Communications and Marketing Lead

About us

Symbolica was founded on a simple idea: intelligence is about structure and reasoning, not just pattern matching.

For decades, AI has been split between symbolic systems that are reliable but brittle and neural systems that are flexible but unpredictable. We're building a bridge between the two.

We're an AI research lab combining deep mathematics and machine learning to create systems that truly reason. Using category and type theory as a unifying framework, we develop interpretable, reliable and scalable foundations for intelligence and turn them into real products, working in a tight feedback loop where research directly shapes application.

Agentica is the latest expression of this vision: an agent framework for tool use and multi-agent orchestration through arbitrary code execution. It recently achieved 85.28% on ARC-AGI-2, setting a new public SOTA.

Founded in 2022, we've raised over $30M from investors including Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, Abstract Ventures and Buckley Ventures, backing us to rethink the mathematical foundations of machine learning.

If you've ever been kept awake wondering what comes after deep learning, you'll fit right in.

About this roleYou 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 over claiming.
• 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.
