With unmatched industrial heritage and a comprehensive suite of AI capabilities, including low-code AI agents, Cognite accelerates the digital transformation to drive operational improvements.\nWe thrive in challenges. We challenge assumptions. We execute with speed and ownership. If you view obstacles as signals to step forward - not backwards - you’ll feel right at home here. \nOur Moonshot is bold: Unlock $100B in customer value by 2035, and redefine how global industry works. Join us in this venture where AI and data meet ingenuity, and together, we will forge the path to a smarter, more connected industrial future.\nHow you’ll demonstrate Ownership\nPlatform Ownership: Design, build, and operate the core serverless execution engine and Workflows orchestration layer that serve as foundational primitives for CDF’s AI and automation capabilities.\nReliability Engineering: Own uptime, latency SLOs, and incident response for platform services ensuring Functions execute deterministically and Workflows progress without data loss or silent failures.\nScalability: Architect for multi-tenant & multi-cloud, high-throughput workloads. Design scheduling, queueing, and retry mechanisms that degrade gracefully under pressure.\nAPI Design: Define and evolve clean API-first architecture, versioned REST and event-driven APIs that downstream engineering teams and external customers depend on.\nObservability: Instrument services with distributed tracing, structured logging, and alerting (Open-telemetry / Prometheus / Grafana / Honeycomb stack) so failures surface before customers notice.\nCI/CD & Testing: Champion test automation - unit, integration, and smoke tests and maintain deployment pipelines that ship to production with confidence.\nPerformance: Profile and resolve bottlenecks in execution throughput, cold-start latencies, and cross-service call chains driving a “snappy” platform experience for industrial workloads.\nCost Efficiency (Bonus): Model compute and storage costs for functions execution; identify and implement optimizations that reduce cloud spend without sacrificing reliability.\nThe Impactyou bring to Cognite\n3-6 Years of Engineering: Proven track record building and operating production backend services at scale.\nExpertise: Deep mastery of JVM languages (Kotlin preferred, Java acceptable), Python(FastAPI), distributed systems patterns, and cloud-native service design (Kubernetes, Azure, GCP, AWS, Private cloud).\nWorkflow & Orchestration: Hands-on experience with workflow engines (Conductor, Apache Airflow, or equivalent) and event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub).\nData & Storage: Comfortable working with relational databases (PostgreSQL) & non-relational databases, object storage(Data-lakes), and caching layers (Redis) in multi-tenant environments.\nObservability Stack: Practical experience with Open-telemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana for instrumentation and operational insight.\nML Platform Exposure: experience supporting ML workloads & notebooks in production, whether through job scheduling, resource management, experiment tracking integration, or model serving infrastructure.\nContextualisation Domain (Bonus): Familiarity with industrial knowledge graph construction, entity resolution, or NLP/CV pipelines as they relate to industrial asset data is a strong differentiator.\nFull-Stack Awareness (Bonus): Familiarity with React or TypeScript is a plus for consuming and dogfooding your own platform’s developer tooling.\nThe Platform Thinking Spirit: A passion for building composable, well-documented, and automated platform systems that empower other engineers including ML engineers to build faster.Nice to have\nML Platform & Contextualisation:\nML Workload Support: Build and extend platform primitives compute scheduling, environment management, and secrets handling, that enable ML engineers to run model training, fine-tuning, and batch inference jobs reliably.\nContextualisation Pipelines: Support the engineering infrastructure behind Cognite’s Contextualisation capabilities (entity matching, asset hierarchy inference, P&ID parsing) by ensuring the platform can orchestrate long-running, GPU-aware, and data-intensive ML workflows without manual intervention.\nVector & Embedding Infrastructure (Bonus): Familiarity with serving or storing vector embeddings to support semantic search and RAG-based contextualisation use cases.\nModel Lifecycle Awareness: Understand model versioning, A/B experiment tracking, and the boundary between platform concerns and ML framework concerns, so the platform stays lean while ML teams stay unblocked.\n\nLearn more about us\nImpact 2025\nCognite's Industrial AI: Moonshot\nWe’re globally recognized domain experts with an international presence that spans Phoenix, Houston, Oslo Tokyo, Bengaluru, and Abu Dhabi.\n Equal Opportunity\nCognite is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment at work and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive the same level of consideration for employment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5229,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial IoT (IIoT)","Manufacturing & Industrial Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T12:24:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":41,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.55,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":20,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cognite-software-engineer-4","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cognite-software-engineer-4.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T18:21:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3354,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4475},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4475"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcognite-software-engineer-4"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcognite-software-engineer-4"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcognite-software-engineer-4"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cognite-software-engineer-4\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcognite-software-engineer-4"}]}
