Staff Software Engineer, Agentic Analytics at Cohere · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As the lead of Agentic Analytics, you will:
Own the system end to end. Set the architecture for how a business question becomes a governed query and a verifiable answer: interpreting the question, retrieving the right context, applying approved definitions and joins, enforcing the asking user's permissions, and attaching the evidence (source, query, freshness) to every answer.
Build and run it in production. Design the core services and write much of the first version yourself: agent-facing data tools (MCP or equivalent), context retrieval, agent skills for analytics, and the APIs that serve answers. Hold them to production standards for reliability, latency, cost, security, and observability. Put it where people already work: Slack, North, IDEs, and other agents.
Hold every release to the evaluation bar. Build and run the evaluation harness, and define what correct means in each domain: ground-truth question sets, including held-out cases and questions the agent should clarify or decline; result-level scoring, correct-or-decline rates, coverage, and error severity; and regression tests on every change to context, skills, or models. Nothing ships below the bar, and the call on when a domain is ready for production is yours.
Engineer the context layer. Turn metric definitions, approved joins, documentation generated from the code that builds each table, a business glossary, and worked examples into context the agent can use. Every correction becomes a reviewed definition and a regression test.
Roll it out across Cohere. Bring domains such as marketing, revenue, finance, and product onto the system one at a time, each with named owners, certified definitions, and its own evaluation set. Measure adoption, accuracy, turnaround, and correction effort against how those teams work today.
Make it replicable. Package the tools, skills, context templates, and evaluations, and document them well enough that other teams at Cohere can run the system without you.
Hire and lead the team. Bring on the team's first engineers, set the technical bar, review the work, and develop the people doing it.
Partner across Cohere. Work with our data platform team on the warehouse and semantic models, our model evaluation team on evaluation methodology, our security team on access, and each domain's owners on definitions and rollout.
