About the role

As an AI Platform Engineer at Brain Co., you will build the shared backend services and technical capabilities that help us scale our AI products quickly, safely, and reliably. You will take ambiguous product and technical challenges, turn them into clear system designs, and ship robust platforms that support real-world AI applications for the world’s most important institutions.

What they're looking for

  • You bring 2+ years of experience building and scaling production backend services or platforms, with strong proficiency in Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, C++, or similar languages
  • You understand what happens under the hood. You have strong fundamentals in distributed systems, including consistency, availability, failure modes, retries, and idempotency
  • You excel at breaking down complex, open-ended problems into clear technical designs, moving from first principles to production-ready systems with both speed and rigor
  • You have a track record of owning services with real uptime expectations. You design for observability from day one, using metrics, logging, and tracing, and take responsibility for incident response and on-call support for the systems you build
  • You treat the platform as your own. You care about the end-to-end lifecycle of your systems and make pragmatic tradeoffs between immediate product needs and long-term platform health
More about this role

Rebuild how the world works, to make institutions work better for the people they serve.

Brain Co. builds AI-native operating systems for large, regulated institutions. Each system is built for a specific industry, powered by agents that push real workflows forward. Underneath it all is Atlas, our proprietary platform that keeps customers in control, secure by design, and never locked into one model.

Brain Co. is entering its next phase of production deployments on a national scale with an elite team built from Palantir, Google, Meta, and Nvidia, and a growing footprint across government, insurance, health, and financial services.

Joining now means shaping both the company and a new category of applied AI. Every project here ships to production and is expected to create measurable customer value and impact.

You'll work alongside exceptional peers on some of the hardest problems in applied AI. It’s the kind of work you'll still be proud of in ten years from now.
