About the role

Product Manager responsible for the North agent harness and modelling interface, overseeing execution, context engineering, and the co-evolution between harnesses and modeling. Role focuses on making North agents reliable, scalable, and production-ready within Cohere’s North platform.

Responsibilities

  • Define and own the roadmap for North's agent harness, including the agent loop, context engineering layer, tool orchestration, sandbox execution, and sub-agent delegation
  • Serve as the primary interface between North engineering and Cohere's Modeling team, ensuring new harness capabilities are validated before being built and that neither team paints itself into a corner
  • Own North's agentic evaluation framework, ensuring evals are compatible with both the North harness and Modeling's training infrastructure, and that they serve as a reliable bridge between product and research
  • Engage enterprise customers to surface real-world agentic failures and translate findings into concrete product and model requirements
  • Partner with the agentic expert modeling team to define goals that maximize the impact of our models and prioritize model capabilities and evals most critical for delivering on those goals. Establish a clear roadmap for our agentic modeling capabilities.
  • Stay current with the open-source and commercial agent ecosystem and drive adoption decisions that keep North's architecture aligned with emerging standards.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of product management experience as a research PM, in agentic AI systems, or applied ML products
  • Deep understanding of agentic harnesses, including the latest paid and open source offerings
  • Deep understanding of modern LLM agent architectures, including multi-agent systems, tool-augmented reasoning, memory and retrieval, programmatic orchestration, RAG, and long-horizon execution
  • Strong grasp of agentic evaluation design, including how to measure task completion, failure recovery, and long-horizon reliability, and how to diagnose model vs. scaffolding gaps
  • Technically deep enough to contribute to architecture decisions at the implementation level: comfortable reviewing and shaping design docs, reasoning about async execution patterns, sandboxed environments, filesystem design, and the tradeoffs that come with building harness capabilities into a production platform
  • Ability to flex between ML research conversations and engineering architecture discussions with equal fluency
  • Track record of shipping platform-layer products with demonstrated impact on reliability, performance, or capability.
