Responsibilities

  • Work closely with enterprise customers to translate high-value, ambiguous business problems into well-framed agentic workflows with clear success criteria and evaluation methodologies
  • Lead the design, build, and delivery of LLM-powered agents that reason, plan, and act across tools, APIs, and sensitive enterprise data sources, with enterprise-grade reliability and performance
  • Build and ship features for North, Cohere's AI workspace platform, across the full product lifecycle from conceptualization through production
  • Take ownership of scoping and shaping use cases end-to-end, flexing into necessary technical areas (including frontend) to drive the most effective solution
  • Contribute to shared frameworks and patterns that enable consistent, high-quality delivery across customers and teams
  • Drive clarity in ambiguous situations, build alignment, and raise engineering quality across the organization
  • Travel up to 20–40% to work on-site with customers and partners

Qualifications

  • You have hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade software in Python; you write clean, testable, observable, scalable code

  • You're deeply familiar with the LLM stack: frontier models, vector databases, and orchestration frameworks
  • You have a proven ability to build robust evaluation frameworks, moving well beyond trial and error, to measure agent accuracy, safety, and latency
  • You’re experienced working directly with customers and can lead technical discussions with enterprise stakeholders, translating ambiguous business needs into concrete technical specs
  • You have experience owning the full scope of a use case end-to-end
  • You thrive in fast-paced and ambiguous environments and can execute well even when priorities are shifting
