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.
What you'd do
- Run point on scheduling and interview logistics for the R&D team, juggling calendars, time zones, and last-minute changes so nobody's ever caught off guard
- Greet and host candidates onsite, reading the room and adjusting so each person feels comfortable, whether they're a first-time interviewer or a seasoned researcher
- Keep everyone in the loop. Candidates, interviewers, hiring managers with updates that are clear, timely, and never robotic
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with recruiters and hiring managers, flagging issues before they become problems and adjusting plans on the fly
- Own our ATS data (Ashby) so the pipeline stays clean and nothing slips through
- Poke at how the R&D team hires and runs meetings, and fix what's clunky before anyone has to ask
- Pull together numbers on hiring pace, time to hire, and team growth for leadership
- Help pull off team events, offsites, and research show-and-tells
- Spot the cracks in the process early and build something more scalable before they turn into real problems
- You've spent 2+ years doing recruiting coordination, recruiting ops, or talent ops somewhere fast and technical
What you get
- Real partnership with R&D and Talent leadership, not just admin support
- A shot at scaling something from the ground floor
- Plenty of room to grow the role as the R&D Talent team grows
- Small, sharp team where your work is genuinely felt
About Cognition · General & Administrative
As Talent Operations Coordinator supporting R&D, you're the reason candidates leave every interaction feeling genuinely taken care of—and the person our researchers, engineers, and R&D leadership count on when they need something to just work. Part calendar guru, part host, part quiet fixer of whatever's about to go sideways, you make sure hiring never becomes the bottleneck. The people you help bring on now will shape what Cognition's R&D team looks like for years.
