Builder/Architect/Engineer Expert Consultant (Part-Time Contractor)

Brain Co. is at the leading edge of productionizing artificial intelligence for real world problems, propelling advancements and shaping the future with pioneering work. They are seeking part-time advisors who have hands-on experience with permit submissions to help shape AI Permitting in the US.

Responsibilities:

• 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

Requirements:

• 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
