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’re able to read and understand, and even fix issues outside of the main code base
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
If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply!
We value and celebrate diversity and 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, and we will work together to meet your needs.
