Role details
Job description
Our Mission
Rebuild how the world works, to make institutions work better for the people they serve.
About Brain Co. 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.
Why Now
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.
What You’ll Work On:
- Design, build, and operate secure, reliable infrastructure across clouds and customer environments.
- Work directly with customer infrastructure, networking, and security teams to deliver deployments across MENA.
- Build production software, tooling, and automation alongside Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability.
- Partner with the core infrastructure team, customer-facing product pods, and Security on architecture and delivery.
- Turn customer deployment lessons into reusable improvements across environments, and contribute to global infrastructure projects.
You Might Be a Great Fit If You…
- Have 5+ years building production systems as a software engineer specializing in infrastructure.
- Write reliable, maintainable code for services, integrations, and tooling.
- Have hands-on cloud, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD experience, and reason from cloud-agnostic principles.
- Bring strong system design, networking, security, and distributed-systems fundamentals.
- Can troubleshoot across application and infrastructure boundaries and own systems through production.
- Communicate requirements, designs, and technical tradeoffs clearly with customers and internal teams.
Why Join Us
- Ship quickly, iterate constantly and see your work deployed at global scale
- Collaborate with industry veterans from Tesla, DeepMind, Databricks, and more
- Accelerate your career with ownership based on impact, not tenure
- Earn competitive compensation + meaningful equity in a high-growth company
- Thrive in a culture built on speed, curiosity, and impact
Benefits
- Competitive salary plus equity
- Daily lunches
- Commuter benefits
- Unlimited PTO
- Health Insurance
Compensation
We pay competitively for every role and back that with meaningful equity, because we want the people building Brain Co. to genuinely share in what we build together. Beyond salary and equity, we invest in country-specific benefits because we want our team to feel taken care of, not only compensated. The annual base salary range for this role is $180,000 - $325,000. We publish this range for every role, as a matter of policy regardless of whether local law requires it. Actual pay will depend on skills, scope, and experience.
