Engineer, Backend Developer

About Cognee

Cognee is building the knowledge engine for AI agents to adapt and learn from feedback. We provide a developer tool for engineers and data scientists to build agentic systems that work in critical workflows –  open-source Python SDK runs 1,000,000+ times per month, it is in production at 70+ companies, we reached 12k+ Git Hub stars and hit Git Hub trending several times.

We recently raised a $7.5m seed round from Pebblebed Ventures in San Francisco, founded by the founding engineers of OpenAI and the Facebook AI Research Lab. We are now transitioning into a period of high growth and are looking for someone to create the vision we have for our customers starting with their first interaction with our website and cloud application.

You’ll join a small, driven group of people who work closely together, support each other, and work towards the shared goal of building a generational AI infrastructure company.

The Growth Engineer supports Cognee’s design, product and growth teams and is responsible for user experience, usability across various integrations and for interacting with the community on various social channels.
