Who are we?

Our mission is to scale intelligence to serve humanity. We’re training and deploying frontier models for developers and enterprises who are building AI systems to power magical experiences like content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI.

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. We like to work hard and move fast to do what’s best for our customers.

Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are passionate about their craft. Each person is one of the best in the world at what they do. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives is a requirement for building great products.

Join us on our mission and shape the future!

Why this role?

Cohere customers self-serve our API without any intervention. This team unlocks the complex technology we build for customers to understand, trust, and pay for.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

• Improve the platform’s auth, billing, and payment systems

• Add new features to the interactive Playground where customers can try our models

• Implement new platform features for managing deployments

• 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 reinvent the wheel, and won’t be able to use the most popular libraries or tooling

You may be a good fit if:

• You have 5+ years of experience writing clean backend code. Our stack includes: Golang and React.

• You’ve built payment systems and have experience with subscription or usage-based SaaS, and/or products with a freemium model.

• 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!

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. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please submit an Accommodations Request Form, and we will work together to meet your needs.
