Experience: 3+ years
As a Backend Engineer at Brain Co., you'll own the systems that power our AI platform end-to-end, from architecture and design to deployment and maintenance. You'll build reliable, production-grade infrastructure for enterprise and government environments, solve complex problems from first principles, and work closely with teams across Product, ML, and Infrastructure.
The work is meaningful: you'll be turning cutting-edge AI into systems that some of the world's most important organizations can actually depend on.
- Own it end-to-end: architecture, implementation, deployment, and long-term maintenance.
- Build for real environments, design modular, reusable APIs (REST, gRPC, event-driven) and backend architectures that meet enterprise and government uptime expectations.
- Think in first principles, break down complex, open-ended problems into clear technical designs and ship production-ready systems with speed and rigor.
- Optimize continuously, improve latency, throughput, and cost efficiency through profiling, thoughtful system design, and iteration.
- Partner closely with Product, ML, Infrastructure, and customer-facing teams, building systems that are intuitive, reliable, and developer-friendly.
- 3+ years building production systems with strong fundamentals in distributed systems (consistency, availability, failure modes, retries, idempotency) and deep proficiency in Go, TypeScript, Rust, Python, or similar.
- Proven ability to design from first principles, with experience building shared infrastructure, internal platforms, or developer-facing services and strong intuition for DX and long-term maintainability.
- Experience owning services with real uptime responsibility, plus familiarity with observability tooling (metrics, logging, tracing) and incident response.
- Track record designing, operating, and evolving APIs and services at scale.
- Experience with AI/ML platforms, inference systems, or data-intensive pipelines.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud-native service deployment.
- Exposure to multi-tenant, regulated, or government environments.
- 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
