We are a global technology company headquartered in Toronto with key offices in London, New York City, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, Berlin and Seoul. Join us!

Why this role?

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.

This is broad product engineering work across frontend, backend, and AI-powered systems. The goal is to ship reliable software that helps customers augment or automate real business workflows with agents and automations they can trust.

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

• You have at least two years' experience
• 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’ve worked in both large enterprises and startups
• 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 have built and deployed extremely performant client-side or server-side RAG/agentic applications to millions of users.
• 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
  
  

Our stack includes Python, TypeScript with React, Postgres, and Kubernetes. We care more about strong fundamentals, product judgment, agency, and learning ability than prior experience with every part of the stack.

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.
