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. 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! ## Who You Are
You're an editor in the old sense of the word. And the new sense too. The old-school part: you can read a draft and tell the writer what it's actually about, including the parts they hadn't realized yet. You commission well. You have a stable of writers, photographers, and filmmakers you trust, and they trust you back. You can talk about a piece of writing at the sentence level and at the strategic level in the same conversation. The new-school part: you think in formats, not just words. A story might want to be a 4,000-word essay, a short film, a photo series, a newsletter, a podcast, a thread. You know which form a story belongs in, and you know how a single idea can travel across surfaces without losing itself in translation. You don't own social (the Social Lead does), but you watch it closely, you understand how it shapes contemporary publishing, and you know that what shows up there is often the public face of the editorial slate. Above all, you're an integrator. You can look at a blog, a newsletter, a film series, a podcast, and a feed and see whether they read as one publisher or five. Getting them to read as one is part of the job. You also run things. You've shipped on deadline. You've held a calendar across multiple contributors. You've managed budgets. You know what it takes to keep a publishing operation moving without letting the standard slip. The romance of editorial work is real, but you don't confuse it with disorganization. You're culturally fluent across more than tech. You read widely: fiction, criticism, longform journalism, design and architecture writing, fashion, music, food, the internet. You have opinions about what's good and why. You know the difference between a piece that's and a piece that's , and you reach for the second one whenever you can. What you do need is the ability to operate inside a fast-moving company with complex subject matter, without losing the editorial standard that made you good in the first place. ##
