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.

The Office of the CTO is responsible for the architecture of Cognite Data Fusion, and ensuring it has a robust and scalable platform for solving industrial data problems for our customers. We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated software architect that can lead the technical design, development, and evolution of our Atlas AI architecture. The architecture covers all of our Atlas AI product area, including the agent builder workbench, agentic runtime, sourcing of LLMs, RAG systems and more. As a principal architect you will be responsible for the technical design of our AI services and technology choices. These designs and choices must give Cognite a long term competitive advantage by allowing us to execute on our product roadmap, while maintaining scalability, robustness and cost efficiency.

As the Lead Architect of Atlas AI at Cognite you will :

• Lead the technical design of our Atlas AI product
• Make technical decisions that give Cognite a competitive edge
• Ensure that the architecture in the Atlas AI Product Area is aligned with Cognite’s architecture principles, that it is scalable, can meet its SLOs and that cloud cost scales in a reasonable manner
• Ensuring LLM-powered services are built in a sustainable way that can be systematically iterated upon and improved
• As part of the Office of the CTO, contribute to the overall architecture and architecture principles at Cognite
• Evaluate and select technologies, frameworks, libraries and tools and drive the adoption of these in our teams
• Lead by example by working with the teams to ensure the right level of standardization (and to help out where specialization is needed)
• Work cross functionally to understand the needs of our customers, partners and delivery teams building AI agents on top of Atlas AI
• Work closely with delivery teams and other product areas to ensure our AI platform caters to their needs, for example making sure that AI agents can be used for data onboarding and contextualization
• Work closely with security and legal teams to make sure our AI products comply with security and legal requirements, for example the EU AI Act
• Mentor senior developers

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