Senior Software Engineer - Symbolic AI

Remote

Who We Are

At RelationalAI, we’re solving one of the most important challenges in artificial intelligence: how to teach large language models the logic, semantics, and business context of the modern enterprise.

Frontier models are trained almost entirely on public data — they can speak about the world, but they don’t understand your business. We fix that.

RelationalAI has pioneered a breakthrough called Superalignment — technology that enables LLMs to learn natively from private, structured enterprise data inside the data cloud.

By combining this with relational knowledge graphs and our proprietary neuro/symbolic-relational reasoners, we deliver trustworthy decision intelligence: systems that use semantic models to truly understand how a business operates and can reason across its data to drive better outcomes.

We’re a globally distributed team of engineers, scientists, and builders redefining how AI learns from data. We believe that high-stakes decisions deserve frontier intelligence — intelligence that’s explainable, aligned, and grounded in reality.

If you’re driven by curiosity, thrive in complexity, and want to help build the system that brings true understanding to enterprise AI, you’ll feel right at home here.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
