ABOUT BRAIN CO. & GOVERNMENT STRATEGY Government services touch every part of daily life, but the systems behind them are often slow, frustrating, and decades out of date. A permit that should take days takes months. A license renewal that could be instant requires stacks of paper and weeks of waiting. Brain Co. is changing that. We build AI software that makes government work better for the people it serves and the people who work inside it. Our platform cuts through bureaucratic bottlenecks, so citizens get faster answers and government employees spend less time on paperwork and more time on work that actually matters. In Qatar, we've already proven it: our platform has reduced permit processing from months to minutes. We started with construction permitting, a $1T+ bottleneck that affects housing, infrastructure, and economic growth across the country. But permitting is just our entry point. The same problems exist across dozens of government workflows, and we intend to solve them. ABOUT THE ROLE This is one of the most consequential roles at Brain Co.
