Build the platform we want to use.
braincell is a small team of engineers, designers, and AI researchers who think agents should ship working software, not slide decks. We hire async-first across roles and timezones.
How we work
Models do the typing.
Our job is to make the agent right, not to write the code. We optimize for prompt design, eval pipelines, and well-shaped tools.
Async-first, everywhere.
We hire across timezones. Default to writing, default to recording, default to making decisions reversible.
Ship to the customer, not the demo.
Every change rides a live sandbox first. If it can't survive a real microVM, it doesn't merge.
Taste is a load-bearing skill.
Designers, engineers, and researchers all touch the visual surface. We hire for taste the way we hire for ability.
