This role combines advanced AI technology with enterprise-grade security and privacy requirements. The position involves building autonomous agents, implementing features for the AI workspace platform, and working with sensitive enterprise data in low-resource environments.

The ideal candidate will have significant experience with Python production deployments and building scalable RAG/agentic applications. The role requires someone who can work across the full stack and is comfortable in fast-paced environments where priorities may shift. Experience in both large enterprises and startups is valuable, as it combines the need for enterprise-grade security with startup agility.

Cohere offers an impressive benefits package including 6 weeks of vacation, comprehensive health benefits, parental leave, and various stipends for personal development. The company maintains a hybrid work environment with offices in major tech hubs and provides co-working stipends for remote work flexibility.

They're building systems for content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents. The team consists of world-class researchers, engineers, and designers who are passionate about their craft and committed to customer success.

This role is particularly exciting as it involves working on North, Cohere's secure AI workspace platform that allows enterprises to deploy AI while maintaining control over sensitive data. The position offers the unique challenge of building highly secure and efficient systems, sometimes requiring creative solutions due to security constraints on common libraries and tools.
