Contract Dataops Engineer Jobs in Chicago, IL (NOW HIRING)

At Logical Intelligence, we're revolutionizing software development with AI-powered formal verification. We've developed groundbreaking agents that provide mathematical guarantees of code correctness, ensuring that software behaves exactly as intended while proactively identifying bugs and security vulnerabilities. Our novel foundation model enables scalable, precise reasoning for formally verifiable code across Rust, Golang, and smart contract VMs. We’ve won a well-known formal verification benchmark called PutnamBench, which consists of 672 hard math problems from the William Lowell Putnam Exam, the oldest collegiate mathematics competition in North America. Backed by a world-class team – including ICPC champions, a Fields Medalist and an ACM Turing Award winner – we're building the future where all code is provably correct.
