## Job description

Who are we?

Cohere is the leading security-first enterprise AI company. We build cutting-edge foundation AI models and end-to-end products that are designed to solve real-world business problems.

We’re training and deploying frontier models for enterprises who are building AI systems. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI and we are looking for folks that want to be part of that.

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. Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are all passionate about their craft.

We are a global technology company headquartered in Toronto with key offices in London, New York City, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, Berlin and Seoul. Join us!

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Deployment Engineering team. This isn't a typical management role — we need someone who leads from the front, gets their hands dirty, and drives impact. You'll manage a team of Forward Deployed Engineers who are on the front lines of deploying Cohere's North platform into customer environments. You should be ready to be a force to be reckoned with.

### Location: North America (remote-first)

### WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Lead and mentor a team of Forward Deployed Engineers

- Drive end-to-end deployment of North in private cloud and on-premises environments

- Take ownership of customer success from technical implementation through delivery

- Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Sales to shape how we deliver AI to enterprises

- Mentor your team on cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and enterprise-grade deployments

- Optimize performance for OpenSearch, databases, and other K8s services

- Define scaling guidelines for GPU and CPU compute resources

- Build processes & technology that scales — we're growing fast.

### WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 5+ years of experience in software engineering with demonstrated leadership

- Hands-on experience deploying enterprise software at scale

- Strong expertise in cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP)

- Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, and CI/CD pipelines

- High agency — you don't wait for permission to solve problems

- A doer mentality — you dig in and get stuff done

- Experience managing engineers in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

- Excellent communication skills in English.

### NICE TO HAVE'S

- Fluency in additional European languages

- Experience with AI/ML infrastructure

- Background in enterprise security and compliance.

Cohere is committed to fair and transparent pay practices. The salary range listed for this role reflects the expected base compensation. Actual compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, education, and experience.

- United States:

 - For candidates based in California, New York and Washington States, the compensation range is: $140,000 - $325,000 USD

 - For candidates based elsewhere in the US, the compensation range is: $120,000 – $275,000 USD

- Canada:

 - For candidates in Canada, the Compensation Range is : $175,000 - $385,000 CAD

### FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES AT COHERE ENJOY THESE PERKS:

- A weekly lunch stipend of $75/£75 or equivalent in your local currency for lunch.

- Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget for mental health.

- RRSP matching, 401K, Pension Scheme.

- 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months, for either parent.

- Annual enrichment benefits:

 Arts & culture, fitness/wellness, quality time, and a workspace improvement credit.

 Education & learning stipend for conferences, courses, and coaching.

- 6 weeks of paid vacation (30 working days!)

- Budget for traveling to other offices if you are remote, plus an annual company offsite.

### HOW AND WHERE WE WORK:

- Cohere is remote-friendly, but we also have offices in Toronto, London, New York City, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, Berlin and Seoul with more opening soon.

- For those in the office: a daily lunch program, plenty of snacks, and regular community and social events.

- For those not near an office: a co-working benefit so you can work alongside others in your city.

- Everyone receives a $500 home office stipend to set up your workspace properly.

If any of the above doesn’t line up exactly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply.

We 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 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12a6IrLdF3kI2nonKSr4tiFuz18rLQbaeYV-JM9L4o9Q/edit, and we will work together to meet your needs.

We may use AI-enabled tools to screen and assess applicants against the criteria for this position. This helps our recruiters identify potentially qualified candidates, but it doesn't limit the applications our recruiters may review or consider.

Beware of Scams: Cohere will never ask for payment or third-party services (e.g., CV writing) as part of our hiring process. All legitimate roles are listed on the Cohere careers page and LinkedIn only, with all communications from Cohere employees coming from an @cohere.com or @cw.cohere email alias. If jobs are viewed on other sites then please verify these through our official careers https://cohere.com/careers page.

**Live in Cohere’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
