It should make clear that the candidate personally handled the package and reviewer interaction. What are the most common reasons permit packages are returned with comments or rejected in your primary jurisdiction? A strong answer should identify concrete issues such as incomplete drawings, inconsistent plans, missing calculations, code-interpretation errors, incomplete forms, local amendment conflicts, or insufficient site information. The candidate should distinguish between predictable administrative deficiencies and substantive code issues. How would you evaluate whether an AI-generated permitting recommendation is correct? A strong answer should describe comparing the recommendation against the applicable code edition, local amendments, project facts, required documents, and actual jurisdictional review practice. The candidate should also explain how they would document uncertainty and flag recommendations needing professional or jurisdictional confirmation. Tell us about a jurisdiction-specific unwritten rule or workflow that materially affects permit approval. A strong answer should provide a specific example, such as preferred submission sequencing, reviewer expectations, recurring local documentation requirements, or effective ways to address comments. It should explain why that practice matters even if it is not obvious from published requirements. How would you provide product feedback when the AI is confidently wrong about a permit requirement? A strong answer should be direct and evidence-based: identify the incorrect output, cite the relevant code, local amendment, or review practice, explain the likely consequence, and recommend the corrected behavior. The candidate should prioritize reproducible examples that product teams can use to improve the system. ### Our Mission Rebuild how the world works, to make institutions work better for the people they serve. ### 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 the Role Brain Co. is building the world’s first AI-native permitting, and we need people who’ve actually done the work to help us get it right. You would play a role in helping shape AI Permitting in the US. We’re looking for 1) homebuilders and developers – production builders, custom builders, small regionals, and 2) architects, and 3) engineers to join us as part-time advisors. You’ll work directly with our product and GTM teams, telling us where our AI falls short, what would actually change how you operate, and what it would take for a tool like this to earn a place in your workflow. We are looking for someone for a minimum of 2 hours per week for 3-4 months. Opportunity to extend as needed. ### What you’ll do * Walk us through how you submit – Tell us what is included, what you’ve learned to front-load, where submissions get tripped up * Use the product on a project – Run a real permit package through our software alongside normal process * Tell us where we are wrong – Review AI output on real permit submissions and flag errors, gaps, or misapplied code * Jurisdiction knowledge – Help us understand how review actually works across different jurisdictions and permit types * Help us learn what a good submissions looks like – Review sample packages and tell us what would sail through, come back with comments, or get rejected ### Who we’re looking for * Someone who has personally submitted permits, not managed the process from a distance, but actually prepared packages, responded to comments, and tracked submissions through approval * Active or former plans examiner, permit engineer, architect of record, or homebuilder, anyone whose name is on the drawings or whose desk the rejection letter lands on * Deep knowledge of how permitting actually works in Florida, Texas, or California, the codes, the departments, the local amendments, and the unwritten rules * Enough history with a jurisdiction to tell us what reliably gets approved, what comes back with comments, and what gets rejected outright * Opinions about what’s broken and no hesitation sharing them – “this is wrong because…” is exactly what we need * Open to sharing examples on applications (passed and failed) * No technical background required – your job is to tell us if the AI gets it right, not to explain how it works Show more [Apply now >](https://jobicy.com/jobs/151474-builder-architect-engineer-expert-consultant-part-time-contractor.md) > Annual salary information is not provided for this position.
