Join us on our mission and shape the future

Why this role?
Evaluation is critical to making progress in scaling intelligence. As models continue to become superhuman in many real-world use cases, we must continue to develop new techniques to accurately measure our models' performance on frontier capabilities. In this role, you are responsible for creating next-generation evaluation methods and scalable infrastructure to measure LLM progress.

As a Senior Research Engineer, Model Evaluation, You Will

  • Develop evaluation benchmarks, datasets, and environments for measuring the bleeding edge of model capabilities
  • Conduct research to push the state-of-the-art in LLM evaluation methods, including training LLM judges; improving evaluation efficiency; and scalably building high-quality datasets
  • Build scalable tools for investigating and understanding evaluation results that are used by all members of technical staff at Cohere, as well as leadership and our CEO
  • Learn from and work with the best researchers and engineers in the field

You May Be a Good Fit If

  • You enjoy pushing the limits of what LLMs are capable of, and you have built high-quality evaluation resources to measure those capabilities (datasets, simulators, environments, etc.)
  • You have a track record of developing new methods and/or data to evaluate LLMs, e.g. publications at top-tier conferences, popular benchmarks, etc.
  • You have deep experience building with and around LLMs, and you have built tools for analyzing and understanding their performance
  • You have strong software engineering skills

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.
