Data Engineer, Data Foundations

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 role?

We're building the foundational infrastructure that will define how the world thinks about and deploys AI, and we want the sharpest, most curious people to help us do it. As a member of our Analytics & Data Insights team, you'll tackle the kind of problems that don't have textbook answers yet, launch products that didn't exist a year ago, and help enterprises understand what foundational AI actually means for their bottom line.

As a Data Engineer, you will:

Work directly on new customer experiences built on one of the most advanced AI systems in the world

Collaborate daily with researchers and engineers who are some of the best in the world at what they do

Run implementations end-to-end and see initiatives through to real outcomes

Partner across research, marketing, sales, and finance to help define how Cohere grows, with your recommendations feeding directly into products and strategy

You may be a good fit if you have:

5+ years of experience working on production-grade data processing systems

Strong command of Python and SQL

Experience with distributed data processing frameworks such as Apache Beam, Spark, or Flink, alongside large-scale data system design

The ability to transform unstructured data into performant datasets in relational databases and blob storage

Familiarity with modern analytics stack tooling such as BigQuery, Airflow, or dbt

Knowledge of Java or Golang (nice to have)

Experience with Kubernetes (nice to have)

Genuine excitement about AI - you follow the research, have opinions, and enjoy being in the weeds

Comfort operating at the edge of what's known, with a desire to build something genuinely new rather than optimise what already exists
