Senior Software Engineer

About this role

• We’re building the next generation of agentic AI infrastructure at Cohere
• This team sits at the intersection of ML systems, distributed infrastructure, and developer experience, creating the platform that powers autonomous AI agents at scale
• You’ll work on hard, forward-looking problems with few established patterns, including secure code execution, agent state management, model routing, identity and authentication, and resource management for long-running agent workflows
• This role is a strong fit for someone who combines systems depth with ML intuition
• You should be comfortable building reliable infrastructure, thinking through distributed systems tradeoffs, and understanding how emerging agentic capabilities shape platform design
• Secure execution environments for agent-generated code
• Identity, authentication, and trust boundaries for agents
• Model routing and orchestration across different model types and environments
• Rate limiting, quotas, and resource management for agent workflows
• State management, memory, and filesystem abstractions for agents
• Turn emerging ML research ideas into production-ready infrastructure
• Build core platform capabilities for execution, storage, and state management
• Prototype and evaluate new technologies, then help decide what should move into production
• Partner with research teams to shape infrastructure based on what future agent systems will need
