Cognite is seeking a Senior Product Designer to join its Oslo-based Design Studio. You will invent, prototype, and scale next-generation product experiences on top of Cognite Data Fusion (CDF), the company's industrial AI and data platform.
In this role, you'll partner closely with product, engineering, strategy, and customers to uncover unmet needs, validate hypotheses, and transform ambiguous problems into elegant, testable, data-aware solutions. You'll move rapidly from insight to concept to working experience, using advanced AI tools and methods.
Key responsibilities include:
**Product Design Excellence:**
- Prototype with real data and real models by connecting to mock data or internal APIs, validating flows under realistic latency, streaming, and cost constraints.
- Design for probabilistic systems, authoring 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 compelling stories through narratives, visuals, and prototypes that make the future feel obvious and shippable.
- Lead design sessions and facilitate cross-functional workshops.
**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 by defining 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.
Cognite operates at the forefront of industrial digitalization, building AI and data solutions that solve the world's hardest, highest-impact problems. The company has unmatched industrial heritage and a comprehensive suite of AI capabilities, including low-code AI agents. The moonshot: unlock $100B in customer value by 2035 and redefine how global industry works.
**Requirements:**
- 7+ 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 and 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 and communication: proactive stakeholder management, clear storytelling, and comfort presenting to executives and customers
