Typical interview loop

How Cohere usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.

  1. Recruiter conversation

    Focus: Background, motivation

    After an application review, a recruiter call covers your background and interest in the role.

  2. Take-home assignment

    Focus: Practical build quality

    You may be asked to complete a take-home assignment; candidates report it is a realistic build reviewed like production work.

  3. Hiring manager meeting

    Focus: Experience, ownership

    A conversation with the hiring manager about past projects, ownership and the team's work.

  4. Final round: ML coding and system design

    Focus: ML coding, LLM system design

    Several team members run technical rounds; ML candidates report LLM-centred coding with plain NumPy instead of a framework, and design of a model post-training pipeline.

  5. Paper presentation (ML roles)

    Focus: Research literacy, communication

    ML candidates may present a research paper picked from a list Cohere supplies and answer questions on it.
