What is a Data Engineer at Cognite?
As a Data Engineer at Cognite, you will play a critical role in realizing the company’s core mission: liberating industrial data to power sustainable, data-driven decisions. Cognite is a global leader in industrial software-as-a-service (SaaS), and its flagship product, Cognite Data Fusion (CDF), acts as a central engine that ingests, cleans, and contextualizes massive streams of operational technology (OT), information technology (IT), and visual data. Your work will directly impact how heavy industries—such as energy, manufacturing, and shipping—operationalize their data to reduce carbon footprints, optimize asset performance, and scale artificial intelligence models.
This role is highly technical and demands a deep understanding of data modeling, distributed computing, and pipeline orchestration. You will design, build, and maintain robust data pipelines that process massive volumes of time-series, geospatial, and structured relational data. Unlike traditional software environments, engineering at Cognite requires you to solve complex data integration challenges where data sources are often siloed, legacy-heavy, and highly fragmented.
You will work alongside highly collaborative teams of Data Scientists, Product Managers, and Solution Architects. Together, you will build scalable data architectures that transform raw industrial telemetry into structured, queryable assets. If you are passionate about solving real-world, high-scale engineering problems that bridge the physical and digital worlds, this position offers an unmatched opportunity for professional growth and impact.
