## Role details

## Who are we?

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

We train and deploy frontier models for enterprises building AI systems. We believe our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI, and we’re looking for people who want to be part of that.

We obsess over what we build. Each of us is responsible for increasing the capabilities of our models and the value they drive for our customers. Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more—passionate about their craft.
