Research Engineer

Company Pramaana Labs is a frontier AI lab building the verification layer for AI. Founded in 2025 and headquartered in Palo Alto, we turn complex human knowledge, including tax codes, legal rules, clinical guidelines and security protocols, into a formal representation, so every AI answer can be traced, challenged, and proved. Pramaana's architecture pairs foundation models trained to formalize and reason with a symbolic world model encoded in Lean 4.

Pramaana was founded by a team out of Google, DeepMind, and Glean, combining frontier AI researchers and formal methods experts. The Role We’re looking for a Research Engineer to build and improve the systems that turn complex knowledge into formal representations and use them to reason and prove. You’ll work closely with researchers and formal methods engineers on Pramaana’s domain formalizer, autoformalizer, and prover, making these systems more accurate, repeatable, and efficient.

This is a hands-on role combining software engineering with careful experimentation. Your work could include building model and tool orchestration, improving evaluation, developing data pipelines and training environments, or implementing new representations. You’ll own a focused workstream based on your strengths and the team’s needs, with room to contribute across the research stack.

You’ll take ideas from an initial experiment to a tested implementation, investigate failures, and measure whether changes improve correctness, coverage, latency, an
