About Galois

Who We Are : From building digital engineering tools that make space exploration safer to verifying cryptographic libraries that protect some of the world's most valuable data, Galois develops technology to guarantee the trustworthiness of systems where failure is unacceptable.

What We Do : We believe trustworthy systems are built on a formal mathematical foundation. Our researchers apply formal analysis techniques to the design and verification of critical software systems, allowing us to model, analyze, and mathematically prove that a system behaves exactly as intended under all circumstances. With clients including NASA, DARPA, AWS, and the DoW, we leverage our research to deliver high assurance solutions and tools that enhance security, reliability, and operational efficiency across aerospace & defense, healthcare, semiconductors, and fintech.

Life at Galois : People are the foundation of Galois's success. As an employee-owned company, we care not only about the technologies we develop, but also the path we take to create them. Galois operates under a collaborative model that encourages leadership, teamwork, and respect for individuals. For more on our culture and organizational structure, visit Life at Galois.
