Cognition 在新加坡开设亚太总部，Devin 推进亚洲业务

By The Cognition Team2026.04.30

Across Asia, software demand is outpacing the engineering capacity available to deliver it. Singapore sits at the center of that shift, with strong enterprise demand, a highly skilled developer base, and clear national commitment to AI adoption.

Singapore's government has positioned the country as a global AI leader with a clear vision: use AI to augment its workforce and multiply what teams can deliver. The developer community is highly engaged, and enterprises are moving fast. It is the right place to anchor Cognition's presence across Asia Pacific.

This is the next step in our mission to bring autonomous software engineering to the world's leading engineering teams, and to be on the ground with the customers already transforming how software gets built. Unlike traditional coding tools, Devin takes ownership of end-to-end software tasks, from planning through deployment.

Leading our Asia-Pacific business is Richard Spence, Vice President and General Manager, APAC, based in Singapore and responsible for driving Cognition's regional strategy, customer engagement, and market expansion across Southeast Asia and key markets including Australia, India, and South Korea.

The momentum is already here

After launching in Europe and Japan, we're seeing the same urgency from enterprises in APAC as they move from AI experimentation to production deployment across software development. Enterprises across Southeast Asia, Australia, India, and South Korea are accelerating efforts to modernize how software is built and deployed. Singapore puts us at the center of that shift.

We are not starting from zero. Cognition is already working with leading enterprises in Singapore, including OCBC, where engineers are using our platform to support software development workflows.

OCBC has seen up to 30% improvement in code and test case generation, with the first pass rate for OCBC’s system integration test increasing from below 50 per cent to over 80 per cent after implementing our platform. This is a production deployment at scale, with impact extending beyond engineering into business teams across the organization. That is the pattern we see with great Devin deployments: teams do not just move faster, they take on a fundamentally different kind of work.

In Singapore, this shift is showing up across multiple levels. Enterprises are modernizing faster, startups are able to build without the same hiring constraints, and organizations can take on more ambitious software programs than their existing teams would allow.

What comes next

Our focus is on helping enterprises across APAC deliver software at a pace and scale that was previously not possible.

With teams on the ground in both Tokyo and Singapore, including the addition of Richard Spence, our VP and Managing Director of APAC, Cognition can serve enterprises across Asia's largest economies directly. Singapore and Japan together represent the foundation of Cognition's long-term investment in Asia.

We are building our Singapore team now across engineering, go-to-market, and partnerships. If you're interested in learning more, our open roles are here.
