At Cognite, we're not just building software; we're pioneering the future of industrial data with our award-winning Cognite Data Fusion® platform, recognized as the 2022 Technology Innovation Leader for Global Digital Industrial Platforms.

Our Product team is at the core of developing Cognite Data Fusion® into a robust and scalable platform for solving critical industrial data problems.

This includes enabling all types of workflows, from advanced analytics to assisting in critical decision-making. We're a strong mix of engineers, product managers, and designers, united by a deep commitment to user experience and creating products users genuinely want to use.

Our work environment is exciting, dynamic, and intense.

The Impact you bring to Cognite

As a Principal Full Stack Engineer, you'll be a key player in designing, building, and maintaining both the frontend and backend of industrial data platforms and applications. You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Drive architectural decisions and lead the implementation of scalable full stack solutions across a diverse technology landscape, taking ownership of complex problems from concept to deployment.
  • Collaborate in a fast-paced environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts.
  • Design and implement elegant APIs, intuitive user experiences, and the underlying infrastructure.
  • Influence and shape the strategic product roadmap and technical direction for key areas of our platform, working collaboratively with cross-functional leadership.
  • Work closely with our skilled users to understand their needs and build products that help them succeed.
  • Design, build, and maintain large-scale infrastructure and web services to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
  • Work with peers across teams to support and leverage a shared technical stack.

We're seeking a proactive and skilled engineer who is passionate about quality, user satisfaction, and building robust, end-to-end solutions.

  • You love making users happy and are committed to creating products they truly want to use 😄
  • You're skilled at prioritizing your tasks and distributing your time and resources most efficiently to optimize for impact.
  • You write well-structured, efficient, and maintainable code and actively champion code quality.
  • Expert knowledge of computer science with strong competencies in data structures, algorithms, and software design.
  • Relevant and hands-on concentrated experience with software development in one or more programming languages (e.g., Kotlin, Java, Python, or Rust).
  • You possess deep expertise in modern JavaScript and TypeScript, with extensive experience in leading frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue, or similar component-based architectures). Familiarity with state management patterns, build tooling (Webpack, Vite), and testing frameworks is highly valued.
  • Hands-on experience with large-scale cloud deployments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and Kubernetes.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, technical troubleshooting, and diagnosing complex system issues to ensure optimal performance and minimal downtime.
  • Proven ability to prioritize work for maximum impact.
  • You're comfortable learning new coding languages and choosing the best tool for the job.
  • You're accustomed to working in an English-speaking environment.

As we're hiring across several teams, many past experiences can be a bonus, for example:

  • Experience mentoring junior engineers, leading significant projects, or designing and scaling complex full stack architectures will be a distinct advantage.
  • Prior experience in industrial software, IoT, or large-scale data visualization projects is a plus.
  • Experience in a SaaS product environment is an advantage but not a requirement.
