Cohere is a leading enterprise AI company building cutting-edge foundation models and end-to-end products for businesses. The North Security team is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design and build autonomous AI agents that revolutionize how enterprise security teams operate.
You will own the full lifecycle of security agent systems, from conception through production deployment. Your work will include building intelligent agents that perform alert triage, secure code reviews, threat modeling, and vulnerability assessment. You'll develop agent orchestration systems that automate repetitive security tasks, design security controls to ensure agents safely interact with sensitive enterprise data, and create infrastructure enabling agents to operate in high-trust, resource-constrained environments.
This role requires research and implementation of novel security patterns for AI agent systems, sometimes requiring custom solutions beyond standard libraries. You'll conduct security testing of both the agents and the platform running them, and ship production-ready capabilities that meet enterprise deployment requirements.
Cohere is remote-friendly with offices in Toronto, London, New York City, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, Berlin, and Seoul. There is no minimum in-office requirement; the company prioritizes hiring exceptional people regardless of location, though core time zone alignment may be expected.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping user-facing security features
- Strong Python development skills with significant production experience
- Experience building or working with autonomous systems, AI agents, or intelligent automation
- Solid understanding of security principles including session management, authentication, authorization, and secure coding practices
- Ability to think about security at multiple layers: application security, agent behavior security, and infrastructure security
- Comfortable working across the full stack and diving into unfamiliar codebases to understand and fix issues
- Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities
- Excitement about the intersection of AI/ML and security engineering
