About The Role

As an AI Product Engineer at Brain Co., you will play a pivotal role in building and deploying state‑of‑the‑art software solutions to automate various real‑world problems.

Make a Big Impact: Interact directly with key customer stakeholders to apply pioneering AI solutions while working alongside experienced ex‑founders, government officials/ministers, AI researchers and engineers. Understand complex business challenges and deliver software solutions powered by AI. Join a dynamic team where ideas are exchanged freely, and creativity flourishes. You will wear many hats: software development, product management, sales, and interpersonal skills.
Optimize and Scale: Build scalable data pipelines, integrate industrial sensor networks, optimize application performance and reliability, and prepare systems for production. Engage in projects including but not limited to optimizing the world's most advanced energy production systems, modernizing core government workflows, or improving patient outcomes in advanced public healthcare systems.
Learn and Lead: Stay abreast of the latest developments in software engineering and AI. Participate in code reviews, share knowledge, and set an example with high‑quality engineering practices. Mentor junior engineers and lead by example.
Make a Difference: Monitor and maintain deployed applications to ensure they continue delivering value across various governments worldwide. Work directly with customer engineers and SMEs to develop and tune applications that optimize their workflows and deliver tangible upside. Your work will directly impact how AI benefits individuals, businesses, and society at large.

You will thrive if you:

Minimum 2+ years of experience and an appetite for working directly with the customer to develop the software spec and build from zero.
Experience with front‑end and back‑end technologies, microservices, and cloud platforms.
Experience with modern web tooling such as React, Typescript, RESTful APIs, and database management systems.
Possess a strong foundation in software design principles, data structures, and algorithms.
Exhibit excellent problem‑solving and analytical skills, with a proactive approach to challenges.
Enjoy working collaboratively with cross‑functional teams.
Thrive in fast‑paced environments where priorities or deadlines may compete.
Eager to own problems end‑to‑end and willing to acquire any necessary knowledge to get the job done.
Hold a Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
