ABOUT KIM MOIR

I lead high performing teams to collaborate effectively to ship software at scale. My current role is managing a team of engineers at Cohere who develop self-serve tools to allow customers to integrate large language models into their enterprise applications. The teams I’ve managed have been remote and geographically distributed across several continents. I’ve managed interns, new graduates, senior engineers, staff engineers, and senior staff engineers. I enjoy empowering engineers to do their best work by providing clear goals, direct feedback, and implementing strategies to increase alignment. I thrive on improving collaboration and communication among teams. I’m excellent at conducting difficult conversations to set expectations and move forward. My philosophy as a manager is that communication is just as important as code. For the past three years I’ve also mentored underrepresented folks in tech both at my employer and in the community. I’ve also interviewed 50+ candidates for roles on my teams with a focus on hiring candidates with excellent technical, communication and mentoring skills. I’ve written and spoken extensively about open source software, release engineering at scale, leadership, and upgrading mission critical distributed systems. I’ve also served as a program committee member for release and software engineering conferences and acted as a technical reviewer for books on open source architecture.
