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.
