Cognition, the autonomous software engineering company behind Devin, eliminated internal job titles across its legal team, reclassifying all members as "Member of Legal Staff (MLS)." The firm stated that traditional titles are "orthogonal to our highly technical culture" and fail to align with its mission of expanding human capacity through autonomous software engineering. The move reflects Cognition's broader effort to flatten organizational hierarchies in line with its AI-first operating model. The company is actively recruiting legal staff under the new MLS designation.
