About Us
Harmonic is a startup building the world’s most advanced mathematical reasoning engine, recently achieving Gold Medal-level performance on the 2025 International Math Olympiad (IMO). Backed by some of the world's most prominent investors, we are intentionally scaling our elite technical team.
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Engineer to join our Reinforcement Learning & Formal Methods team. This position will be focused on advancing mathematical theorem proving using cutting-edge RL techniques. The successful candidate will play a key role in developing new algorithms and models that integrate RL with formal methods to solve complex problems in theorem proving and beyond.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct high-quality research in the intersection of RL and formal methods, with a focus on mathematical theorem proving.
Develop and implement novel RL algorithms and models for theorem proving.
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to integrate RL techniques with formal methods.
Stay abreast of the latest developments in RL, formal methods, and related fields.
Minimum Qualifications
BS or MS in Computer Science, Mathematics a related technical field, or equivalent industry experience
Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in software development and testing.
Experience in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch
Strong understanding of mathematical concepts, including algebra, geometry, and analysis.
Preferred Qualifications
PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
Experience in applying AI to solve practical problems in formal methods.
Proven track record of high-quality research demonstrated by publications, patents, or software contributions.
Contributions to open-source projects or development of software tools in the field.
Strong background in RL, particularly in areas relevant to theorem proving (e.g., machine learning, natural language processing).
Proficiency in formal methods, including experience with theorem proving systems.
