WE ARE AN APPLIED AI LAB BUILDING END-TO-END SOFTWARE AGENTS. We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer. Our team is extremely talent-dense. Among our founding team, we have world-class competitive programmers, former founders, and leaders from companies at the cutting edge of AI including Scale AI, Palantir, Cursor, Waymo, Tesla, Lunchclub, Modal, Google DeepMind, and Nuro. Building Devin is just the first step-our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s biggest problems and build AI that can reason on real-world tasks, apply to join us. ABOUT THE ROLE You'll operate as a high-trust generalist, embedded in different parts of the business depending on where you're needed. Projects will vary: standing up new business lines, building analytics infrastructure alongside engineering, supporting corporate development efforts, or helping teams navigate critical transitions. Scope and ownership will be significant. You'll be expected to move fast, drive outcomes, and operate with high autonomy. This is a role for someone who wants to be close to the hardest problems at a company moving very quickly. You'll work directly with leadership and build relationships across every function. The path from here leads to functional leadership for those who want it.

You care about outcomes, not credit or optics. - Speed and precision. You move fast without dropping details. - Trust-building. People want to work with you after the first interaction. - Proactive ownership. You see problems and fix them without being asked. - Analytical rigor. You're comfortable with data and use it to drive decisions. - Grit. You don't quit when the work gets tedious or the problem gets hard. Requirements - Relevant experience in consulting, investment banking, or operations at a high-growth technology company - Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously and deliver results without close supervision - Strong analytical foundation - Ability to communicate credibly with both technical and non-technical teams - Track record of exceptional performance in whatever you've pursued - High tolerance for ambiguity, context-switching, and intensity You might excel if you... - Have a technical degree (CS, engineering, math, physics) even if you took a non-technical career path - Worked as an early employee at a startup where you operated well beyond your job description - Have been a Chief of Staff or BizOps lead at a scaling company - Care deeply about building teams and culture, not just processes EQUAL OPPORTUNITY Cognition is an equal opportunity employer.
