Lead Frontend Engineer at Symbolica AI

Symbolica AI is a research-focused artificial intelligence company based in California and London that develops foundational technologies for enterprise-scale AI. Its work centers on advancing natural language processing by combining deep learning with structured cognition and symbolic reasoning, aiming to bridge the gap between human and machine language understanding. Symbolica AI’s models feature explicit episodic memory, formal reasoning capabilities, and are designed for reliability, compliance, and secure deployment. The company targets complex reasoning tasks—including theorem proving and code synthesis—by providing a technological foundation broader and more interpretable than standard large language models. Founded in 2022, backed by Khosla, General Catalyst, Abstract, Buckley, and Day One.

Why? We’ve taken a wrong turn. The AI industry is holding on to the hope that bigger models and more data will magically yield true intelligence, so it continues down this path of least resistance. Symbolica rejects this approach.

Intelligence isn't just statistical guesswork. It’s not pattern matching, brute force scale, or ingesting ever larger amounts of data. Intelligence requires structure, precise reasoning, and interpretability. Real intelligence is rooted in logic and structured thought.

LLMs revealed that scaling up pattern matching alone can produce startling results. This fueled excitement and hope, which mobilized incredible amounts of capital and talent. But patterns have limits. Guessing the next token, no matter how big the model or how vast the dataset, will never be reasoning. Hallucinations and errors have persisted, and incremental improvements plateau quickly. You can’t solve novel and unique real-world problems reliably and transparently with probabilistic predictions.

Symbolica was founded to build generalized intelligence. We're pioneering a fundamentally different approach—structured, deterministic, and verifiable reasoning. We’ve built a platform that seamlessly integrates powerful structured reasoning into existing codebases and augmenting major LLMs, making reliable intelligence instantly accessible as agents that are type-safe, interpretable, and cannot hallucinate about your codebase. Our platform replaces uncertainty with predictability; it turns alchemy into chemistry. We’re excited for the incredible impact it’s going to have. But this platform is just the beginning.

We're building a truly generalized reasoning engine. It’s a platform capable of explicit, symbolic problem-solving across any discipline. This isn't an incremental improvement; it's a new paradigm. By combining rigorous mathematical logic with cutting-edge ML techniques, we've built AI systems that understand, reason, and prove—systems you can trust completely and verify.

We’re building a world where machine systems become true collaborators. Not only intelligent, but also trustworthy, reliable, and interpretable. The days of blindly trusting the outputs of a black box are numbered.

Reliable AI is only possible with Symbolica.
