Who are we?
Our mission is to scale intelligence to serve humanity. We're training and deploying frontier models for developers and enterprises who are building AI systems to power magical experiences like content generation, semantic search, RAG, and agents. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI.
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. We like to work hard and move fast to do what's best for our customers.
Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are passionate about their craft. Each person is one of the best in the world at what they do. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives is a requirement for building great products.
Join us on our mission and shape the future
Why this role?
Responsibilities
Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to push the boundaries of what AI systems can do — but inference is still the bottleneck. The Model Efficiency team is responsible for pushing the limits of LLM inference efficiency across our foundation models. We explore and ship breakthroughs across the model execution stack, including:
- model architecture and MoE routing optimization
- decoding and inference-time algorithm improvements
- software/hardware co-design for GPU acceleration
- performance optimization without compromising model quality
Please Note:
We have offices in Toronto, Montreal, San Francisco, New York, Paris, Seoul and London. We embrace a remote-friendly environment, and as part of this approach, we strategically distribute teams based on interests, expertise, and time zones to promote collaboration and flexibility. You'll find the Model Efficiency team concentrated in the EST and PST time zones, these are our preferred locations.
As a Staff Research Engineer, you will develop, prototype, and deploy techniques that materially improve how fast and efficiently our models run in production.
You may be a good fit for the model efficiency team if you:
- Have a PhD in Machine Learning or a related field
- Understand LLM architecture, and how to optimize LLM inference given resource constraints
- Have significant experience with one or more techniques that enhance model efficiency
- Strong software engineering skills
- An appetite to work in a fast-paced high-ambiguity start-up environment
- Publications at top-tier conferences and venues (ICLR, ACL, NeurIPS)
- Passion to mentor others
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.
