Member of Technical Staff (Agent Code)

• Code-generating LLMs and autonomous agents are revolutionizing how software is built and tasks are automated
• At Cohere, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with these technologies for enterprises, and we’re looking for a senior member for the Agent Code team
• You’ll be at the forefront of research and engineering, driving the development of cutting-edge code LLMs and agent systems that can interact with the digital world to solve complex tasks with minimal human oversight
• This role is hands-on and research-driven
• You’ll dive into the latest literature on code LLMs and agents, experiment with frontier models, and collaborate with a team of talented engineers and researchers to build scalable, production-ready solutions
• At Cohere, we blend engineering and research seamlessly—everyone contributes to both, depending on their interests and organizational needs
• We provide access to world-class compute resources, data, and talent to ensure you can do your best work
• Stay up-to-date with the latest research in code LLMs, agents, and related fields, implementing novel ideas into our systems
• Design and implement scalable strategies to train code models, and deploy agent frameworks for inference and sampling. You will be collaborating with the pretraining team, create SFT trajectories and work on existing and new RL algorithms
• Hillclimb on existing benchmarks and design new ones that reflect the needs of our enterprise users
• Lead experiments on our state-of-the-art compute infrastructure, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with frontier LLMs
