Role

Who you are

Have shipped (lots of) fullstack code (Python and React) in production
You excel in fast-paced environments and can execute while priorities and objectives are a moving target
You have strong coding abilities and are comfortable working across the stack
You have built and deployed extremely performant client-side or server-side RAG/agentic applications to millions of users
You think like a product owner, not just an engineer. You ask "should we build this?" before "how do we build this?"
You have strong opinions on what makes a great user experience and aren't afraid to push back on designs or specs that don't serve the user
You've owned features end-to-end: from understanding the user problem, to shipping, to measuring impact
If any of the above doesn’t line up exactly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply

What the job involves

The Data Abstractions & Tools team is the group inside North responsible for how users bring their data into the platform and put it to work. We own the systems that let users upload, organize, and share their files and knowledge bases, the framework for extending agents with skills and third-party integrations, and the data-sync pipeline that connects enterprise data sources to North's agents
We are a small team owning a wide surface area, and we need a senior generalist who can move freely across backend and frontend as the roadmap demands. You will pick up any layer of a feature, from API design and database schema to the frontend that sits on top of it, and own it end-to-end
Design, build, ship, and maintain features across the full stack for our roadmap surfaces: large-scale file upload and management, shared knowledge bases, the agent extensibility framework (skills and integrations), and the pipeline that syncs external enterprise data into the platform
Own features end-to-end, from technical design through implementation, testing, launch, and iteration
Write and ship minimal code that runs in low-resource environments with stringent deployment mechanisms. As security and privacy are paramount, you will sometimes need to re-invent the wheel and won't be able to use the most popular libraries or tooling
Collaborate closely with Product, UX, and the modeling team to validate requirements and prototype quickly
Raise the engineering bar: patterns, testing discipline, code review, and mentoring across the team
Use AI actively in your work, while staying accountable for the quality and reliability of what you ship

Our take

Many businesses are now faced with the challenge of adopting advanced AI safely and securely. While AI tools like ChatGPT are making headlines, companies (especially those in regulated industries such as banking, telecoms, or government services) worry about privacy, compliance, and control over their sensitive data. Cohere addresses these concerns by offering AI solutions that can be trained on a company's internal data and, importantly, run on their own infrastructure rather than relying on external cloud providers. And in a world where data breaches and regulatory scrutiny are constant threats, this focus on trust and security is key.

In a competitive landscape dominated by giants like OpenAI, Google, and Elon Musk's xAI, Cohere is setting itself apart by targeting businesses exclusively. Its approach has earned it contracts with some big names, like Royal Bank of Canada, Fujitsu, LG, Oracle, and Dell. By focusing on reliability and enterprise adoption rather than viral consumer appeal, Cohere has carved out a strong niche for itself.

This isn't going unnoticed either, as the company recently raised $500M, boosting its valuation to $6.8B, and brought on board top talent from Meta and Uber to strengthen its leadership team. Alongside this, it's doubled its annual recurring revenue to $100M in 2025 and is aiming to hit $200M by year-end. With its North platform for AI agents and a lean cost structure compared with larger rivals, Cohere is very much ready for more growth.
