Our values Impact: Cogniters strive to make an impact in all that they do. We are result-oriented, always asking ourselves. Ownership: Cogniters embrace a culture of ownership. We go beyond our comfort zones to contribute to the greater good, fostering inclusivity and sharing responsibilities for challenges and success.  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. 

We're building a new AI-native design studio at Cognite to invent, prototype, and scale next-generation product experiences on top of Cognite Data Fusion (CDF). As a Senior Product Designer, you'll use advanced AI tools and methods to move from insight → concept → working experience with high speed and clarity. You'll partner closely with product, engineering, strategy, and customers to uncover unmet needs, validate hypotheses, and turn ambiguous problems into elegant, testable, data-aware solutions. You're hands-on, experimental, and fluent in AI— converting user research to compelling prototypes, and shaping trustworthy, human-in-the-loop experiences that deliver business impact. Key Responsibilities: Product Design Excellence

• Prototype with real data and real models: connect to mock data or internal APIs; validate flows under realistic latency, streaming, and cost constraints
• Design for probabilistic systems: author patterns for imperfect answers, disagreement handling, correction, and escalation to humans-in-the-loop
• Express ideas at multiple fidelities: from prompt-generated concept boards to interactive agents, micro-workflows, and production-ready UI
• Partner with business designers and product strategists to evaluate desirability, feasibility, and viability; shape experience KPIs and success metrics
• Tell the story through compelling narratives, visuals, and prototypes that make the future feel obvious—and shippable
• Lead design sessions and facilitate cross-functional workshops

Key Responsibilities: Design Execution & Ownership

• Own outcomes end-to-end from discovery to shipped experience: research plans, flows, systems, content, and component-level detail
• Operationalize AI in the UX: define tool/agent contracts, error states, monitoring hooks, and feedback loops to continuously improve quality and cost
• Collaborate tightly with engineering to scope increments, derisk hard problems early, and land details with high craft
• Continuously validate via user research, experiment design, and rapid iteration; make evidence-based tradeoffs across user value, reliability, and cost

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of product design experience
• Fluency with AI-native workflows: prompt design, evaluation, and chaining; agents/tools; RAG; model/runtime constraints (latency, token/cost budgets).
• Hands-on prototyping with real data (e.g., connecting prototypes to APIs/SDKs, lightweight code, or no/low-code tools) to validate feasibility and UX.
• Strong user research skills: plan and run studies, synthesize qualitative & quantitative signals into clear insights and direction.
• Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex, data-heavy or AI-powered experiences, including trust/safety and human-in-the-loop patterns.
• Excellent collaboration & communication: proactive stakeholder management, clear storytelling, and comfort presenting to executives and customers.
