Who are we?
Cohere is focused on building and deploying large language model (LLM) AI into enterprises in a safe and responsible way that drives human productivity, and creates magical new ways to interact with technology and real business value. We’re a team of highly motivated and experienced engineers, innovators, and disruptors looking to change the face of technology.
Our goals are ambitious, but also concrete and practical. Cohere wants to fundamentally change how businesses operate, making everyone more productive and able to focus on doing better what they do best. Every day, our team breaks new ground, as we build transformational AI technology and products for enterprise and developers to harness the power of LLMs.
Cohere was founded by three global leaders in AI development, including our CEO, Aidan Gomez, who co-created the Transformer, which makes LLMs possible. Collectively, we're driven by the belief that our technology has the potential to revolutionize the way enterprises, their employees, and customers engage with technology through language.
Cohere’s broader research team is world-renowned, having contributed to the development of sentence transformers for semantic search, dynamic adversarial data collection and red teaming, and retrieval augmented generation, often referred to as “RAG,” among other technological breakthroughs.
We have been deliberate in assembling a team of operational leaders with industry-leading experience, with backgrounds working at the most sophisticated, demanding, and respected enterprises in the world. Cohere’s operational leaders have built, scaled, and led multi-billion product lines and businesses at Google, Apple, Rakuten, YouTube, AWS, and Cisco.
The Cohere team is a collective from all walks of life, from people who left college to start businesses, to some of the most experienced people from globally renowned companies. We believe a diverse team is the key to a safer, more responsible technology, and that different experiences and backgrounds enable us to tackle problems from all angles and avoid blindspots.
There’s no better time to play a role in defining the future of AI, and its impact on the world.
Why this role?
The Cohere Modelling team is at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies, including Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

As a Full Stack Software Engineer on our RAG team, you will play a pivotal role in harnessing the power of Retrieval Augmented Generation. Your primary focus will be on frontend development, data engineering, and collaborating closely with our ML teams to support them implement and optimise RAG models. You'll have the unique opportunity to shape the future of information retrieval and content generation through RAG.
Join us and be part of the innovative RAG journey, where you'll contribute to reshaping how knowledge is retrieved, processed, and generated in the realm of natural language understanding and generation.
In this role, you will:
- Develop annotation interfaces that facilitate effective knowledge retrieval
- Optimise data pipelines to support RAG model training and inference
- Build essential tools that enhance the RAG workflow
- Collaborate seamlessly with cross-functional teams, leveraging the capabilities of RAG in our projects
