We support one another, ask incisive questions, and give constructive feedback.

The Impact you bring to Cognite

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll be a key player in designing, building, and maintaining both the frontend and backend of industrial data platforms and applications. You'll have the opportunity to:
  • Drive architectural decisions and lead the implementation of scalable full stack solutions across a diverse technology landscape, taking ownership of complex problems from concept to deployment.
  • Collaborate in a fast-paced environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts.
  • Design and implement elegant APIs, intuitive user experiences, and the underlying infrastructure.
  • Influence and shape the strategic product roadmap and technical direction for key areas of our platform, working collaboratively with cross-functional leadership.
  • Work closely with our skilled users to understand their needs and build products that help them succeed.
  • Design, build, and maintain large-scale infrastructure and web services to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
  • Work with peers across teams to support and leverage a shared technical stack.


We're seeking a proactive and skilled engineer who is passionate about quality, user satisfaction, and building robust, end-to-end solutions.
  • You love making users happy and are committed to creating products they truly want to use
  • You're skilled at prioritizing your tasks and distributing your time and resources most efficiently to optimize for impact.
  • You write well-structured, efficient, and maintainable code and actively champion code quality.
  • Expert knowledge of computer science with strong competencies in data structures, algorithms, and software design.
  • Relevant and hands-on concentrated experience with software development in one or more programming languages (e.g., Kotlin, Java, Python, or Rust).
  • You possess deep expertise in modern JavaScript and TypeScript, with extensive experience in leading frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue, or similar component-based architectures). Familiarity with state management patterns, build tooling (Webpack, Vite), and testing frameworks is highly valued.
  • Hands-on experience with large-scale cloud deployments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and Kubernetes.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, technical troubleshooting, and diagnosing complex system issues to ensure optimal performance and minimal downtime.
  • Proven ability to prioritize work for maximum impact.
  • You're comfortable learning new coding languages and choosing the best tool for the job.
  • You're accustomed to working in an English-speaking environment.

As we're hiring across several teams, many past experiences can be a bonus, for example:
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers, leading significant projects, or designing and scaling complex full stack architectures will be a distinct advantage.
  • Prior experience in industrial software, IoT, or large-scale data visualization projects is a plus.
  • Experience in a SaaS product environment is an advantage but not a requirement.
  • Experience building mobile applications.


Don't meet every single requirement? We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
