Synthetic Minds

The ideal candidate has a master/phd in systems, compilers, programming languages, or distributed systems; but never gets to use it in their day job. Synthetic Minds will allow you to leverage your technical chops. Synthetic Minds is building program synthesizers, i.e., automation that can write code. We have a system in production that reads/writes smart contracts in Ethereum's Solidity language, and we use it to ensure our customer's code is secure and correct. Eventually, we plan on going far beyond smart contracts. Think of what we are building as a compiler that takes code and translates it to theorem proving, so that we can build automation that can understand code almost as close to a human. If it can understand code, with sufficient compute it can even “synthesize” it. In Oct 2018, we raised a $5.6M seed round from Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures and Pantera Capital. We have paying customers and a backlog waiting to be on-boarded. The team is heavily experienced. This is the founder’s second startup and they have a PhD in the area. The 1st employee was the first hire at Parse (YC S11) and has 10 yrs at Google. We aim to be a 10-15 person all-engineering team in 2019.
