<h1>How you’ll demonstrate <span style="color: rgb(0, 41, 255);"><strong>Ownership</strong></span></h1>
<p>We´re looking for a Senior AI native designer for our Cognite Oslo team that will improve, invent, prototype, and scale next-generation product experiences for Cognite Data Fusion (CDF), within the Knowledge Graph area.</p>
<p>As a Senior Product Designer, you will shape how industrial data is  modeled, stored, governed and made actionable through AI-empowered workflows. You’ll move from insight → concept → working experience with speed and clarity, partnering closely with product, engineering, strategy, and customers to design intelligent systems that sit at the core of CDF.</p>
<p>You are hands-on, systems-oriented, and fluent in AI. You understand how agents, tools, and data pipelines work together. You design trustworthy, human-in-the-loop experiences that operate reliably under real-world constraints and deliver measurable business impact.</p>

<p><strong>Product Design Excellence</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Design AI-empowered industrial experiences</strong> that span data storage, modelling and data governance of industrial data.</li>
<li><strong>Prototype with real data and real models</strong> by testing on real world industrial use cases with your users and product counterparts; validate flows under realistic latency, streaming, reliability, and cost constraints.</li>
<li><strong>Design for probabilistic systems</strong> operating on imperfect data: handle schema ambiguity, partial ingestion failures, conflicting signals, and uncertainty.</li>
<li><strong>Define patterns for human-in-the-loop supervision</strong> across data mapping, anomaly detection, enrichment, and agent-driven automation.</li>
<li><strong>Express ideas at multiple fidelities</strong>: from system diagrams and agent/tool contracts to interactive prototypes, micro-workflows, and production-ready UI.</li>
<li><strong>Partner with product strategists and business designers</strong> to evaluate desirability, feasibility, and viability; shape experience KPIs tied to adoption, data quality, reliability, and operational efficiency.</li>
<li><strong>Tell compelling stories </strong>through narratives, visuals, and prototypes that make complex data systems understandable and shippable.</li>
<li><strong>Lead design sessions and facilitate cross-functional workshops</strong> to align around architecture, workflows, and long-term product vision.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Design Execution & Ownership</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Own outcomes end-to-end</strong> from discovery through shipped experience, including research plans, flows, information architecture, interaction patterns, and system-level design decisions.</li>
<li><strong>Operationalize AI in the UX</strong>: define agent and tool contracts, escalation paths, monitoring hooks, logging requirements, and feedback loops to continuously improve system quality and cost efficiency.</li>
<li><strong>Collaborate tightly with engineering</strong> to scope increments, de-risk technically complex integrations early, and land high-craft solutions within platform constraints.</li>
<li><strong>Establish scalable design patterns</strong> for data-heavy workflows and evolve the design system thoughtfully as new integration use cases emerge.</li>
<li><strong>Drive clarity in ambiguous, cross-functional environments</strong> and make well-reasoned design decisions that balance user value, reliability, performance, and cost.</li>
<li><strong>Continuously validate solutions </strong>through user research, usability testing, and experiment design; make evidence-based tradeoffs across usability, automation, and operational risk.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Contribute to best practices</strong> for AI-native product design and help shape how Data Integrations evolve over time.</p>
</div>
<div><strong>Required Qualifications</strong></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><strong>5+ years</strong> of product design experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex, data-heavy or AI-powered systems.</li>
<li><strong>Strong understanding of AI-native workflows</strong>, including prompt design, tool/agent orchestration, RAG patterns, and model/runtime constraints such as latency and token/cost budgets.</li>
<li><strong>Experience designing products</strong> that operate on structured and unstructured data, including ingestion, transformation, schema mapping, or data pipeline workflows.</li>
<li><strong>Hands-on prototyping experience</strong> using real data sources, APIs, SDKs, lightweight code, or no/low-code tools to validate feasibility and user experience.</li>
<li><strong>Demonstrated ability to design for probabilistic and imperfect systems</strong>, including error states, uncertainty handling, trust patterns, and human-in-the-loop supervision.</li>
<li><strong>Strong user research skills</strong>: ability to plan and run studies, synthesize qualitative and quantitative insights, and translate findings into actionable product direction.</li>
<li><strong>Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills</strong>; able to collaborate effectively with engineering-heavy teams and present complex ideas clearly to executives and customers.</li>
<li><strong>Proven ability to work</strong> in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with a bias for action and structured decision-making.</li>
<li><strong>A portfolio</strong> showcasing end-to-end ownership, systems thinking, and thoughtful design of complex workflows.</li>
