About the Team The People Operations team owns the systems, processes, and programs that make the employee lifecycle run — from day one through every transition in between. We believe that clean data, simple workflows, and well-designed technology are what let the rest of the People & Talent function do its best work. About the Role We're looking for a People Operations Manager who can look at a messy, ambiguous problem and turn it into a clear plan — then execute it. Day-to-day, you'll own our HR technology stack, lead process transformation across the employee lifecycle, and serve as the go-to partner for Payroll, IT, Legal, and the broader People & Talent team when something needs to be built, fixed, or rethought. You'll work directly with vendors, HRBPs, and leadership to make sure our operations are scalable, compliant, and actually simple to use. In the first year, success means moving us from where we are to where we should be: better-configured systems, documented processes, and a team that trusts what's in our tools. Responsibilities Lead HR operations programs end-to-end — define scope, owners, milestones, risks, and success measures, often starting from an undefined brief. Serve as the primary functional owner for core People technology platforms (e.g., HRIS, ATS, LMS, performance tools), including configuration, upgrades, and feature evaluation. Lead technology deployments, platform conversions, and module rollouts, coordinating across IT, HRIS, and vendor teams. Research and benchmark HR technology trends to build and maintain a People tech roadmap that supports scale. Apply AI and e

We’re training and deploying frontier models for enterprises who are building AI systems. We believe that our work is instrumental to the widespread adoption of AI and we are looking for folks that want to be part of that. We obsess over what we build. Each one of us is responsible for contributing to increasing the capabilities of our models and the value they drive for our customers. Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are all passionate about their craft. We are a global technology company headquartered in Toronto with key offices in London, New York City, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, Berlin and Seoul. Join us! Why This Role? We're hiring a People Project Manager to join our HR PMO and help deliver an ambitious portfolio of HR programs, products, and initiatives as we scale globally. This is not a business-as-usual project management role . We're a hypergrowth company building at speed, and our HR team is building alongside it. We're looking for someone who gets genuine energy from bringing order to chaos, creating structure where there isn't any yet, and getting important things shipped. Hypergrowth, for real. Things move fast, priorities evolve, and there's always something meaningful to jump into. If you love pace, variety, and figuring things out as you go, you'll have a huge canvas here. A chance to build. Our HR PMO is taking shape within a hugely ambitious HR team. You'll help create the workflows, rhythms, and tools we need to build a world-class function at scale. Real ownership.

About the Team Our mission at OpenAI is to discover and enact the path to safe, beneficial AGI. To do this, we believe that many technical breakthroughs are needed in generative modeling, reinforcement learning, large-scale optimization, active learning, and other areas. The team builds the performance-critical systems that allow OpenAI's models to run efficiently across a diverse set of AI accelerators. We work across the inference stack, from low-level kernels and compilers through model execution, to unlock the full capabilities of the underlying hardware. About the Role As a Software Engineer, Trainium, you will help bring OpenAI's inference workloads to AWS Trainium and build the software stack required to run cutting-edge frontier models efficiently on the platform. This is a deeply technical, cross-stack role spanning kernels, compilers, and model execution. You will work on the systems needed to support OpenAI's inference stack on Trainium, including developing and optimizing high-performance kernels, improving compiler support, and enabling efficient execution of the model forward pass. You'll work closely with engineers across inference, compilers, kernels, and ML systems to identify performance bottlenecks and build the software needed to take full advantage of Trainium. The work may range from low-level hardware-specific optimization to compiler and runtime improvements to integrating new model architectures into the inference stack. If you enjoy working at the intersection of ML systems, compilers, kernels, and accelerator hardware, this role is for you. We're looking for engineers who are self-directed, comfortable operating across abstraction layers, and excited to solve challenging performance problems for frontier-scale AI systems. In This Role, You Will Build and optimize OpenAI's inference stack for AWS Trainium. Develop high-performance kernels for critical model operations and workloads. Extend and improve compiler support to efficiently target
About the Team OpenAI’s Finance and Revenue Operations organization builds the commercial infrastructure that enables the business to scale with speed, discipline, and financial integrity.
