At Brain Co., your work will be deployed in the real world, not stuck in research. We move fast, with more demand than we can serve, and are looking for exceptional people to take ownership from day one.
About the RoleAs an AI Product Intern, you will work closely with engineers, researchers, and product leaders to help design, build, and deploy AI-powered software solving real-world problems. This is a highly hands-on role where you’ll gain exposure to the full product lifecycle — from understanding customer needs to shipping production-grade AI applications.
You’ll contribute directly to live projects used by governments, healthcare systems, and industrial partners, while learning how cutting-edge AI is turned into real, scalable products.
In This Role, You Will:Build & Ship Real Products: Support the design and development of AI-powered features across front-end, back-end, and data workflows. Help prototype and ship internal tools and customer-facing applications using modern web technologies
Learn Product + Engineering in Practice: Work with product managers and engineers to translate customer problems into clear product requirements. Gain exposure to how AI models are integrated into real-world software systems
Collaborate Closely: Partner with engineers, researchers, and operators to test, iterate, and improve AI-driven workflows. Participate in design discussions, sprint planning, and code reviews
Optimize & Improve: Assist with improving performance, reliability, and usability of deployed applications. Help analyze data, evaluate AI outputs, and iterate based on real customer feedback
Make a Real Impact: Contribute to projects modernizing government workflows, improving healthcare outcomes, or optimizing critical infrastructure. See your work deployed and used by real users — not just internal demos
You Will Thrive If You:
Are currently pursuing (or recently completed) a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, AI, or a related field.
Have experience with software development fundamentals (through coursework, internships, or personal projects).
Are familiar with or excited to learn technologies like Python, TypeScript, React, REST APIs, and cloud platforms
Are curious about AI systems, product thinking, and real-world applications of machine learning
Enjoy solving ambiguous problems and learning quickly in fast-paced environments
Communicate clearly, collaborate well, and take ownership of your work
Are excited to work directly on impactful problems rather than purely theoretical projects
