What are the responsibilities and job description for the Delta Engineer position at Cognition?
We are an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents.
We’re the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer. Cognition is building collaborative AI teammates that enable engineers to focus on more interesting problems and empower engineering teams to strive for more ambitious goals.
Our team is small and 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, 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
Embedded with customers on their most critical initiatives. You’ll diagnose complex problems, architect solutions, and drive adoption of the Cognition platform from the inside out. Must combine technical depth with business intuition and execution speed.
