About the role

Product Manager overseeing the execution layer for AI agent harness at Cohere. Driving AI innovations to enhance enterprise capabilities and streamline workflows.

Responsibilities

Define and own the roadmap for North's agent harness, including the agent loop, context engineering layer, tool orchestration, sandbox execution, and sub-agent delegation
Serve as the primary interface between North engineering and Cohere's Modeling team, ensuring new harness capabilities are validated before being built and that neither team paints itself into a corner
Own North's agentic evaluation framework, ensuring evals are compatible with both the North harness and Modeling's training infrastructure, and that they serve as a reliable bridge between product and research
Engage enterprise customers to surface real-world agentic failures and translate findings into concrete product and model requirements
Stay current with the open-source and commercial agent ecosystem and drive adoption decisions that keep North's architecture aligned with emerging standards.

5+ years of product management experience in agentic AI systems, developer infrastructure, or applied ML products
Deep understanding of modern LLM agent architectures, including multi-agent systems, tool-augmented reasoning, memory and retrieval, programmatic orchestration, RAG, and long-horizon execution
Strong grasp of agentic evaluation design, including how to measure task completion, failure recovery, and long-horizon reliability, and how to diagnose model vs. scaffolding gaps
Technically deep enough to contribute to architecture decisions at the implementation level: comfortable reviewing and shaping design docs, reasoning about async execution patterns, sandboxed environments, filesystem design, and the tradeoffs that come with building harness capabilities into a production platform
Ability to flex between ML research conversations and engineering architecture discussions with equal fluency
Track record of shipping platform-layer products with demonstrated impact on reliability, performance, or capability.
