About the role

Brain Co. is hiring an exceptional, business-minded deal lawyer to be our first in-house attorney and build our Legal foundations. You will work alongside key partners throughout the company — including Sales, Business Development, Finance, and the executive team — to close first-of-kind strategic partnerships and high-value deals. You’ll work on a wide variety of deal types, many of which open new routes to market for Brain Co. across government, regulated industries, and major enterprises.

What they're looking for

  • J.D. and active bar membership (California admission or eligibility to waive in strongly preferred)
  • 5-8 years of legal experience, with a combination of large law firm and in-house experience at a tech company
  • Strong background negotiating complex commercial contracts, preferably in SaaS, AI, or enterprise software, including a track record of leading the negotiation of major deals with C-level execs
  • Strong communication skills, verbal and written, able to partner with both legal and non-legal stakeholders and translate complex legal issues into clear, actionable guidance
  • A proactive mindset and the ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced startup environment
  • Sound judgement and a pragmatic approach — protective of the company’s interests without being an obstacle to getting deals done
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.

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.
