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!
Please note that this is not a live role. We are grateful for your enthusiasm and interest in Cohere and encourage you to submit your resume for future consideration. Should a suitable position become available, we will review your application and reach out to discuss potential opportunities.
Why this role?
Design and implement novel research ideas, ship state of the art models to production, and maintain deep connections to academia. We have one of the highest ratios of compute to engineers in the world. We do not delineate strongly between engineering and research. Everyone will contribute to writing production code and conducting research depending on individual interest and organizational needs. We have all the compute, data, and talent available for you to do your best work.
