Technical Program Manager, Strategy & Ops

Rebuild how the world works, to make institutions work better for the people they serve.

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.

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.

As a Technical Program Manager, Strategy & Ops, you’ll be responsible to deliver technical, business, and organizational programs that shape how Brain Co. builds, operates, and scales. Your scope will span multiple programs and evolve with our priorities, giving you the opportunity to influence operations at the company level.

• Define and deliver high-impact programs: Establish the business outcome, goals, scope, success criteria, and metrics for engineering and operational initiatives. Own execution from problem definition through delivery and handoff.

• Drive cross-functional execution: Partner with Engineering, Product, Design, Finance, GTM, and other teams to align priorities, clarify ownership, resolve dependencies, and make decisions that unblock delivery.

• Improve company-wide execution: Give leadership a clear view of progress, risks, and resource needs. Use that information to address recurring bottlenecks and improve delivery through better tools and lightweight processes

• Help build the TPM function: Partner with TPM and engineering leadership to define where TPMs engage, how programs are run, and when work is ready for handoff. Contribute to shared practices, hiring, and onboarding as the team grows.
