About the role

About Cotera

Cotera is building a platform that allows any business to automate anything with AI. We’re starting with Customer Experience teams, where LLMs have radically changed the scope of what can be analyzed and automated.

About the role

We're looking for a talented software engineer to join our team. The platform is incredibly ambitious, and the role will test your ability to work across the stack, solve business problems, and work with data at scale. The role is well suited to people that move fast, love to learn, and care deeply about making our customers successful.

The role is full time and in office, based in New York City.

What You'll Do

  • Work on React Frontend that uses DuckDB WASM to allow customers to interact with their data
  • Build infrastructure that processes millions of automations for our customers
  • Improve our relational algebra compiler that transforms complex data operations into efficient data warehouse queries
  • Expand on our multi tier query caching system that reuses partial query results
  • Develop intuitive user interfaces that help customers build sophisticated AI workflows without headaches
  • Solve challenging problems at the intersection of distributed systems, compiler theory, and practical AI applications

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • You’re ambitious and are looking for a steep personal growth curve
  • You want to build great products, and care about everything from UX to Infrastructure.
  • You like to work fast and get things into customers’ hands
  • You love solving complex technical problems and can think independently
  • You have a strong grasp of computer science fundamentals and system design
  • You're comfortable diving into unfamiliar codebases and making them better
  • You hate communication overhead and want to talk to customers directly

Our Tech Stack

We use TypeScript, PostgreSQL, React, and run on Kubernetes in GCP. However, we care more about your fundamentals, and your ability to learn and adapt than specific technology experience. The right candidate will have no problem picking up any of these quickly.

What We Offer

  • Work on technically challenging problems that matter
  • Significant impact on product direction and technical decisions
  • Fast-paced environment where your work ships quickly
  • Ambitious technical roadmap that will keep you learning and growing
  • Competitive salary
  • Significant equity
  • Unlimited time off
  • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision and 401k match.

Why are we different?

We believe that the key to unlocking AI for business lies in excellent data operations and a deep appreciation for the nuance of every business. Without quality, timely data, no model is smart enough to produce a good result, and without a critical understanding of the business, you can’t solve the right problems.

We’re not afraid to think differently and from first principles, and our platform takes these two beliefs to heart. It brings data operations excellence to any business, so that smart people can build meaningful and robust solutions to business problems.

Come work with us!

If you're excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI while delivering real business value, we want to talk to you.
