About Cognition

Cognition operates Devin, the first autonomous software engineer. Devin plans, writes, tests, and ships production code inside your existing workflows. Backed by Accel, Battery and Bessemer.

About the role

Cognition is looking for an exceptional operator to help build an AI-native legal function for an AI-native company. This is not a traditional legal operations role. You will design how Legal operates: how work comes in, how decisions get made, how knowledge is captured, where AI and automation can replace repetitive work, and how a small team can support a rapidly growing company without recreating the large, siloed legal departments of the past.
