WHO ARE WE?
Cohere is the leading security-first enterprise AI company. We build cutting-edge foundation AI models and end-to-end products that are designed to solve real-world business problems.
We’re training and deploying frontier models for enterprises who are building AI systems. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI and we are looking for folks that want to be part of that.
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. Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are all passionate about their craft.
We are a global technology company headquartered in Toronto with key offices in London, New York City, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, Berlin and Seoul. Join us!
Why this team?
The GPU Clusters team builds and operates the superclusters that train Cohere’s frontier models. We sit at the intersection of hardware, distributed systems, and AI research. We work with cloud providers, researchers, and other infrastructure teams on problems few companies get to take on.
As an Engineering Manager, you’ll lead a team of engineers who care deeply about GPU infrastructure. You’ll set technical direction, grow people, and help the company scale a rapidly growing compute footprint.
As an Engineering Manager, you will:
- Hire, mentor, and grow a team of GPU infrastructure engineers, including performance, career development, and technical guidance on hard infrastructure problems
- Own the technical roadmap for the fleet: how we deploy, operate, and scale Kubernetes clusters, including workload scheduling, hardware fault detection, and performance
- Partner with researchers and ML engineers so the training and inference stack works well on new GPU architectures
- Work with cross-functional stakeholders such as Capacity, Finance, Legal, Security, and other infrastructure teams on planning, cost, compliance, and shared dependencies
- Drive operational excellence: observability for GPU utilization and reliability, automation of cluster provisioning, cost optimization, and vendor relationships
You may be a good fit if you have:
- Experience managing engineering or SRE teams, with a focus on technical mentorship, hiring, and growth, including in remote, distributed settings
- A background running large Kubernetes compute fleets in production, including in multi-cloud environments: multi-cluster operations, scheduling, node health at scale, and familiarity with IaC and infrastructure monitoring
- You’ve gone deep in one of the layers that make a GPU training fleet work, whether that’s cluster-wide operations, GPU networking, or hardware, and you’re willing to get hands-on and learn the rest
- Experience with cost optimization and capacity planning for GPU infrastructure
- A track record of partnering with researchers or ML engineers, and of making data-informed tradeoffs across reliability, cost, and delivery

ABOUT NORTH:
North https://cohere.com/north is Cohere's cutting-edge AI workspace platform, designed to revolutionize the way enterprises utilize AI. It offers a secure and customizable environment, allowing companies to deploy AI while maintaining control over sensitive data. North integrates seamlessly with existing workflows, providing a trusted platform that connects AI agents with workplace tools and applications.
WHY THIS ROLE?
This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how enterprises harness the power of AI in real-world applications. As a bridge between our core North product and our clients’ engineering teams, you’ll be at the forefront of solving complex problems and securely integrating AI into critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, and telecommunications.
We’re looking for Software Engineers with Applied AI experience who can own the design, build, and deployment of agentic workflows powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), from early prototypes to production-grade AI agents, to deliver concrete business value in enterprise workflows. You’ll work closely with customers on real-world business problems, often building first-of-their-kind agent workflows that integrate LLMs with tools, APIs, and data sources. While our pace is startup-fast, the bar is enterprise-high: agents must be reliable, observable, safe, and auditable from day one.
Note: between 20 - 40% travel anticipated.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:
- Work closely with our 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, our AI workspace platform, working across the full product lifecycle from conceptualization through production
- Take ownership of scoping and shaping use cases end-to-end, flexing into whatever technical area the problem demands (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
YOU MAY BE A GOOD FIT IF:
- You have hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade software in Python; you write clean, testable, observable, scalable code
- You've built and deployed highly performant RAG and agentic applications, including agents that plan and execute multi-step tasks using patterns like ReAct or Plan-and-Execute
- 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
IT'S A BONUS IF YOU HAVE:
- Experience setting architectural standards for AI and agentic systems across distributed teams
- Experience flexing into unfamiliar technical areas, such as frontend, when the problem calls for it
- Exposure to regulated or sensitive industry environments (finance, healthcare, telecoms)
- Experience with enterprise security, compliance, or auditability requirements for AI systems
FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES AT COHERE ENJOY THESE PERKS:
- A weekly lunch stipend of $75/£75 or equivalent in your local currency for lunch.
- Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget for mental health.
- RRSP matching, 401K, Pension Scheme.
