We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI.

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. We like to work hard and move fast to do what's best for our customers.

Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are passionate about their craft. Each person is one of the best in the world at what they do. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives is a requirement for building great products.

Join us on our mission and shape the future!

Why this team?

This team is responsible for building world-class infrastructure that is critical to all of Cohere's success. Focus on stability, scalability, and observability are all paramount as this work acts as the foundation for all members of technical staff.

Our team optimizes for a wide range of technical skillsets (some of which are outlined below). Being self-directed and adaptable, identifying and solving key problems are essential.

Please Note:All of our infrastructure roles require participating in a 24x7 on-call rotation, where you are compensated for your on-call schedule.

For this role, we are targeting candidates who live in EMEA.

In order to be successful in the role, you have:

  • 5+ years of engineering experience running production infrastructure at a large scale
  • Experience designing large, highly available distributed systems with Kubernetes, and GPU workloads on those clusters
  • Experience working with GCP, Azure, AWS and/or OCI
  • Experience in designing, deploying, supporting, and troubleshooting in complex Linux-based computing environments
  • Excellent collaboration and troubleshooting skills to build mission-critical systems, and ensure smooth operations and efficient teamwork
  • The grit and adaptability to solve complex technical challenges that evolve day to day

Bonus qualifications:

  • You worked with or supported MLEs or data scientists
  • Familiarity troubleshooting RDMA networking

As a Senior Software Engineer you will:

  • Build self-service systems that automate managing, deploying and operating services.
  • This includes our custom Kubernetes operators that support language model deployments.
  • Automate environment observability and resilience. Enable all developers to troubleshoot and resolve problems.
  • Take steps required to ensure we hit defined SLOs, including participation in an on-call rotation.
  • Build strong relationships with internal developers and influence the Infrastructure team's roadmap based on their feedback.
  • Develop our team through knowledge sharing and an active review process.

You may be a good fit if:

  • You have proven production experience with Kubernetes.
  • You have hands-on coding experience developing services and automated tests (we use Go).
  • You prefer contributing to Open Source solutions rather than building solutions from the ground up.
  • You have experience scaling and debugging cloud-based infrastructure (we use Oracle, GCP, and Coreweave).
  • You draw motivation from building systems that help others be more productive.
  • You see mentorship, knowledge transfer, and review as essential prerequisites for a healthy team.

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.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
