What Cognite is Relentless to achieve

We thrive in challenges. We challenge assumptions. We execute with speed and ownership. If you view obstacles as signals to step forward - not step back - you’ll feel at home here. Join us in this venture where AI and data meet ingenuity, and together, we forge the path to a smarter, more connected industrial future.

How you’ll demonstrate Ownership

• Architectural Ownership of the Design System: Own the design, development, and maintenance of the core Design System and component library, ensuring code quality, security, and versioning integrity for consumption across the enterprise.
• Drive Developer Experience (DX): Act as the key liaison between the Design and Product teams, focusing on developer documentation, tooling, and accessibility standards to maximize the system's ease of use for external application builders.

The Impact you bring to Cognite

• Implement AI-Native Components: Design and build highly reusable components that are explicitly ready to surface AI interactions, handle context transfer, or integrate advanced data models (e.g., dynamic forms, intelligent modals).
• Drives Code Quality and Standards: Apply mastery of TypeScript/React to write clean, high-performance code, and enforce the use of design tokens and the components throughout the lifecycle.
• User-Obsessed Design: Maintain an obsession with the user experience, treating the external and internal developers as the primary customers and prioritizing their needs for efficient and intuitive component consumption.
• Mentorship and Knowledge Transfer: Proactively mentor junior engineers and peers by establishing best practices for component consumption, architecture, and maintenance across engineering teams.

Required Qualifications

• Expert-Level Frontend: 5+ years of experience in professional software development with deep expertise in the modern JavaScript ecosystem, including React and TypeScript.
• Design System: 3+ years of experience with deep, demonstrated expertise in architecting, building, and maintaining multi-application component libraries or design systems.
• Platform/Library Specialization: Proven ability to manage the lifecycle, versioning, and distribution of shared component packages across a large organization (e.g., Monorepos, Module Federation).
• AI-First Integration Experience: Proven exposure to working with AI in products, including implementing features that surface AI-generated insights or handle data validation and source attribution.
• User-Obsessed Design & DX: Demonstrated obsession with developer experience (DX) and delightful user experiences for both industrial users and developers
• Architectural Strategy: Proven ability to define and lead technical strategy for complex, ambiguous problems, specifically regarding component interoperability and state management.

Preferred Experience

• Visualization & 3D/2D: Experience with specialized visualization tools, including dynamic charting components, 2D file viewers, or 3D/data exploration.
• Tooling Development: Experience building developer tooling, CLI integration, or component generators to improve platform consumption efficiency.
• Data Model Interoperability: Experience making components data-model-aware (e.g., GraphQL, standardized APIs) to ensure seamless integration and state management.
