Bias to action.
You ship. You write the smallest version that proves the idea, then you make it good. You do not wait for permission to fix what is obviously broken.
Careers
We hire when the roleis unambiguous.
TerraBrains is early-stage and founder-led. There are no open roles yet — we post a role only when we know exactly what someone will own, never to pad a careers page.
What we look for · 01
The bar — and what gets you in the door.
02
Deep engineering.
You can explain the system you built down to its hard edges. You read the source. You leave the codebase more legible than you found it.
03
Geotech or platform background welcome.
We hire from both sides — engineers who have logged boreholes, and platform engineers who care about audit chains and offline-first systems. Either path counts.
04
Direct, honest, kind.
We say what we mean, we ask for what we need, and we assume good faith. No politics, no posturing, no theatre. Disagree in the open and move forward together.
How to reach us
Email what you have built.
Skip the cover letter. Send a link or two — a project, a system, a paper, a pull request — that shows how you think. If we are working on something adjacent we will get back to you within a week.
We answer every serious enquiry. We will not respond to mass-blast applications.
How we work · 02
What to expect on the inside.
- Async-first and remote. Writing before meetings, video only when it earns its place.
- Tight feedback loops — early-access users hear back in days, not quarters.
- Nobody is more than one step from a customer conversation. The product is what they need, not what we wish.
- You would own a surface end-to-end. Field, lab, reports, audit, AI — pick the one you cannot stop thinking about.
