Cohere - Research Engineer

• Cohere Labs brings together researchers and engineers to explore ambitious ideas and turn them into real systems. We focus on advancing machine learning while expanding access to applied research training and global collaboration. • We pursue this mission in two ways: • Creating open, collaborative research spaces where engineers and researchers work side-by-side on ambitious ML problems. • Expanding access to applied research training, helping early-career engineers grow into strong research contributors. • We’re looking for Research Engineers who enjoy getting their hands dirty: building experiments, debugging models, scaling training pipelines, and turning research ideas into working systems.This is a highly practical role. You’ll work closely with scientists and other engineers to implement new methods, run large-scale experiments, and help shape the infrastructure that supports our research programs. • You don’t need to have everything figured out yet. We care more about curiosity, strong fundamentals, and a willingness to learn quickly in a fast-moving research environment. • You may be a fit if you: • Have a strong engineering background in machine learning, NLP, or related areas (through a Master’s degree, industry experience, or equivalent hands-on work). • Enjoy writing clean, reliable code and building systems that others can use and extend. • Are comfortable experimenting, running ablations, analyzing results, and iterating quickly. • Have experience with deep learning frameworks and model optimization techniques (PyTorch, distributed training, RLHF, finetuning, evaluation frameworks) • Like collaborating closely with researchers and translating ideas into practical implementations. • Are excited to grow your research instincts while staying grounded in engineering excellence. • At Cohere Labs, research engineers are not just support roles. They are core contributors who help define how ideas become reality. If you want to work on meaningful problems, learn fast, and help build tools that shape the future of AI, we’d love to hear from you. • If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! • We value and celebrate diversity and strive to create an inclusive work environment for all. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please submit an Accommodations Request Form, and we will work together to meet your needs. • Full-Time Employees at Cohere enjoy these Perks: • 🤝 An open and inclusive culture and work environment • 🧑‍💻 Work closely with a team on the cutting edge of AI research • 🍽 Weekly lunch stipend, in-office lunches & snacks • 🦷 Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget to take care of your mental health • 🐣 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months • 🎨 Personal enrichment benefits towards arts and culture, fitness and well-being, quality time, and workspace improvement • 🏙 Remote-flexible, offices in Toronto, New York, San Francisco, London and Paris, as well as a co-working stipend • ✈️ 6 weeks of vacation (30 working days!)
