Senior Interaction Designer

About Cognite and Cogniters

Cognite is a global leader in industrial software with our Industrial DataOps platform, Cognite Data Fusion®, at the core. We were awarded the 2022 Technology Innovation Leader for Global Digital Industrial Platforms. 

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. The industrial data problem is at the heart of transforming asset-intensive industries to be safer, more sustainable and more profitable. 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 many different technologies, each good at solving various challenges.

To build the best possible product, we believe in autonomous teams with developers, designers and product managers working closely together. The Cognite Product Design Team makes an extreme impact on Cognite and our products. Our team is literally the team taking Cognite everywhere, because we are everywhere. We use the latest technologies ☁️ and work closely with end users to iterate quickly towards better product experiences 💻. That means that our users have the best data quality possible and ensure better insights for the user through data science and physical process modeling. Usability and accessibility are of importance. And as a team we are spread across two regions, primarily in Norway while growing in the U.S. It’s an exciting time to join Cognite as we are helping define how data can play a key role in transforming the industrial landscape. From a design perspective, it’s rare when you can say you played a part in establishing user expectations across an entire industry.
