Home-Based Senior Software Engineer

New Yesterday

Symbolica 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. 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.Were looking for Senior Software Engineers to take full ownership of delivering working systems from prototypes and high-level specs taking ideas from the research team, turning them into production-quality systems, and shipping them quickly.Youll work closely with researchers, ML engineers, and leadership to turn ambitious ideas into real products. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on shipping who sees incomplete specs as an opportunity, not a blocker and who wants to build systems that work reliably, at scale, and in the real world.
This is an onsite role based in our London office (66 City Rd).
