## 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
