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 For AI (C4AI) is the dedicated research arm of Cohere, and our mission is to make progress on fundamental problems in Machine learning. Our mandate is to imagine the next generation of AI models and to work at the frontier of what is possible. We are a hybrid lab, with both full-time research and engineering staff in addition to an open science initiative that supports collaborative research across institutions and paths of access for independent researchers.

In this role, you will re-imagine the way humans interact with AI technology. Embedded on a research team, you will work on a full-stack project using the open code project Cohere toolkit to build in inference time features to improve algorithmic performance in real time.

This requires you to be nimble, passionate and talented about front-end development, feature development and also deeply curious about how we design the user interface of the future. You will work closely with leading researchers in AI and gain critical experience in designing interfaces that take advantage of inference time compute.

Please note: This is a 6-month scholars position, with a possibility for extension.

As an Algorithm Interface Scholar, you will:

• Ship delightful experiences for Cohere toolkit, meticulously and quickly crafting code for browser features

• Own and build robust services-oriented web experiences, our stack includes: Python and Next.js

• Keep up with the cutting edge and adopt new technologies to improve performance and reliability

You may be a good fit if you:

• You want to be part of the future of user interfaces that are deeply co-designed with AI algorithms in mind. You move fast and are excited to iterate

• You’ve shipped fast and snappy web apps loved by many users

• Think about cool features to delight users and just go ahead and try and implement them.

• You’re excited to add new technologies to your toolbox and use them where it makes sense

• Bonus: You love art and have an eye for design and a creative mindset - A plus, if you have a portfolio, GitHub or other showcases of your projects

If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you want to work really hard on a glorious mission with teammates that want the same thing, Cohere is the place for you.

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.
