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 this role

You will own Symbolica’s external narrative end to end, with a bias toward shipping: clear messaging, crisp writing, and a steady drumbeat of visibility that makes Agentica unavoidable in the right circles. You will translate research into product relevance, turn product reality into market pull, and build a repeatable comms and marketing engine that earns high-quality media and conference presence for our brand and CEO while also driving adoption through customer-facing channels. This is a hands-on role based onsite, designed for someone who has operated inside a real tech company and knows how to move fast without sounding like a campaign or agency.

📍 This is an onsite role based in our San Francisco office (345 California St).

Your focus

Own Symbolica’s positioning and messaging across every surface area: website, product, docs, blogs, emails, decks, social, partner materials, and founder narratives, collaborating closely with our Brand and Design Lead
Build and run launch and ongoing programs that create sustained awareness and adoption: announcements, blogs, content series, community and developer campaigns, partner pushes, and moment-making.
Lead PR and earned media: manage journalist relationships, drive a consistent cadence of high-quality interviews, speaking opportunities, and features, and ensure every story lands with precision.
Build our executive’s external presence: speaker strategy, pipeline, event targeting, talk abstracts, support, and amplification to convert attention into inbound.
Run customer-facing comms ops: product announcements, lifecycle emails, newsroom updates, website refresh cadence, and narrative consistency across all customer touchpoints.

About you

You have shipped marketing and comms inside a high-performing tech company, ideally developer or infrastructure adjacent, and you can show work that changed outcomes.
You are an exceptional writer and editor who can sound technical without being dense, and who can create crisp narrative frameworks that other teams can actually use.
You have strong PR instincts and operator chops: you can build a media plan, manage relationships, pitch effectively, and turn coverage into a compounding program.
You have taste and judgment: you know what is credible, what is hype, what is premature, and how to make ambitious work feel inevitable without overclaiming.
You are low ego, high ownership, fast, and calm under pressure. You collaborate tightly with founders, push for clarity, and handle sensitive narrative decisions with discretion.

We offer competitive compensation, including an attractive equity package, with salary and equity levels aligned to your experience and expertise.

Symbolica is an equal opportunities employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees, regardless of race, gender, age, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
