As a Senior Data Scientist at Cognite, you will work on challenging data problems with leaders in the industry. You will be a part of cross-functional teams that include data engineers, solution architects, and project managers. Together, your focus will be on configuring, deploying, and operationalizing digital solutions in sectors such as Oil and Gas, Power & Utilities, and Manufacturing.

Additionally, you will engage with clients and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to understand their desired outcomes, lead discovery workshops, and provide insights on potential strategies and obstacles, ensuring the technical solution aligns with industrial reality.

The Data Science team is a part of the AMER delivery team in our Global Delivery organization. Global Delivery is truly global, with offices in Houston & Phoenix (USA), Tokyo (Japan), Oslo (Norway), and Bengaluru (India). We are a good mix of Project Managers, Senior Data Scientists, Data Engineers, and Solution Architects with deep domain expertise. We are responsible for delivering successful projects that are flexible and scalable, and foster adoption of our product. In sum, we derive valuable insights from previously hidden data, enabling workers and leaders to transform how heavy asset industries operate to become more efficient and sustainable.

As a Senior Data Scientist you are responsible for the following, but not limited to:

• Develop and deploy scalable solutions for customer use cases from Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, and Power & Utilities industries using Cognite’s core capabilities.
• Participate in intensive use case generation workshops with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to understand the problem, industry domain knowledge, and how it maps to the data.
• Perform data cleansing and exploratory data analysis.
• Implement physical models / machine learning models in Python and deploy to our model hosting environment.
• Design and develop domain-specific information and data models.
• Apply GenAI techniques to enhance data-driven decision-making in customer use cases.
• Develop robust front-end User Interfaces (UIs) and dashboards using Streamlit, Grafana, Power BI, Plotly or Dash. Experience with React for bespoke UI development is a plus.
• Leverage strong understanding of solution architecture to ensure deployed solutions are flexible, scalable, and fully integrated into the client's industrial landscape.
• Utilize and contribute to solution templates and best practices within the Data Science team.
• Mentoring and coaching junior team members is an important part of being a Senior at Cognite.
• Collaborate with data engineers, project managers, and solution architects on project deliveries to enable our customers to achieve the full potential of our industrial dataops platform.
• Support customers and partners in conducting data science tasks with Cognite products.
