Engineering Manager, FDE Infrastructure (NORAM)

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!

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Deployment Engineering team. This isn't a typical management role — we need someone who leads from the front, gets their hands dirty, and drives impact. You'll manage a team of Forward Deployed Engineers who are on the front lines of deploying Cohere's North platform into customer environments. You should be ready to be a force to be reckoned with.

Optimize performance for OpenSearch, databases, and other K8s services

Define scaling guidelines for GPU and CPU compute resources

What We're Looking For

5+ years of experience in software engineering with demonstrated leadership

Hands-on experience deploying enterprise software at scale

Strong expertise in cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP)

Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, and CI/CD pipelines

High agency — you don't wait for permission to solve problems

A doer mentality — you dig in and get stuff done
