Cohere at a glance

Enterprise AI company building secure, privately deployable foundation models and an agentic workspace (North) for regulated businesses.

Cohere builds enterprise-grade AI foundation models (generation, embedding, reranking, and speech) plus North, a turnkey AI workspace, all designed to run privately inside a customer's own cloud or on-prem environment. Its whole differentiator is data sovereignty: enterprises deploy and customize the models without their data ever leaving their control.

Job description

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.

Why this role? North is Cohere's cutting-edge AI workspace platform, designed to transform how enterprises leverage AI.

  • You’re able to read and understand, and even fix issues outside of the main codebase
  • You have experience bootstrapping new projects
  • You excel in fast-paced environments and can execute while priorities and objectives are a moving target
  • Bonus: you’ve worked on audio features for apps
