North is Cohere's cutting-edge AI workspace platform, designed for enterprise users. It offers a secure and customizable environment, allowing companies to deploy AI while maintaining control over sensitive data. North integrates seamlessly with existing workflows, providing a trusted platform that connects AI agents with workplace tools, data and applications.

The North for Finance team builds specialized AI solutions for finance teams while accelerating adoption of agentic workflows for their mission-critical operations. You'll work at the intersection of AI innovation and financial services, developing features that integrate domain-specific knowledge with enterprise-grade reliability.

As an engineer on this team you will help transform complex financial workflows through intelligent automation. You'll extend core agentic platform capabilities with built-in data isolation, structured-data manipulation and collaborative governance, positioning North as the leading AI workspace for finance.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

• Design, build, ship, and maintain customer facing workflows and agentic automations

• Own features end-to-end, from technical design through implementation, testing, launch, and iteration.

• Collaborate closely with Product, UX, ML, and Sales teams to validate requirements and prototype quickly

• Work closely with customers in the finance domain

• Develop custom interfaces that seamlessly integrate with financial data sources and existing enterprise tools

• Extend core agentic platform capabilities to support finance-specific requirements and ensure reliability, security, and auditability

• Develop collaborative workspaces with appropriate access controls (RBAC) and data isolation

• Own technical decisions that balance speed, quality and user needs, maintaining alignment with the product roadmap

• Use AI actively in your work, while staying accountable for the quality and reliability of what you ship

You may be a good fit if:

• You have experience in full-stack product engineering

• You have built, shipped, and operated production software used by thousands of users

• You have strong product judgment, pay attention to details and care deeply about the end user needs

• You excel in fast-paced environments and can execute while priorities and objectives are a moving target

• You bring high agency: you learn quickly and drive change without waiting for perfect instructions.

• You are curious and can identify, troubleshoot and fix issues across systems boundaries

• You can clearly document and track architectural proposals and technical decisions

• You are excited to use AI, while staying directly accountable for the systems you build

• You have integrated AI agents in your day-to-day with well structured workflows

It's a bonus if you have:

• Experience in financial services or regulated industries

• Familiarity with agentic AI architectures and implementation patterns

• Knowledge of access control implementation in complex systems
