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.

As a Senior Security Engineer you will:

- Integrate security into our applications throughout the software development lifecycle.
- Collaborate with product and development teams, driving the success of larger projects to ensure that software is built and deployed securely without compromising agility and speed.
- Driving and supporting application security reviews and threat modeling, including code review and dynamic testing.

- Gather and analyze security metrics to address security issues with cross-team dependencies.
- Be a problem solver who is empathetic to developer concerns and will employ constructive and flexible approach to building innovative solutions.
You may be a good fit if:
- 5+ years previous experience in Application/Product Security or Security Operations with a strong focus on security tool onboarding and optimization.
- You have an understanding of network security, cloud security concepts, and industry best practices across many fields of security.
- You are comfortable with ambiguity and are able to make informed decisions with little data.
- You employ a flexible and constructive approach when solving problems.
- You are able to make trade-offs between build vs. buy decisions - help build solutions and able to review what tools are available.
- You understand secure engineering best practices, can articulate problem statements and propose solutions to both technically savvy and non-technical audiences.
- You have a deep technical understanding of common security vulnerabilities and risks, as well as countermeasures and compensating controls.
- You’re a hands-on security engineer interested in automating controls (i.e., Snyk, Open Policy Agent, SLSA framework, Bridgecrew etc.).
