You'll work with skilled engineers on a critical authentication and authorization service, using the latest technologies and iterating quickly with end users for better product experiences.


As the first line of defense for securing privileged customer data, our work is crucial for customer and company success.

What makes a Cogniter?


A Cogniter is more than just an employee—they’re a builder, a driver, and a doer. We’re a team of bold, curious minds who thrive in momentum. The kind of people who don’t wait to be told what to do—we see what needs to be done and get to work.


We’re already in flight—building the plane while soaring at altitude—and Cogniters are the ones keeping it climbing. We take true ownership, not just of our work, but of our impact. Every decision is made with care, speed, and purpose. We know that how we show up—how we spend time, energy, and resources—makes a real difference.


Cogniters are relentless in pursuit of better. We challenge ideas, test limits, and roll up our sleeves to solve real-world problems for real-world industries. We act with urgency, think with clarity, and always push for impact.


We’re not here to coast—we’re here to build. Together.

As a Backend Engineer at Cognite you will:

  • Develop and maintain cutting edge features for Cognite Data Fusion (CDF)
  • Scale CDF, make architectural trade-offs, applying synchronous and asynchronous design patterns
  • Produce high-quality and secure software that is comprehensively tested, code reviewed and  checked in regularly for continuous integration
  • Shape our product’s direction by working closely with teams across engineering, product, and customer success
  • Continuously monitor and improve the performance, reliability, and security of our services
  • Proactively fix vulnerabilities, streamline code, and reduce technical debt
  • Keep our documentation clear, current and genuinely helpful

We believe most of these should match you and your experience:

  • Relevant and hands-on concentrated experience with software development in one or more programming languages (e.g., Kotlin, Java, Python or Rust)
  • Ability to learn other coding languages and use the language best fit for purpose
  • Hands-on experience with large-scale cloud deployments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and Kubernetes
  • Experience in a SaaS product environment is an advantage but not a requirement
  • Experience in designing, building and maintaining infrastructure and web-services at large scale
  • Expert knowledge of computer science with strong competencies in data structures, algorithms and software design
  • Proven ability to prioritize work for maximum impact
  • Strong problem-solving skills, technical troubleshooting and diagnosing complex system issues to ensure optimal performance and minimal downtime
  • Work with peers across teams to support and leverage a shared technical stack

  • 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.

What We Do

Cognite is an AI company that delivers industrial software to improve the production efficiency of Energy, Process Manufacturing, and other industrial companies.

We deliver an Industrial DataOps platform that liberates siloed data and empowers our customers to solve some of their most complex business problems with AI-powered solutions. The typical solutions we enable drive innovative new ways to approach Data Exploration, Digital Operator Rounds, Production Optimization, Turnaround Planning, and Root Cause Analysis.

We do this by automating and scaling industrial data contextualization of various sources (such as time series, engineering diagrams, equipment logs, maintenance records, 3D facility models, images, large point clouds, and more). We use AI and other tools to find and map the meaningful relationships between the data across these various sources. In addition, we provide intuitive tools that enable efficient use of analytics and automated workflows, as well as prebuilt AI capabilities and a low-code industrial agent builder, Cognite Atlas AI, that enables AI to carry out more complex operations with greater accuracy.

Why Work With Us

Employees at Cognite are pushing the envelope with the latest cloud technology, scaling industrial applications across hundreds of assets, revolutionizing industrial data models, and working with robotics. Cogniters are fast, creative, and resilient. We keep the energy high and fun, learning from our mistakes and celebrating our victories together.
