About the team and impact

The Product team is the team responsible for developing Cognite Data Fusion as a robust and scalable platform for solving industrial data problems at Cognite. Cognite’s Cognite Data Fusion makes the operational data available at scale and adds value to the data through data processing. This enables asset-intensive industries to make data-driven decisions. Our platform is built on various technologies, each good at solving various challenges.

We believe in autonomous teams with developers, product managers and technical program managers working closely together. You'll work with skilled engineers on a critical authentication and authorization service, using the latest technologies and iterating quickly with end users for better product experiences.

As the first line of defense for securing privileged customer data, our work is crucial for customer and company success. Operating at the intersection of security, infrastructure, and feature development, our developers tackle creative technical challenges daily and engage with Cognite's most impactful business problems.

What makes a Cogniter?

A Cogniter is more than just an employee—they’re a builder, a driver, and a doer. We’re a team of bold, curious minds who thrive in momentum. The kind of people who don’t wait to be told what to do—we see what needs to be done and get to work.

We’re already in flight—building the plane while soaring at altitude—and Cogniters are the ones keeping it climbing. We take true ownership, not just of our work, but of our impact. Every decision is made with care, speed, and purpose. We know that how we show up—how we spend time, energy, and resources—makes a real difference.

Cogniters are relentless in pursuit of better. We challenge ideas, test limits, and roll up our sleeves to solve real-world problems for real-world industries. We act with urgency, think with clarity, and always push for impact.

We’re not here to coast—we’re here to build. Together.

A typical day as a Cogniter will contain the following tasks & responsibilities:

  • Manage a team of 5-10 engineers, developing services and applications for Cognite Data Fusion - a robust, state-of-the-art SaaS for industrial data.
  • Collaborate with a cross-functional team consisting of designers, product managers and program managers to ensure the team builds the right product, that is of excellent quality and is delivered on time.
  • Coaching all of your engineers with variable backgrounds, seniority and understanding of the domain they are solving to have high impact in the team.
  • Working with your team to understand the users' problems and domain.
  • Unblocking the team and collaborating with stakeholders outside of the team to resolve and mitigate problems.
  • Being actively involved in setting product and technical direction.
  • You do not shy away from writing code yourself, or help your team with code reviews, documentation, etc.
  • Dogfooding our products to try to put yourself in our users’ shoes.

We believe most of these should match you and your experience:

  • You have a background in a SaaS company
  • You have some experience with people management. The added experience of having worked as a tech lead, project manager or product manager is an advantage, but not a requirement
  • You have a genuine and keen interest in building the competency of engineers in a company and can do so emphatically
  • You have a collaborative mindset, and have a drive to always look at the greater good
  • You have experience with building applications that process high volumes of data
  • Have the motivation to work in a high-paced environment
  • Have excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
  • Have a good story about a time you created, small or large, digital impact
  • Are reliable and focused
  • Around 5+ yrs in the IT or asset-heavy industry
  • Don’t meet every single requirement? We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
