- 🧠 Why should I join Brainbase and not start my own startup?
If you’re accepted into our team, there is no question that we believe you’re capable of running your company. In fact you can be sure that we have all the faith in you that you’ll probably start your own unicorn at some point. But startups are (famously) hard, and it’s usually good practice to see how a good one is run before you start your own. This is truer than ever with the current AI boom, where you really want to see what sets a great AI company from a mediocre one.
As a founding member of our team, you’ll get to experience all the great parts of being a founder (autonomy, talking to customers, shipping, culture creation) without any of the overhead (fundraising, operations, taxes). In the end, if you choose to leave to start your own journey, we’ll do everything we can to support you.
- 🧠 I’d like to join, but I don’t think I’m founding engineer material
If you’re in doubt, and satisfy the Must Have’s from above, you should apply. We love having exceptional people join our team in any capacity and we might end up seeing something in you that you don’t yet yourself.
- 🧠 What’s the application process like?
We vary the application process based on what we can already gather from your resume and previous experiences but you should expect (1) a screening phone call, (2) technical screen (take home or over Zoom) and (3) paid trial for a week at the offices.
