Events & Programs Manager

We are an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents.

We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer, and Windsurf, the AI-native IDE. Together, they represent our vision for collaborative AI teammates that enable engineers to focus on more interesting problems and empower teams to strive for more ambitious goals.

Our team is small and 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 and Windsurf 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

You’ll design and run events that bring people together—from team dinners and company celebrations to offsites and internal programs.

You’ll also own our swag and cultural initiatives, helping create the small moments that make Cognition feel like a place people love coming to every day.

Some days you might be coordinating a company offsite. Other days you’re launching a new internal program, planning a surprise celebration, or making sure a shipment of swag arrives before a team milestone.

If you love creating thoughtful experiences, have strong operational instincts, and enjoy making things happen behind the scenes, this role might be a great fit.

What you’ll do

Design and run memorable events

  • Plan and execute internal events including team offsites, company celebrations, and recruiting events

  • Partner with leadership and teams to create events that feel thoughtful and intentional

    Manage vendors, venues, budgets, and timelines

Create programs that shape culture

  • Develop and run internal programs that strengthen connection and community including but not limited to onboarding, rotational programs, speaker series, and wellness perks

  • Gather feedback on employee experience through 1:1 conversations, quick polls, and periodic surveys

  • Partner with an employee committee to turn insights into thoughtful improvements across the company

Own the swag and merchandise program

  • Manage company swag, merchandise design, and inventory

  • Coordinate seasonal drops, new hire kits, and special releases

  • Maintain inventory systems and manage ordering, storage, and distribution

Make the details work

  • Track budgets and event spend

  • Coordinate vendors and logistics across multiple events and initiatives

  • Help continuously improve how we run events and programs as the company grows

We’d love to meet someone who

  • Has 3-6 years of experience planning events, programs, or community initiatives

  • Is both creative and operationally strong—able to dream up ideas and execute them well

  • Loves bringing people together and creating meaningful shared experiences

  • Has excellent organizational skills and strong attention to detail

  • Is comfortable managing multiple projects and shifting priorities

  • Enjoys working in a fast-moving, collaborative environment

Why this role matters

Culture doesn’t happen by accident. It’s shaped through shared experiences, thoughtful details, and the people who care about creating them.

This role will help define how it feels to work at Cognition—from the biggest offsites to the smallest everyday moments.
