About North

North is Cohere's cutting-edge AI workspace platform, designed to revolutionize the way enterprises utilize AI. It offers a secure and customizable environment, allowing companies to deploy AI while maintaining control over sensitive data. North integrates seamlessly with existing workflows, providing a trusted platform that connects AI agents with workplace tools and applications.

Responsibilities

As a Senior Front-End Engineer, you will:

  • Build and ship features for North, our AI workspace platform.
  • Develop autonomous agents that talk to sensitive enterprise data.
  • As security and privacy are paramount, you will sometimes need to re-invent the wheel, and won’t be able to use the most popular libraries or tooling.
  • Collaborate with researchers to productionize state-of-the-art models and techniques.

Qualifications

You may be a good fit if you:

  • Have shipped (lots of) frontend code (React) in production.
  • Excel in fast-paced environments and can execute while priorities and objectives are a moving target.
  • Have worked in both large enterprises and startups.
  • Have strong coding abilities and are comfortable working across the stack.
  • Are able to read and understand, and even fix issues outside of the main code base.
  • Have built and deployed extremely performant client-side or server-side RAG/agentic applications to millions of users.

Bonus:

  • You love art and have an eye for design and a creative mindset. A portfolio, GitHub, or other showcases of your projects are a plus.

If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you want to work really hard on a glorious mission with teammates that want the same thing, Cohere is the place for you.
