Summary
Jared Palmer said Tuesday he has joined Cognition to lead engineering, ending a roughly three-month stint as Xbox vice president of engineering.
Palmer had been brought into Asha Sharma’s Xbox leadership team in May to work on developer tools, infrastructure and other complex product and engineering issues, reporting directly to her.
The move also cuts short a brief Microsoft run: Palmer joined the company’s CoreAI team only last October before shifting into the Xbox role.
Cognition, backed by $21 million from Founders Fund in 2024 and valued at more than $4 billion, builds the AI coding tool Devin.
