Why this role?
The Cohere Embeddings team is at the forefront of harnessing the power of text representations, also known as text embeddings. When you hear about large language models (LLM), probably the first thing that comes to mind is the text generation capability, such as writing an essay or creating a marketing copy. But another thing you can get is text representation: a set of numbers that represent what the text means, and somehow capture the semantics of the text. These numbers are called text embeddings.
The Embeddings team is on a mission to redefine how we understand and utilise text representations. We're focused on building the most robust foundation models for search, with a strong emphasis on enabling search across incredibly intricate documents and diverse data types.
As a Web Developer within Cohere's Embeddings team, you'll be at the forefront of transforming the way we search and extract meaning from text. Your role is instrumental in advancing our mission to leverage text embeddings for complex data types and documents. If you're a full-stack web developer with expertise in Database design, Front-end development (using technologies like JavaScript, React, or Angular), and Back-end development (utilizing tools like Node.js, Next.js, PHP, or FastAPI), we want to hear from you.
Join us in redefining how text embeddings empower search and understanding. Be part of a team that's shaping the future of text representation and complex data retrieval.

In this role, you will:

  • Collaborate with the Embeddings team to design and implement robust database solutions that underpin our text representation models.
  • Develop cutting-edge front-end applications using technologies like JavaScript, React, or Angular, ensuring an exceptional user experience.
  • Build powerful back-end systems with tools such as Node.js, Next.js, PHP, or FastAPI to support our search capabilities on complex data.
  • Have fun and build long lasting friendships!

You may be a good fit for this role, if you have:

  • Proven experience in database design and management.
  • Expertise in front-end development, including proficiency with JavaScript, React and Angular.
  • Strong back-end development skills, with experience in Node.js, Next.js, PHP, or FastAPI.
  • A passion for innovation and a deep curiosity about text embeddings and their applications.
  • Effective problem-solving abilities.
  • A collaborative mindset, ready to work closely with a dynamic team at the forefront of text representation technology.
If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you consider yourself a thoughtful worker, a lifelong learner, and a kind and playful team member, Cohere is the place for you.
