How you’ll demonstrate Ownership
As an AI Engineer, you'll design and build complex AI-powered solutions—agentic systems, user-facing applications, and intelligent workflows—deployed in real customer environments. You'll work closely with customer teams, internal stakeholders, and product engineering to take solutions from idea to production.
This role demands hands-on technical depth, creativity in solution design, and the ability to move fluidly across domains, tools, and stakeholders.
The Impact you bring to Cognite
- Own deployments end-to-end. Build cross-stack solutions using Cognite Data Fusion and agentic frameworks to solve real customer problems
- Work with real-world systems and data. Orchestrate integrations between AI components, Cognite data models, and existing customer systems using scalable engineering practices
- Design agent workflows. Architect and implement multi-agent systems that combine LLMs, tool use, evaluation loops, and reasoning over industrial data
- Execute directly with customers. Collaborate with technical teams on-site to refine use cases and integrate solutions into production environments.
- Build interactive UIs. Create lightweight but powerful interfaces that deliver value for executives and operators alike.
- Evangelize and enable. Translate technical work into compelling narratives that inspire internal and external stakeholders.
- Shape the product. Feed learnings and customer feedback into the product roadmap systematically—ensuring we build the most compelling industrial AI platform in the market.
Required Qualifications
- You've built with AI systems. Hands-on experience with LLMs, embeddings, prompt engineering, and related techniques
- You're a strong full-stack engineer. You can work across the stack and own delivery of functional, user-facing solutions: Frontend: React (or similar) + TypeScript, Backend: Python, Kotlin, or similar for orchestration and API integration
- You have 3+ years of relevant experience in software engineering, AI solution architecture, or similar roles—including direct customer-facing work.
- You've shipped agent-based applications. Experience building LLM-driven or agentic systems (e.g., using LangChain or similar frameworks).
- You default to building. Bias toward rapid iteration, showing rather than telling, and learning by doing.
- You communicate clearly. Strong storytelling skills for both technical and executive audiences.
- You write quality code. Clean, maintainable, and scalable—with solid practices around testing, version control, and code review.
- You work at the frontier. Familiarity with modern AI development workflows, rapid iteration, and agentic engineering tools as part of your daily workflow.
Preferred Experience
- Strong UI/UX instincts for building demos and apps quickly
- Understanding of industrial data types (time series, knowledge graphs)
- Experience with Cognite Data Fusion
- Familiarity with vector databases and RAG architectures
- Cloud-native development experience (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Exposure to industrial domains—manufacturing, energy, process industries
- Startup or high-velocity product environment experience
- Experience with industrial control systems
- Deep fluency with agentic coding tools and an understanding of what they mean for the future of software engineering—and industrial workflows
