We're building a future for the Internet that's easy, sensible, and safe, like it used to be. Founded in 2019 and fully distributed, we're backed by Accel, CRV, Insight, Heavybit, and Uncork Capital.
About the Role

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?
Internal Infrastructure builds the infrastructure and tools used to train, evaluate, and serve Cohere's foundation models. You will work with AI researchers and ML engineers on stability, scalability, and observability. The work accelerates the models behind Cohere's platform, North.
You will run the shared Kubernetes fleets those workloads land on: multi-cloud GPU and TPU clusters, node health, performance, and the partnership with cloud providers and hardware vendors. The role includes a compensated 24x7 on-call rotation.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Deploy and operate GPU Kubernetes clusters across clouds, and bring up new hardware generations and providers.
- Work with cloud providers and hardware partners on reliability, performance, and cost, including RDMA and high-speed interconnects.
- Automate node, GPU, and fabric fault detection and remediation so most faults are fixed without a human.
- Improve fleet utilization, track cost, and cut the time it takes to get a faulty node back into service.
- Troubleshoot production failures and performance problems, and leave the system easier to operate than you found it.
We hire at more than one level. We set level based on the scope you've owned and how independently you drive work.
YOU MAY BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU HAVE
- Run GPU Kubernetes clusters with thousands of GPUs for ML or HPC workloads.
- Debugged Linux, networking, and performance problems. Familiarity with RDMA, NCCL, or accelerator health is a plus.
- Written software in Python or Go. You would rather extend a solid open-source project than rebuild it.
- Worked with researchers, ML engineers, or another team whose goals were not identical to yours.
- Found a bottleneck, proposed a fix, and driven it in a fast-moving environment.
If this does not line up exactly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply.
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.
- 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months, for either parent.
- Annual enrichment benefits:
Arts & culture, fitness/wellness, quality time, and a workspace improvement credit.
Education & learning stipend for conferences, courses, and coaching.
- 6 weeks of paid vacation (30 working days!)
- Budget for traveling to other offices if you are remote, plus an annual company offsite.
HOW AND WHERE WE WORK:
- Cohere is remote-friendly, but we also have offices in Toronto, London, New York City, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, Berlin and Seoul with more opening soon.
- For those in the office: a daily lunch program, plenty of snacks, and regular community and social events.
- For those not near an office: a co-working benefit so you can work alongside others in your city.
- Everyone receives a $500 home office stipend to set up your workspace properly.
If any of the above doesn’t line up exactly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply.
We strive to create an inclusive work environment for all; we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please submit an Accommodations Request Form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12a6IrLdF3kI2nonKSr4tiFuz18rLQbaeYV-JM9L4o9Q/edit, and we will work together to meet your needs.
We may use AI-enabled tools to screen and assess applicants against the criteria for this position. This helps our recruiters identify potentially qualified candidates, but it doesn't limit the applications our recruiters may review or consider.
Beware of Scams: Cohere will never ask for payment or third-party services (e.g., CV writing) as part of our hiring process. All legitimate roles are listed on the Cohere careers page and LinkedIn only, with all communications from Cohere employees coming from an @cohere.com or @cw.cohere email alias.

About Tailscale
Tailscale is making safe connection effortless by delivering software that makes it easy to securely interconnect people and their devices, no matter where they are. From hobbyists to multinational corporations, teams of every size use Tailscale each day to protect their networks, share access to internal tools, and more. We're building a future for the Internet that's easy, sensible, and safe, like it used to be. Founded in 2019 and fully distributed, we're backed by Accel, CRV, Insight, Heavybit, and Uncork Capital.
About the Role
We are seeking a Product Manager to own Tailscale's Identity ecosystem — the bridge between our "Zero Trust" networking philosophy and the existing identity infrastructure our customers already rely on. Identity is the foundation of access control in Tailscale; if a user cannot authenticate or authorize correctly, the network cannot be secure. In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex security protocols (OIDC, SAML, SCIM) and a seamless, "it just works" user experience.
The Identity portfolio covers the end-to-end lifecycle of a user and device within the tailnet:
Authentication:
Integrating with external Identity Providers (IdPs) so users can log in using the credentials they already have (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, etc.).
Authorization:
Defining how roles, groups, and attributes translate into granular network access policies.
Lifecycle Management:
Automating the onboarding, offboarding, and synchronization (SCIM) of users and devices as they change roles or leave organizations.
These capabilities are where Tailscale meets the customer's existing security stack. Nearly every enterprise deployment begins with an identity integration, grows through complex multi-IdP setups, and increasingly depends on automated lifecycle management for production security.
Key Responsibilities
Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Tailscale's Identity portfolio: workload and agent identity, SSO integrations, Directory Sync (SCIM), access controls and policy, user management.
Own the operator experience for admins: How IT and security teams configure identity providers, audit authentication events, and manage user, workload, and agent access policies at scale, across the admin console, API, and clients.
Build a best-in-class authentication experience for end-users: Save our users time and money by making every auth flow fast, secure, and intuitive.
Partner closely across engineering, product, and design org to ensure Tailscale’s identity service meets the needs of the broader organization and integrates tightly with other platform components.
Build systematic customer insight across the full spread of Tailscale users, from a homelab operator exposing a media server through Funnel to a regulated enterprise routing traffic across multi-region datacenters.
Turn customer signal, support patterns, cross-product requests, and competitive dynamics into roadmap priorities
What We Are Looking For
4–7 years in product management, with direct ownership of an identity product or platform.
Strong technical fluency in identity protocols: Comfortable engaging engineers as a peer on OIDC, SAML, SCIM, WebAuthn, and OAuth flows.
Experience shipping products for developer or security-focused audiences: You understand the friction points of modern IAM and know how to build tools that admins and developers actually enjoy using.
Demonstrated ability to own a product area end to end: Strategy, roadmap, execution, and the customer relationships that keep you honest.
Operational mindset: You understand that for an identity product, downtime or misconfiguration isn't just a bug—it’s a security event.
Nice to Have
Hands-on experience with Tailscale at work or home.
Background working with specific Identity Providers (Okta, Azure Entra ID/Active Directory, Google Workspace) or Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) architectures.
Experience with cloud-native identity concepts: service mesh, workload identity federation
Public technical writing, conference talks, or open-source contributions in the security or identity space.
As a company, we strive to maintain fair and equitable compensation practices within our team across all roles and all levels. Tailscale's compensation package includes base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits. The salary range displayed on each job posting represents the target range for a new hire's base salary.

About Tailscale
Tailscale is making safe connection effortless by delivering software that makes it easy to securely interconnect people and their devices, no matter where they are. From hobbyists to multinational corporations, teams of every size use Tailscale each day to protect their networks, share access to internal tools, and more. We're building a future for the Internet that's easy, sensible, and safe, like it used to be. Founded in 2019 and fully distributed, we're backed by Accel, CRV, Insight, Heavybit, and Uncork Capital.
About the Role
We are seeking a Product Manager to own Tailscale's networking features — the layer that decides how traffic finds its destination by
name
on top of Tailscale’s seamless mesh connectivity solution. Concretely, you will own four feature sets:
App Connectors
,
DNS
,
Funnel
, and
Tailscale Serve & Services
.
A tailnet gives every device an identity and an address. Networking features are what turn addresses into something a person, a script, or an AI agent can actually use — a name, a service, an app, a URL.
App Connectors
route traffic to specific SaaS and private applications by name, so access follows the app rather than the IP.
DNS
— MagicDNS, split DNS, custom name servers, search domains
Tailscale Serve & Services
make a workload — not a machine — the unit of connectivity and access: addressable, load-balanced, and durable across the instances behind it. This is the wedge that lets customers replace a service registry, and eventually much of what they use a service mesh for, with Tailscale.
Funnel
is Tailscale's ingress story: securely exposing a Service running inside the tailnet to the public internet, from a hobbyist sharing a dev server to production webhooks and public endpoints.
This is the most user-visible role in Tailscale's Dataplane Platform, and the work is as much product design as it is networking. DNS settings, connector topologies, and service definitions are configured by network engineers and IT admins in the admin console, API, and CLI, and the distance between "magical" and "unusable" is the object model, the defaults, and the error messages.

Tailscale Funnel
, and
Four ways to Tailscale a service
to learn more.
Key Responsibilities
Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Tailscale's networking features: App Connectors, DNS, Funnel, and Tailscale Services
Own the operator experience across these surfaces: how network engineers and IT admins configure, segment, monitor, and troubleshoot them at scale, in both the admin console and the CLI
Partner with GTM, Customer Success, and Solutions Engineering on production commitments and strategic deals, and champion the migration path from reverse proxies, bastion hosts, cloud ingress, and service meshes to Tailscale
Build systematic customer insight across the full spread of Tailscale users, from a homelab operator exposing a media server through Funnel to a large enterprise replacing its service registry
What We Are Looking For
7+ years in product management, including direct ownership of an application-layer connectivity product: reverse proxies, ingress controllers or gateways, API gateways, service mesh or service registry, DNS and traffic management, secure tunneling and exposure products, or identity-aware proxy connectors
A track record of turning a complex networking system into a legible product surface: you can point to an object model, a set of defaults, or a configuration experience you designed and explain why it was right
End-to-end ownership of a product area: strategy, requirements, launch (docs, enablement, rollout), and the iteration after launch
Evidence of data-informed decisions — metrics you defined, instrumentation you pushed for, and at least one time the data changed your mind
Nice To Have
Experience with Product Led Growth and how to balance that with enterprise buying motions
Kubernetes networking: ingress, Gateway API, operators, or service exposure patterns
Hands-on experience with secure tunneling and exposure products (ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel, Cloudflare Access, Teleport, Zscaler Private Access) as a builder or a heavy user
Abuse prevention, rate limiting, or trust and safety work on a publicly exposed service
Familiarity with VPN and tunneling protocols (WireGuard, IPsec), BGP, cloud VPC peering, or PrivateLink-style private connectivity
Public technical writing, conference talks, or open-source contributions in networking

About Tailscale
Tailscale is making safe connection effortless by delivering software that makes it easy to securely interconnect people and their devices, no matter where they are. From hobbyists to multinational corporations, teams of every size use Tailscale each day to protect their networks, share access to internal tools, and more. We're building a future for the Internet that's easy, sensible, and safe, like it used to be. Founded in 2019 and fully distributed, we're backed by Accel, CRV, Insight, Heavybit, and Uncork Capital.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Release Manager to own how Tailscale ships our product, both internally and to customers. You’ll build and run our release coordination process and create the operational practices that coordinate product and engineering.
You’ll work closely with engineering leads, product managers, TPMs and support. At first you’ll focus on building release management from the ground up: setting the release cadence, defining roles, building tooling, and agreeing on norms with the teams involved in releases. Later, it will grow into creating processes around other parts of how product and engineering collaborate, like operational metrics.
You should understand how software gets shipped, including branching strategies, build pipelines, feature flags, and rollout mechanics. Your technical aptitude will allow you to design release processes that engineers trust and use.
Tailscale moves fast and your processes should help us maintain our speed. When a process works well, it is nearly invisible - it keeps the right people informed, stays out of engineers’ way, and gives the team a plan.
Key Responsibilities
Design, implement, and continuously improve Tailscale’s release management process: including release cadence, readiness criteria, rollout coordination, and go/no-go decisions
Build and maintain the tooling, templates, runbooks, and documentation that make release processes repeatable and low-friction
Partner with engineering leads and product managers to surface risk early and drive resolution before it becomes a crisis
Define and track operational metrics that reflect the health of our release practices (e.g., release frequency, change failure rate)
Keep releases on schedule by facilitating cross-team planning rituals that keep engineering and product coordinated
Identify and drive systemic improvements to how we operate, using data and judgment to prioritize what actually matters
What We Are Looking For
5+ years in engineering operations, release management, or a closely related role at a software company
Direct experience building or significantly improving release management processes
Technical fluency: you understand software development deeply enough to have credible conversations with engineers about build systems, deployment pipelines, branching strategies, and production operations
Strong instincts for what process is worth having and what’s just overhead, and optimizing process for trust and adoption
Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to build structure from scratch
Nice to Have
Experience with both client and server software release processes
Experience at a developer tools, infrastructure, or security-focused SaaS company
Familiarity with DORA metrics and how to use them to drive meaningful improvement
Experience with feature flag systems, progressive rollouts, or canary deployments as release tools
Experience scaling operational practices through periods of rapid team or product growth

Manage healthy conflict by moderating design discussions and cultivating a positive culture of feedback with candor and kindness
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams across the organization to complete complex projects spanning multiple technical domains
Drive planning across multiple time horizons, from immediate tactical needs to long-term strategic direction.
What We Are Looking For
Demonstrated leadership with substantial experience in managing and mentoring Engineering teams, including performance evaluations, career development, and fostering a collaborative work environment
Background building and operating production services with high availability and performance targets.
Expertise managing on call rotations and incident response
