| Research, Post-Training Research role focused on post-training and alignment of AI agents, shaping their behavior and capabilities for real-world usefulness and safety. Blends research and engineering to iterate on datasets, training stages, hyperparameters, and evaluation design, with a focus on understanding and advancing techniques like RLHF/RLAIF for long-horizon tasks. | Post-trainAgent | 9 |
| Research, Mid-Training This role focuses on the critical mid-training stage of LLMs, bridging pre-training and post-training. The goal is to sharpen raw base model capabilities in areas like reasoning, generalization, coding, and math through strategic data mix, quality uplift, annealing schedules, context length extension, and synthetic data generation. The role involves both research and engineering, with a strong emphasis on evaluation and iteration to ensure measurable capability gains for AI agents like Devin. | PretrainPost-train | 9 |
| Research Engineer, Infrastructure Research Engineer, Infrastructure role at Cognition, an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents like Devin. The role focuses on building and owning the core systems that researchers depend on, including distributed training infrastructure, experiment orchestration, data pipelines, and tooling to accelerate research velocity. This involves ensuring systems are fast, reliable, and scalable for large-scale training jobs across thousands of GPUs, with a focus on performance optimization and parallelism strategies. The ideal candidate has deep experience in distributed systems, Python/C++, PyTorch, GPU profiling, and ML knowledge to engage with researchers. | Serve | 9 |
| Software Engineer, Infrastructure Software Engineer, Infrastructure role at an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents (like Devin, the AI software engineer). The role focuses on building and operating the core infrastructure for agent execution, including compute, orchestration, networking, and platform systems. This involves owning agent execution infrastructure (sandboxed compute environments, VM orchestration, container management), building the developer platform (CI/CD, deployment systems), driving reliability and observability, and scaling infrastructure with product growth. Requires deep systems engineering, cloud/container expertise (Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure), strong Python skills, observability instincts, and a security/isolation mindset for agentic workloads. | AgentServe | 8 |
| Partner Deployed Engineer This role focuses on enabling Global Systems Integrators (GSIs) to successfully deploy, scale, and deliver value with Cognition's AI agents (Devin and Windsurf) to their client base. The Partner Deployed Engineer will work closely with partners to build repeatable offerings, provide technical enablement, co-deliver pilots, and act as a technical representative within partner organizations, influencing the product roadmap based on field learnings. | Agent | 8 |
| Deployed Engineer, Federal Applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents, specifically Devin (AI software engineer) and Windsurf (AI-native IDE).
