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!

Modeling Product Management at Cohere

The role of a modelling PM at Cohere is unique. You will be working to define some of the highest impact products ever built in close partnerships with many of the best ML and AI researchers in the world. You will therefore need exceptional product and technical skills.

You will make full use of your product experience and insight to understand the paradigm shift that enterprises are going through and how new use cases and ways of working are emerging as a result of the technologies Cohere is working on. You will combine this with your deep technical understanding of what the technology is capable of, as well as its limitations, to define the product strategy for your area.

You will also work down in the detail alongside your ML colleagues, understanding what’s easy and what’s hard, and the technical and organizational challenges that need to be overcome to get things done. The boundary between product and technical work is often blurred. You will need the confidence and trust of the MLEs to make priority decisions and drive the strategy which connects their work to customer outcomes and commercial impact for Cohere.

The Code Generation Role

One of the most exciting applications for Generative AI is it's use in software development and code generation.

In this role you will be working as part of the core team on all aspects of code generation. As well as understanding where generative AI can be applied in current software development tooling you will also be thinking much broader to push at the limits of what non-coders can achieve using natural language and other interaction modalities. You will be working to understand where our models are weak, where they are strong, and how they need to get better. You will need to understand the data we need to train on in order to improve and how to prioritise data, evals, use cases across the many demans placed on the coding team from all sides. You will also be working closely with the tools and agents team since code generation is one of the key ways in which agents interact with the outside world though APIs.

This is a high-impact role which is fundamental for Cohere’s success, therefore, we're open to considering candidates at Staff and Senior Staff levels.

Team and Company Impact

You will need a scrappy, startup mentality and thrive in an environment of collaborative and creative chaos.

You will have a proven ability to bring meaning and strategy which helps point the way forward.

Cohere is still a small organization. The breadth of your role will be enormous and the potential for impact almost unlimited.

• At least 5 years of product management experience, understanding customer needs, and launching successful products.
• At least 2 years product management experience guiding the work of research-inspired teams building AI models and/or related products.
• A strong technical background and understanding from working hands on with NLP, LLMs or other AI technologies, either as an MLE, a data scientist, or as part of a postgraduate degree or research program.

• [Bonus] Bachelor’s or postgrad degree in CS, ML or related field, or a background in machine learning, algorithms, large scale systems, and statistics
• [Bonus] Experience with LLMs, code generation, or building products loved by many developers

If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you consider yourself a thoughtful worker, a lifelong learner, and a kind and playful team member, Cohere is the place for you.
