Job description

What Cognite is: Relentless to achieve

Cognite operates at the forefront of industrial digitalization, building AI , and data solutions that solve the world's hardest, highest-impact problems. 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.

We 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.

Our 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.

How you'll demonstrate Ownership

At Cognite, the Global Value Delivery team leads software implementation, deployment & adoption for clients, and helps them accelerate their digital transformation efforts with Cognite's product suite. We consist of people with diverse and high-performance backgrounds, ranging from Management Consulting, to Industry and Software development. We seek to continuously improve how we work with our clients, how we work together as a team, and how we develop as individuals.

Do you see how data can be used, modeled and visualized in new ways to improve decisions in industrial engineering, but you experience that the tools and data availability is insufficient to create impact? If you want to change that, and take part in forming what the future of the industry will look like you should join our Cognite and become a part of the team responsible for delivering Cognite's cutting edge industry solutions to our customers!

The data science team at Cognite is responsible for understanding our customers' business goals and challenges, scoping and building solutions to address these, and growing Cognite's impact within our customers' digital transformation efforts. As a Data Scientist in the team, you will work in cross-functional pods of other data scientists, data engineers, solution architects and project managers to configure, deploy, and operationalize digital solutions across the oil and gas, renewables/sustainability, power & utilities, and manufacturing industries. You will work with the customer to understand their desired outcome, conduct discovery workshops, and advise on possible approaches and potential pitfalls. You will build solutions based on physics models and/or using machine learning techniques, build dashboards for visualizing the solutions, and scale and deploy solutions in production using Cognite's core capabilities. The position will give you a unique opportunity to work with and learn from people with various backgrounds in business, software, and industry.
