## About the role

Cogent Research is the applied AI lab at the heart of Cogent's mission. As an AI Research Engineer, you will work at the frontier of automated reasoning and AI-driven code analysis — inventing novel solutions, prototyping fast, and pivoting when first ideas don't pan out. This is not a role for those who need a playbook. We are looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, drives work proactively and independently, and is deeply aligned with Cogent's mission to make the world's infrastructure safer.
