Who are we?
Cohere is the leading security-first enterprise AI company. We build cutting-edge foundation AI models and end-to-end products that are designed to solve real-world business problems.
We’re training and deploying frontier models for enterprises who are building AI systems. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI and we are looking for folks that want to be part of that.
We obsess over what we build. Each one of us is responsible for contributing to increasing the capabilities of our models and the value they drive for our customers. Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are all passionate about their craft.
We are a global technology company co-headquartered in Toronto and San Francisco, with key offices in London, New York City, Montreal, Seoul, Germany and Paris. Join us!
About North:
North is Cohere's cutting-edge AI workspace platform, designed to revolutionize the way enterprises utilize AI. It offers a secure and customizable environment, allowing companies to deploy AI while maintaining control over sensitive data. North integrates seamlessly with existing workflows, providing a trusted platform that connects AI agents with workplace tools and applications.
In this role, you will:
Build and ship features for North, our AI workspace platform
Develop autonomous agents that talk to sensitive enterprise data
Write and ship minimal code that runs in low-resource environments, and has highly stringent deployment mechanisms
As security and privacy are paramount, you will sometimes need to re-invent the wheel, and won’t be able to use the most popular libraries or tooling
Collaborate with researchers to productionize state-of-the-art models and techniques
You may be a good fit if:
Have shipped (lots of) fullstack code (Python and React) in production
You excel in fast-paced environments and can execute while priorities and objectives are a moving target
You have strong coding abilities and are comfortable working across the stack.
You have built and deployed extremely performant client-side or server-side RAG/agentic applications to millions of users.
You think like a product owner, not just an engineer — you ask "should we build this?" before "how do we build this?"
You have strong opinions on what makes a great user experience and aren't afraid to push back on designs or specs that don't serve the user
You've owned features end-to-end: from understanding the user problem, to shipping, to measuring impact
Bonus: You love art and have an eye for design and a creative mindset - A plus, if you have a portfolio, GitHub or other showcases of your projects
If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply!
We value and celebrate diversity and strive to create an inclusive work environment for all. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please submit an Accommodations Request Form, and we will work together to meet your needs.
We may use AI-enabled tools to screen and assess applicants against the criteria for this position. This helps our recruiters identify potentially qualified candidates, but it doesn't limit the applications our recruiters may review or consider.
