AI Summary

## The role, at a glance.

Brain Co. seeks an experienced permitting and plan-review professional to serve as a domain expert supporting an AI-native operating system for regulated institutions. The role centers on interpreting building codes, reviewing permit applications and construction documents, and translating real reviewer decision-making into guidance, labeled examples, and evaluation criteria for product and engineering teams. The successful candidate will apply practical knowledge of IBC, IRC, state overlays, jurisdictional amendments, and permitting workflows rather than process a conventional permit queue. The position also includes limited product, documentation, customer discovery, onboarding, and go-to-market support.

Sample interview questionsHow would you translate a nuanced building-code requirement into a review rubric that an AI and a human reviewer can both use?I would first identify the governing code edition, local amendments, occupancy or project context, and the exact decision point. I would then convert the requirement into observable checks, required evidence, exception paths, severity levels, and a clear approve/comment/escalate outcome, supported by representative examples.

Describe how you approach a plan set that appears incomplete at intake.

I compare the submission against the jurisdiction's intake requirements and the project scope, then identify missing sheets, calculations, specifications, forms, or coordination details. I document each deficiency with its practical review impact and provide a specific, actionable correction request rather than a vague rejection.

What is an example of an issue that may be code-compliant in theory but still requires clarification during plan review?

A design may show a potentially compliant egress arrangement but omit dimensions, occupant-load calculations, door hardware details, or a clear travel-path depiction. In that case, I would not assume compliance; I would request the missing documentation needed to verify the code path and record why it is necessary.

How would you handle conflicting interpretations between jurisdictions or reviewers?

I would separate the base-code requirement from local amendments, adopted policies, and established reviewer practice. I would preserve the source and rationale for each interpretation, seek clarification from the authority having jurisdiction where appropriate, and encode the resulting guidance with jurisdiction-specific applicability.

How do you provide useful feedback on AI-generated permitting or plan-review outputs?

I evaluate whether the output identifies the correct issue, cites the applicable requirement accurately, distinguishes facts from assumptions, and recommends an appropriate reviewer action. I provide precise feedback on false positives, missed conditions, unsupported conclusions, and the evidence that should have been considered.

## About this role.

### 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

We are hiring a Permitting & Plan Review Expert to serve as a full-time domain expert for our engineering, product, design, data, and go-to-market teams.

This is not a traditional production review role where your main job is to clear a queue of permits. Instead, you will help Brain Co. understand how real permit reviewers make decisions, interpret building codes, evaluate applications, and handle edge cases across jurisdictions.

The role is roughly:

80% permitting, plan review, code interpretation, and application review

20% product, project management, documentation, and GTM support

What You’ll Do

• Answer nuanced permitting and code interpretation questions from engineering, product, and design teams

• Review permit applications, plan sets, submittals, and AI outputs to identify what is correct, incorrect, missing, or ambiguous

• Help define what a real reviewer would approve, reject, or send back for revisions

• Label applications and review examples to help train and evaluate our ML systems

• Synthesize jurisdiction-specific requirements, local amendments, and reviewer practices into clear internal guidance

• Speak with other SMEs, reviewers, or jurisdiction contacts when needed to understand local practices

• Help create internal review rubrics, checklists, documentation, and benchmark examples

• Occasionally support customer conversations, product discovery, onboarding, or GTM work as a domain expert

Who You Are

• ~5+ years of hands-on plan review, plans examination, code consulting, private provider, building official, or permitting experience

• Working fluency in the IBC, IRC, and at least one state building code overlay

• Ability to independently read full plan sets, including architectural, civil, and structural drawings, and identify what is missing, why it is missing, and what a reviewer would likely flag

• Ability to articulate code logic in a structured way

• Strong understanding of how building codes are applied in real-world permitting and plan review workflows

• Experience reviewing permit applications, construction documents, plan sets, and submittal packages

• Understanding of both sides of the desk: what architects, builders, and applicants submit during feasibility or intake, and what reviewers look for when determining completeness, compliance, and approval readiness

• Ability to explain technical code and permitting issues clearly to engineers, product managers, designers, and non-experts

• Strong judgment about what matters in a real review and what typically triggers comments, revisions, rejection, or escalation

• Comfort reviewing AI/software-generated outputs and giving direct, specific feedback

• Strong written communication and documentation skills

Bonus Points For

• ICC Certified Plans Examiner (CPE) credential

• Experience reviewing across multiple jurisdictions, states, municipalities, or private provider environments

• Experience in California, Florida, Texas, or other high-volume permitting markets

• Experience reviewing residential, commercial, zoning, or structural permits

• Experience managing reviewers, creating SOPs, or supporting permitting process improvement

• PE, RA, CASp, or similar professional credentials

• Experience supporting product, software, data labeling, AI evaluation, or workflow automation efforts
