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. About Brain Co. Brain Co. is an Applied AI startup co-founded by Elad Gil and backed by many of Silicon Valley’s leading builders—including Patrick Collison (CEO of Stripe), Andrej Karpathy (Cofounder of OpenAI), Mike Krieger (CPO of Anthropic), Kevin Weil (CPO of OpenAI), and Aravind Srinivas (CEO of Perplexity). We are building AI applications for the world’s most important institutions—delivering impact on real-world problems. Our progress so far

- Automated construction permitting for a sovereign government → 80% faster, unlocking $375M+ in value
- Optimized supply chains for a leading global energy company → 30% lower cost, 99% reliability, preventing $100M+ in losses
- Streamlined hospital patient care across national health systems → 40% better outcomes, 80% less admin work
- Raised a $30M Series A from top investors
- Built a team of 40+ AI experts from Tesla, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, and Databricks

At Brain Co., your work will be deployed in the real world, not stuck in research. We move fast, with more demand than we can serve, and are looking for exceptional people to take ownership from day one.

## About The Role

We are looking for a passionate and experienced Product Designer. You will play a critical role in shaping both the visual and structural design of complex, AI-driven software products. Your contributions will directly influence the company’s trajectory and the success of our innovative product suite.

## What You'll Do

- Lead end-to-end design efforts, including UX research, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and testing.
- Experiment with new AI design tools like Lovable, v0, and more to define how Product Design’s function on product teams is changing.
- Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to understand user requirements and translate them into elegant, intuitive solutions.
- Design sophisticated software experiences tailored for enterprise and governmental environments, prioritizing usability, scalability, and aesthetics.
- Help establish and evolve the design system and guidelines to ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency across all products.
- Advocate for the user, continuously seeking insights and data to iterate and refine our product experiences.

## Qualifications

- 6-10 years of professional experience in software product design, with a strong portfolio demonstrating elegant solutions for complex enterprise software.
- Proven experience designing visually appealing, workflow-oriented products that significantly improve user productivity.
- Exceptional skills in design tools (Figma, Claude Design, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.) and familiarity with prototyping tools (e.g., Rive, Framer).
- Strong understanding of UX principles, design thinking, and accessibility standards.
- Experience working collaboratively in fast-paced, agile, and multidisciplinary teams.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design decisions and rationale.
- Prior experience in AI-driven or data-intensive software solutions is a significant plus.

## Why Join Us

- Ship quickly, iterate constantly and see your work deployed at global scale
- Collaborate with industry veterans from Airbnb, Apple, Google 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

If you want to see your work deployed at scale with real impact, Brain Co. is the place to build. At Brain Co., we believe in transparent, data-driven compensation that attracts and retains top talent.
