Hear from our team

Sophia W.

Software Engineer · ex-Coinbase

"I'm energized every single day in my work at Cogent, where we are solving hard problems at the cutting edge of applied AI. It's exciting to shape the future alongside talented, driven colleagues in an environment that encourages constant growth."

Karan G.

Software Engineer, ex-Tesla

"Cogent has so many folks to learn from, an ambitious vision for the future of cyber, and a problem that has become critical in the age of AI. This is the most impactful and fast-paced environment that I have experienced in my career."

Larsen W.

Software Engineer

"People check their egos at the door. I get to build foundational components with real support from senior engineers, on a team redefining what it means to ship fast with coding agents. It pushes you to raise the bar every day."

Mariam M.

Security AI Engineer

"I know what vulnerability management looks like from the inside. Building AI that frees teams from that grind, and watching clients actually reduce risk with what we've shipped, has been the most meaningful work of my career."
