Cognition
Autonomous AI agents for software engineering
CORE INFO
Cognition sells software-engineering agents to individual developers, engineering teams, enterprises, and government organizations. Its products handle tasks such as planning, coding, testing, debugging, code review, documentation, and software migration in cloud development environments.
- Series E: Cognition raised $2 billion on September 8, 2026, at a $48 billion valuation, led by Andreessen Horowitz and Accel.techcrunch.comcognition.com
- Annualized run-rate revenue: Nearly $900 million in September 2026, according to The Information.theinformation.com
- Government expansion: Bloomberg Law reported that federal agencies, including the Treasury Department, were piloting or using Devin to modernize legacy systems.news.bloomberglaw.com
WHY WE WOULD WORK AT COGNITION
Shape Software's Future
Help build autonomous engineering agents that expand human capacity in software creation. Devin lets engineers focus on architecture and problem-solving while agents handle execution-heavy work.
Work on Frontier AI
Train and deploy software-engineering models such as SWE-1.7, optimized for long-horizon tasks inside Devin's isolated cloud environments. You'll work across planning, code generation, testing, debugging, and agent orchestration.
Join a Talent-Dense Team
Collaborate with an interdisciplinary, low-ego team whose founding group includes 10 International Olympiad in Informatics gold medals. Cognition's principles emphasize teamwork, ambition, and showing up for customers.
Grow with Real Momentum
Cognition has grown from roughly $1 million in Devin annualized revenue in September 2024 to nearly $900 million in September 2026. More than $2 billion in funding supports continued product and international expansion.
Build for Global Industries
Your work can reach customers across aerospace, finance, automotive, healthcare, infrastructure, and government. Devin is used by organizations including NVIDIA, GE Aerospace, Citi, Mercedes-Benz, NASA-JPL, and the U.S. Navy.
Create a Full Platform
Go beyond a single coding assistant by shaping Devin, Devin Review, DeepWiki, Automations, Desktop, Windsurf-based tools, and government deployments. The breadth spans agentic IDEs, code review, documentation, migrations, and enterprise workflows.

Autonomous Software Engineering
Devin is Cognition's cloud-based AI software engineer, capable of planning, writing, testing, debugging, reviewing, documenting, migrating, and shipping software in isolated development environments.
Agentic Development Tools
Devin Desktop and Windsurf-based tools provide an agentic development environment for managing AI-assisted coding workflows. Devin Review adds automated pull-request review and bug detection.
Software Engineering Models
Cognition trains specialized software-engineering models, including SWE-1.7, for long-horizon coding tasks and real-world development workflows. These models are optimized within the Devin agent harness rather than for standalone benchmarks alone.
Codebase Intelligence
DeepWiki generates documentation and system understanding for codebases, while Agent Trace captures the context graph of code. Together, these technologies help agents and engineers navigate complex software systems.
Enterprise Agent Infrastructure
Cognition supports parallel agent execution, persistent isolated virtual machines, snapshots, rollback infrastructure, and integrations with tools such as GitHub, Slack, Linear, AWS, Azure, Datadog, and Sentry. Its enterprise and government deployments include usage-based ACU billing, AWS GovCloud, and compliance-oriented support.
