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. # The Impact you bring to Cognite **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 **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** - **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 & 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. ## **A snapshot of our many perks and benefits as a Cogniter** \* Join an organization of 60 different nationalities 🌐 with Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) in focus 🤝 \* A highly modern and fun working environment with sublime culture across the organization, follow us on Instagram @[cognitedata](https://www.instagram.com/cognitedata/) 📷 to know more \* Flat structure with direct access to decision-makers \* Opportunity to work with and learn from some of the best people on some of the most ambitious projects found anywhere, across industries, with cutting edge technology \* Join our [HUB](https://hub.cognite.com/) 🗣️ to be part of the conversation directly with Cogniters and our partners. \* Get access to private health services with Cognite Care. \* Hungry?
