Senior Software Engineer, Security Agents

Who are we?

Our mission is to scale intelligence to serve humanity. We're training and deploying frontier models for developers and enterprises who are building AI systems to power magical experiences like content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents.

Why This Role?

Are you passionate about secure-by-design software engineering? Do you want to be at the forefront of AI innovation and enterprise security? Cohere's North team is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with a focus on security to join our mission and make a significant impact.

Your Role:

As a Senior Software Engineer with a security focus, you'll play a pivotal role in building and securing North's architecture. Your responsibilities will include:

• Build and ship security features for North, our AI workspace platform
• Develop autonomous agents that talk to sensitive enterprise data
• Write and ship minimal code that runs in low-resource environments, and has highly stringent deployment mechanisms
• Pulling in new tools to enhance North's security capabilities
• 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
• Perform application security testing for your code to test its resilience against real-world threats

You may be a good fit if:

• 5+ years previous experience in software engineering with a strong focus on developing user facing security features
• You have strong development skills, and have shipped (lots of) Python in production
• You have a solid knowledge of security principles like session management, multi-factor authentication, and secure coding practices
• You have strong coding abilities and are comfortable working across the stack
• You employ a flexible and constructive approach when solving problems
• You excel in fast-paced environments and can execute while priorities and objectives are a moving target
