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.

As a Senior/Staff Software Engineer, 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) Python in production

• You have built and deployed extremely performant client-side or server-side RAG/agentic applications to millions of users

• You have strong coding abilities and are comfortable working across the stack. You’re able to read and understand, and even fix issues outside of the main code base

• You’ve worked in both large enterprises and startups

• You excel in fast-paced environments and can execute while priorities and objectives are a moving target

If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you want to work really hard on a glorious mission with teammates that want the same thing, Cohere is the place for you.

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.
