring its first Technical Program Manager to lay the foundations of a new Program function. This role begins with a strong internal focus: helping our teams organise, prioritise, and execute the work needed to bring our product to a finalised and commercially ready state. As the product matures, the role will expand to leading end-to-end delivery to customers, defining how we deploy, onboard, and support organisations adopting Symbolica’s technology. This is a rare opportunity to build a function from the ground up: designing processes, ways of working, and delivery frameworks that will scale with the company.
📍 This is an onsite role based in our SF office (345 California St).
