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.\nWhy Now\nBrain 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.\nJoining 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.\nYou'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.\nWhat You'll Work On\nYou'll join the team that owns the Software Factory: the development environments, build systems, CI/CD, and engineering automation that set the ceiling on how fast every other engineer at Brain Co. can ship high-quality software.\nThis is a force-multiplier role: your work compounds as we add teams, services, and customers. You'll shape how engineers develop, test, review, and ship software, combining developer tooling, reliable infrastructure, and AI-assisted workflows to improve speed and quality across Brain Co.\nYour job is to discover, measure, and remove developer friction. You should be comfortable going from “this workflow is slow or confusing” to instrumented evidence, a shipped improvement, and clear before/after impact.\nOwn developer environments and build infrastructure\nOwn the local development experience, monorepo, build systems, and shared tooling. Make it easy for engineers to set up, develop, and test software, with fast and reliable workflows as the company scales.\nBuild delivery workflows and engineering automation\nOwn CI/CD, PR workflows, code-review automation, and shared tooling for product quality assurance. Integrate AI-assisted development and coding agents where they improve speed and quality, supporting delivery across cloud, regulated, and air-gapped environments.\nMeasure and improve developer experience\nDiscover, measure, and remove friction across the development lifecycle. Combine developer feedback with instrumentation to shorten feedback loops, improve reliability, and demonstrate clear before/after impact.\nDrive onboarding, enablement, and adoption\nHelp engineers become productive quickly through intuitive tooling, documentation, and practical support. Guide teams through new workflows and migrations, and drive adoption through quality, not mandates.\nOperate the developer platform as a product\nOwn the full lifecycle: architecture, implementation, rollout, reliability, and iteration based on internal user feedback. Partner closely with engineering, Infrastructure, and Security to build a platform teams trust and want to use.\nYou Might Be a Great Fit If You…\nWe're looking for engineers who treat developer experience as a product - engineers who reach for users, not just specs.\nDeveloper Platform & Build Systems\nHave 3+ years building developer-facing infrastructure: monorepo platforms, build systems, CI/CD, or internal tooling.\n\nHave hands-on depth with at least one modern monorepo tool (Nx, Bazel, Pants, Buck, Turborepo) and the willingness to go deeper.\n\nHave strong fluency with CI/CD systems at scale (GitHub Actions, Buildkite, CircleCI, or similar): matrix design, caching strategies, secret flow, parallelism.\n\nAre fluent in at least two of: Go, Python, TypeScript, Rust, Bash.\n\nHave experience building automated testing or code-quality workflows that engineers trust.\n\nPlatform & Product Mindset\nHave shipped developer platforms that real engineers adopted.\n\nHave measured developer friction and shown clear before/after impact from tooling, CI, build, release, or workflow improvements.\n\nHave strong intuition for developer experience, paved paths, and long-term maintainability.\n\nAre comfortable owning the full lifecycle: design doc, MVP, hardening, adoption.\n\nCan help teams adopt new tools and migrate existing workflows through clear documentation and practical support.\n\nProduction & Reliability\nHave owned developer-facing systems with real uptime and operational responsibility.\n\nAre familiar with observability tooling and incident response.\n\nBring strong fundamentals in retries, idempotency, queueing, and failure modes for reliable build and automation systems.\n\nWays You Might Stand Out\nBuilt or integrated coding agents, automated code review, or AI-assisted testing into engineering workflows, with measurable improvements in speed or quality.\n\nExperience with sandboxed code execution, credential scoping, or security controls for development agents.\n\nBuilt or significantly contributed to a remote build cache, custom build system, or hermetic build pipeline (Bazel, Nix, etc.).\n\nLed a polyrepo → monorepo (or reverse) migration at scale.\n\nExperience applying DORA / SPACE or other DX metrics in practice.\n\nBackground in release engineering, supply-chain security (SLSA, Sigstore), or artifact management.\n\nBuilt internal PaaS, dev environments, or scaffolding generators.\n\nBuilt shared quality-assurance infrastructure, such as end-to-end test harnesses, Storybook / visual-regression tooling, accessibility checks, or performance budgets across apps.\n\nOpen-source contributions to Nx plugins, GitHub Actions, coding-agent tooling, or related developer platforms.\n\nExposure to multi-tenant, regulated, or air-gapped deployment environments.\n\nWhy This Role Matters\nYou'll set the ceiling on how fast every other engineer at Brain Co. can ship. As we grow from a handful of teams to dozens - building AI systems for governments and regulated industries - the platform that lets us move quickly without breaking what matters becomes one of the highest-leverage systems in the company.\nBenefits\nCompetitive salary plus equity\n\nMedical, Dental, and Vision coverage\n\n401(k)\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nDaily lunches\n\nCommuter benefits","description_format":"text","description_chars":6251,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Operating Systems","AI Agents","Health Insurance & Benefits"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-06-18T04:09:57Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-22T18:25:24Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-26T05:13:31Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":29,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.663,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":134,"expected_fill_days":96,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/brain-co-ai-platform-engineer-devx","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/brain-co-ai-platform-engineer-devx.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T07:51:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11026,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2051367},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2051367"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbrain-co-ai-platform-engineer-devx"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbrain-co-ai-platform-engineer-devx"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbrain-co-ai-platform-engineer-devx"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/brain-co-ai-platform-engineer-devx\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbrain-co-ai-platform-engineer-devx"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":14148}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"brain.co","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":14148},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
