Talent Operations Coordinator, R&D

WE ARE AN APPLIED AI LAB BUILDING END-TO-END SOFTWARE AGENTS. We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer. Our team is extremely 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, Palantir, 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 As Talent Operations Coordinator supporting R&D, you're the reason candidates leave every interaction feeling genuinely taken care of—and the person our researchers, engineers, and R&D leadership count on when they need something to just work. Part calendar guru, part host, part quiet fixer of whatever's about to go sideways, you make sure hiring never becomes the bottleneck. The people you help bring on now will shape what Cognition's R&D team looks like for years. This role fits you if you get a kick out of solving logistics puzzles fast, don't mind things changing under you week to week, and actually enjoy the chaos of meeting new people all day. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Talent Coordination for R&D - Run point on scheduling and interview logistics for the R&D team, juggling calendars, time zones, and last-minute changes so nobody's ever caught off guard - Greet and host candidates onsite, reading the room and adjusting so each person feels comfortable, whether they're a first-time interviewer or a seasoned researcher - Keep everyone in the loop. Candidates, interviewers, hiring managers with updates that are clear, timely, and never robotic - Work shoulder-to-shoulder with recruiters and hiring managers, flagging issues before they become problems and adjusting plans on the fly - Own our ATS data (Ashby) so the pipeline stays clean and nothing slips through Op
