Employer job description
From Cognition's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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
AI is becoming central to economic competitiveness, national security, and how the U.S. government operates. The decisions policymakers make over the next few years (on procurement, workforce, compute, security standards, and federal adoption) will shape how software agents are deployed in the public and private sectors, and how the U.S. competes globally. Cognition needs a senior leader who can represent us in those conversations from day one.
We’re hiring a VP, U.S. Policy to build and lead Cognition’s public policy and government affairs function in the United States. You will own our policy strategy end-to-end: developing our positions, building trusted relationships across Congress, the Executive Branch, and federal agencies, and translating what our engineers are building into clear narratives that senior policymakers can act on.
