About Cogent

As one of the first Tokyo-based AI startups, we have been at the forefront of AI innovation since 2014. Our journey has been marked by rapid growth and cutting-edge technological advancements, making us a prime destination for ambitious professionals seeking to make a real-world impact by solving a wide range of business problems.

While we’ve long been recognized for our expertise in AI-based document automation through our flagship product SmartRead, our mission is now evolving to encompass the complete automation of business processes. Building on our advanced capability to accurately extract and comprehend key information from documents, we are developing sophisticated AI-powered workflow automation solutions that seamlessly connect information acquisition with subsequent actions. Through these cutting-edge and comprehensive automation services, Cogent Labs aims to dramatically enhance business productivity and contribute to solving Japan’s labor shortage challenge — creating a society where one person can generate the value of ten or even a hundred.

At Cogent Labs, we foster a culture of ownership and teamwork like a professional sports team. We are a meritocratic, results-driven team, looking for a self-starter and highly motivated individuals who thrive on challenges in a closely collaborating team environment.

While our engineering team faces exciting technical challenges everyday, the team maintains exceptionally high standards for each other, creating a supportive environment that encourages knowledge sharing and collaborative learning and work. Also, if you're ambitious, you'll have plenty of opportunities to propose new ideas, own them and lead projects at any level.

Team culture

The Cogent Labs engineering department is continuously working towards developing a culture improving and rewarding the following qualities:

  • Team effort: A cohesive team can be more effective than an isolated prodigy. Engineers are expected to work well in groups and look for opportunities to empower their colleagues.
  • Ownership: Take full responsibility for your own projects and tasks and if needed, cross over boundaries in order to successfully deliver your project.
  • Self-improvement: Create an environment where engineers can focus on their engineering tasks and self-improvement without excessive outside disturbances.
  • Experimentation: Engineers should have some freedom in experimenting with new ideas and technologies, as this ultimately could translate into building better products or the creation of valuable new IP.
  • Quality & Excellence: Maintaining a mindset of developing high quality features and code. We avoid cutting corners as much as possible.
  • Customer Service: Being customer focused, not only externally but internally as well. This means developing services that not only improve the experience of our end customers, but also being ‘customer service’ oriented within your team and the company as a whole by helping out others and sharing knowledge.
