Our values

Impact: Cogniters strive to make an impact in all that they do. We are result-oriented, always asking ourselves.

Ownership: Cogniters embrace a culture of ownership. We go beyond our comfort zones to contribute to the greater good, fostering inclusivity and sharing responsibilities for challenges and success. 

Relentless: Cogniters are relentless in their pursuit of innovation. We are determined and deliverable (never ruthless or reckless), facing challenges head-on and viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth. 

We are looking for a visionary Principal Full Stack Engineer to join the Atlas AI team. Your work will be central to scaling out AI capabilities throughout our entire product suite, integrating intelligent agents into Cognite's core offerings. You'll help guide the architecture and development of the applications and services that bring these agents to life. 

• Shape the Architecture: Play a pivotal role in shaping the long-term technical vision for the Atlas AI platform, contributing to the critical architectural decisions that will define our future.
• Build a World-Class UX: Remain hands-on, turning complex industrial knowledge into understandable visuals and creating an intuitive UI experience that enables users to seamlessly leverage our AI agents.
• Evaluate & Implement AI: Work with a variety of Large Language Models (LLMs), contributing to their evaluation and benchmarking to select the best tools for complex industrial problems.
• Mentor & Elevate: Mentor senior and junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and continuous learning across the team.
• Champion Best Practices: Champion and refine best practices for software development, from code quality and testing to deployment and operations in a multi-cloud environment.

• You have a mastery of computer science fundamentals and a proven track record of designing and building complex, scalable, and resilient systems.
• You possess authoritative expertise in our primary frontend stack: TypeScript and React. While experience with frameworks like Angular or Vue is valuable, deep React knowledge is key.
• You have extensive, hands-on experience with backend languages, particularly Python, which powers much of our backend. Experience with other languages like Kotlin, Java, or Rust is a significant plus.
• You have deep, practical experience designing and operating large-scale systems in a multi-cloud environment (AWS, GCP, and Azure) using technologies like Kubernetes.
• You have a profound interest in applied AI, including working with multiple LLMs, and are excited to build products that leverage the latest advancements in the field.
• You have a proven history of mentoring engineers and leading large, impactful technical projects.
• You excel at communicating complex technical ideas to diverse audiences and thrive in a collaborative, English-speaking environment.

• Experience building applications on top of AI/ML models or large language models (LLMs).
• Knowledge of GraphQL or graph databases.
• A demonstrated history of presenting at conferences or meetups.
• Prior experience in industrial software, IoT, or large-scale data visualization.
