Apply to CohereAbout the Team
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.
About the Role
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.
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!
Qualifications
To excel in this role, we seek candidates with the following qualifications:
- Proven experience in database design and management.
- Expertise in front-end development, including proficiency with JavaScript, React and Angular.
- 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 technologies.
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.

Who are we?
We’re a small, diverse team working at the cutting edge of machine learning. At Cohere, our mission is to build machines that understand the world and to make them safely accessible to all. Language is at the crux of this, but it can be difficult and expensive to parse the syntax, semantics, and context that all work together to give words meaning. The Cohere platform provides access to Large Language Models through its APIs that read billions of web pages and learns to understand the meaning, sentiment, and intent of the words we use in a richness never seen before.
We've raised our Series B, signed a multi-year partnership with Google Cloud, and we are focused on bringing our technology to market. We will partner with customers so they can build natural language understanding and generation into their products with just a few lines of code.
We’re ambitious — we believe our technology will fundamentally transform how industries interact with natural language. And we have the technical chops to back it up - Cohere’s CEO, Aidan Gomez, is a co-author of the groundbreaking paper “Attention is all you need”, and was previously part of Google Brain. Our entire technical team is world-class.
We are focused on creating a diverse and inclusive work environment so that all of our team members can thrive. We welcome kind and brilliant people to our team, from wherever they come.
