Cognition • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We are an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents. Software is how the modern world runs—but there's not enough of it, and too much of what exists isn't good enough. Banks and governments still run COBOL from the 1970s. Budgets go to technical debt and maintenance instead of the features customers actually want. The bottleneck has always been the same: engineering talent is scarce and expensive, and budgets only stretch so far. AI agents make it possible to build more software, faster, at higher quality—and Cognition is at the center of that shift. We built Devin, the first AI software engineer, and we're working with some of the world's largest enterprises to fundamentally expand what their engineering organizations can deliver. We went from $1 to $X00M in revenue in a year, and are backed by some of the world’s top investors, including Founders Fund, General Catalyst, Lux Capital, and 8VC. About the Role As a Partner Marketer at Cognition, you will drive how we collaborate with cloud providers, consulting firms, and technology partners to expand Cognition’s reach and accelerate adoption of Devin and Windsurf. You’ll play a key role in identifying which partners can best amplify our narrative, open doors to new customer segments, and increase credibility with enterprise engineering teams. You’ll work closely with Partnerships, Sales, and Product Marketing to prioritize partners, develop joint value propositions, and deliver co-marketing programs that create pipeline and grow partner-sourced revenue. This role blends strategic selection with hands-on execution: you’ll help determine where Cognition shows up through partners—then design how we show up with quality and precision.
