“This is a builder’s job. You write the production software yourself, with the customer.”
Who it suits
A good fit if you
- Write production Python and have shipped agents that plan and carry out multi-step work
- Like taking a vague customer problem into production
- Change the plan once you’re with the customer
Think twice if you
- Haven’t shipped a retrieval system or an agent
- Want a settled spec before you build
- Don’t want regular time at customer sites
What you’d do
- Turn an unclear business problem into an agent workflow with a way to tell whether it worked.
- Design, build and deliver agents that use tools, APIs and sensitive company data.
- Ship features on North, Cohere’s agent platform, from the first concept through production.
- Step into whatever technical work the use case needs, including the frontend.
What they ask for
- You’ve built and deployed production software in Python that other people can test and operate.
- You’ve shipped retrieval systems and agents that plan multi-step work and then do it, including ReAct and Plan-and-Execute.
- You’re comfortable with frontier models, vector databases and orchestration frameworks.
- You can build evaluations that measure an agent’s accuracy, safety and latency.
How it works
- This role is offered in London, Edinburgh, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Munich or Frankfurt.
- You’d spend 20% to 40% of your time at customer sites.
