Cognite - AI for Industry

<p></p><div><div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>What Cognite is:</b><b> </b><b>Relentless</b><b> </b><b>to achieve</b></h1>
<p></p>
<p>Cognite operates at the forefront of <b>industrial digitalization, building AI</b>, and data solutions that solve the world's hardest, highest-impact problems. With unmatched industrial heritage and a comprehensive suite of AI capabilities, including low-code AI agents, Cognite accelerates the digital transformation to drive operational improvements.</p>
<p>
We thrive in challenges. We challenge assumptions. We execute with speed and ownership. If you view obstacles as signals to step forward - not backwards - you'll feel right at home here.</p>
<p>
Our Moonshot is bold: Unlock $100B in customer value by 2035, and redefine how global industry works. Join us in this venture where AI and data meet ingenuity, and together, we will forge the path to a smarter, more connected industrial future.</p></div><p></p><div><br>
<h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
About the role</b></h1>
<p>
Cognite's European Delivery organisation is growing in both scale and technical ambition. As Manager of Data Engineering, you will lead, develop, and retain a team of Data Engineers operating across some of the most complex industrial AI engagements in the market &mdash; ensuring they are technically strong, professionally developed, and set up to deliver at the standard our customers expect.</p>
<p>
This is not a pure people management role. You will carry a meaningful delivery commitment &mdash; approximately 50% billable capacity &mdash; working on customer projects alongside your team. Your credibility as a manager depends on being a practitioner: you need to understand the work at depth in order to coach it, assess it, and<br>
raise the bar on it.</p>
<p>
You will be part of the Value Delivery (VD) Europe profession leadership team and work closely with Portfolio Managers, and cross-functional leaders across Value Delivery.</p>
<h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
How you'll demonstrate </b><b>Ownership</b></h1>
</div>
<div><p><b>People Development &amp; Performance</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Own the professional development of your Data Engineers spanning junior to seasoned Data Engineers, running structured 1:1s, calibrated performance reviews, and growth conversations grounded in the Data</li>
<li>Engineering framework.</li>
<li>Provide technically specific coaching &mdash; not generic management feedback. Your engineers should leave conversations with a clearer understanding of what good looks like and how to close the gap.</li>
<li>Identify and address skill gaps proactively, before they surface as delivery problems on customer engagements.</li>
<li>Build a team culture of ownership, technical rigour, and AI-first delivery &mdash; consistent with the behaviours defined in the EDF at every level</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Delivery Accountability</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Carry approximately 50% billable capacity on customer projects &mdash; this is a firm expectation, not a stretch target.</li>
<li>Review Statements of Work (SOWs) before your engineers are committed to them: assess scope fit, identify skill gaps, and flag delivery risks before they become customer problems.</li>
<li>Champion your team's interests in staffing decisions &mdash; actively match engineers to engagements where they can deliver and grow, not just where there is a vacancy to fill.</li>
<li>Act as an escalation point when delivery gets hard. Be the steady hand, not a passive observer.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Profession &amp; Team Building</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Contribute to standardising delivery practices across Value Delivery Europe &mdash; drive consistency in how we design, build, and document data engineering solutions.</li>
<li>Organise and lead professional development sessions relevant to the team's growth areas and project landscape.</li>
<li>Collect, prioritise, and escalate product feedback from your engineers and customers to the relevant internal teams.</li>
<li>Lead or contribute to hiring for your team &mdash; define what good looks like for each level and bring that standard to interviews and onboarding.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>AI-First Leadership</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Model and reinforce AI-first delivery practices across your team &mdash; not as a policy, but as a standard of work.</li>
<li>Hold your engineers to the AI fluency expectations defined in the EDF at each level: daily use, responsible validation, knowledge sharing, and continuous upskilling.</li>
<li>Stay current on AI tooling relevant to industrial data engineering and bring that knowledge into your team's practice.</li>
</ul>
</div><div></div><div><div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>What we are looking for</b></h1>
<p><b>
Required</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Proven hands-on data engineering background &mdash; production-grade Python, SQL, REST APIs, and cloud-native pipeline development. You must be able to review your team's technical work and have credible technical conversations with customers.</li>
<li>At least one year of meaningful association with Cognite's platform and products, with direct delivery experience on customer engagements. External candidates will not be considered for this role.</li>
<li>Demonstrated ability to develop people &mdash; not just manage tasks. You have concrete examples of engineers you have helped grow, with specific feedback that changed how they work.</li>
<li>Customer-facing confidence: you can hold a technical conversation with a senior customer stakeholder, translate engineering decisions into business language, and manage expectations under pressure.</li>
<li>Strong operational judgement: you can read a SOW, spot a risk, and have a difficult conversation about scope before it becomes a delivery failure.</li>
</ul>
</div></div><div><p><b>Strong Advantage</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Formal or informal people management experience &mdash; direct reports, tech leads, or structured mentorship programmes.</li>
<li>Deep Cognite Data Fusion expertise: data modelling, SDK development, AI/LLM integration patterns, deployment packs.</li>
<li>Experience working in a Value Delivery or professional services environment where you were simultaneously accountable for delivery and team capability. Familiarity with Cognite's EDF and comfort using it as a coaching and calibration tool.</li>
<li>Track record of hiring &mdash; you know what good looks like at different levels and you can articulate it clearly.</li>
</ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>How We Think About This Role</b></h2>
<p>
The best candidate for this role is an E3 Data Engineer &mdash; or equivalent &mdash; who is ready to multiply their impact through others, not just through their own technical output. Technical credibility is the foundation. A manager who cannot assess their engineers' work, engage meaningfully in SOW reviews, or hold a technical conversation with a customer will lose the team's respect quickly in this environment. People development is the job. The 50% delivery commitment is real &mdash; but the primary measure of success in this role is whether the Data Engineers on your team are growing, performing, and staying.</p>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Why This Role</b></h2>
<ul><li>High visibility within Cognite's European Delivery organisation &mdash; direct line to VP Delivery Europe.</li>
<li>Meaningful influence over how Data Engineering is practised and developed across VD Europe.</li>
<li>Ownership of a team at a critical growth stage &mdash; the work you do here shapes the function for years.</li>
<li>Part of a profession leadership team that is actively building something, not maintaining the status quo.</li></ul></div><div></div><div><br>

<b>Reporting to:</b> Head of Engineering<br>
<b>Office Environment:</b> Hybrid, Central London Office<br>
<b>Type:</b> Full time, Permanent</p><p></p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b><br>
About QuantSpark</b></h2><p>
QuantSpark is an award-winning AI and data consultancy, but we don't just advise, we build. We help businesses in the UK and beyond, as well as governments, apply data, analytics and AI for measurable human and societal benefit, not just profit. This means tackling real-world challenges, innovating at scale, and forging solutions that deliver real impact to our clients.</p><p>
Our culture is built on meritocracy of ideas, where the best thinking wins regardless of seniority, a place where intelligent failure is treated as something to learning form, and where we seriously invest in people with opportunities for career acceleration, ownership over projects, and a personalised &pound;6K per year L&amp;D budget. We&rsquo;ve recently been named as finalist in the Culture 100 Awards, shortlisted from more than 5,200 UK companies, with 93% of our team rating their experience here positively in May 2026.</p><p></p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b><br>
Our Client Portfolio</b></h2><p>
We work with prestigious, high-growth organisations and sector leaders, in the UK and internationally:</p><ul><li><b>Financial Services &amp; Private Equity:</b> Delivering AI-powered analytics, risk, and operational tools.</li><li><b>Retail &amp; Consumer Brands:</b> Optimising pricing, inventory, and engagement through actionable analytics.</li><li><b>Asset Management:</b> Developing investment infrastructure and automated risk management systems.</li><li><b>Public Sector:</b> Trusted by government departments for fraud analytics, predictive maintenance, and operations optimisation.</li><li><b>SaaS &amp; Manufacturing:</b> Driving technological transformation and efficiency across verticals.</li></ul><p></p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b><br>
The Role</b></h2><p>
As Engineering Manager, you'll lead a team of 4 Data Engineers, 1 AI Engineer and 1 QA, and sit on the wider management team. A good portion of your week will be the coaching and line-managing of that team, growing people, unblocking them and holding the bar on quality. The rest will be spent delivering across a mix of client engagements and our own product development. This is a player-coach role, not pure people management, you'll stay hands-on enough to make architectural calls, review code and step in on the hard problems when needed.</p><p>
Using AI well is core to the job, knowing where it genuinely adds value, where it doesn't, and how to embed it sensibly into how your team delivers and what you build for clients, without cutting corners on quality, security or judgement.</p><ul><li>Oversee and architect delivery of multiple software and data projects, ensuring scalability, security, and maintainability.</li><li>Guide and mentor engineers from junior to senior level, fostering technical growth and a high-performance culture.</li><li>Champion the practical, responsible adoption of AI across engineering workflows, tooling, and client solutions.</li><li>Partner with product managers and technical leads on deliverables, resourcing, and timelines.</li><li>Drive innovation in engineering processes, promoting best practices, DevOps, and technical standards.</li><li>Operate calmly between competing priorities, making clear trade-offs across delivery, people, and quality.</li><li>Engage with client stakeholders, managing partnerships and ensuring solutions are adopted.</li></ul><p></p><p><b><br>
You Should Hit the Apply Button If</b></p><p>
We're a lean consultancy scaling deliberately. A lot of what you'd take for granted at a larger firm is still yours to build such as engineering standards, delivery processes, tooling, the shape of the team itself. We move fast, we take on hard problems that often the bigger consultancies haven&rsquo;t been able to solve. You will have real autonomy and a genuine say in how engineering works at QuantSpark, but you'll also be building the road as you drive it. That calls for someone comfortable with ambiguity, willing to make the call on imperfect information, and is ready to get hands on, helping to build the organisation.</p><ul><li>You excel at managing teams, understand 'culture add' and how to inspire and coach a team to do their best work.</li><li>You bring hands-on experience across software and data &mdash; for example Python (Flask/Django), React.js, and analytics/data engineering (building pipelines, models, and data products).</li><li>You're fluent in software and data architecture, containerisation, and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure).</li><li>You understand the value of AI and know how to use it wisely, helping your team pick the right tools for the right problems.</li><li>You've managed cross-functional teams, mentored engineers, and championed technical and professional growth.</li><li>You can hold competing priorities at once and still keep a team focused, motivated, and performing.</li><li>You're passionate about DevOps and modern tooling, continuously pushing on process and code quality.</li></ul><p></p><p><b><br>
I Want to Work for a Company That</b></p><ul><li>Balances visionary leadership with hands-on technical impact.</li><li>Prioritises impactful work and an innovative culture.</li><li>Treats AI as a tool to be used thoughtfully, not a box to be ticked.</li><li>Builds solutions that create lasting impact in both business and society.</li></ul><p></p><p><b><br>
I'm Looking to Work With</b></p><ul><li>Smart, collaborative, cross-disciplinary teams solving complex business and technical problems.</li><li>Partners and clients who value AI and data-driven transformation.</li><li>Leadership that inspires, trusts, and invests in emerging talent.</li></ul><p></p><p><b><br>
In 3&ndash;5 Years I Want to Be</b></p><ul><li>Recognised for delivering impactful work that matters to clients and the business.</li><li>A recognised mentor who's grown talented engineers and future leaders.</li><li>An influential leader connecting strategic decisions with the smart use of technology and AI.</li></ul><p></p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b><br>

Engineering Manager &ndash; Data &amp; Analytics</b></p>
<p>
As Engineering Manager for our Data &amp; Analytics team, you will lead a team of 4-5 engineers while staying meaningfully hands-on as a technical player-coach. This is not a traditional management role. You are someone with a strong and senior data engineering background who genuinely wants to step into management. You will own the team's delivery, drive stakeholder alignment, and bring the technical depth needed to develop your team and keep us on the right track.</p>
<p>
You will work closely with the Director of Engineering and product stakeholders, on sequencing, prioritization, and roadmap negotiation &mdash; with enough technical grounding to make sound decisions and mentor engineers day to day.</p>
<p><b>
Our environment</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Data operates on two fronts: maintaining and evolving a self-service data platform, and delivering as a product team</li>
<li>While the overall architecture direction is established for the near term, you'll shape the details and influence the technical direction as the roadmap extends into 2027 and beyond.</li>
<li>You are the voice on data. Driving delivery and managing the interfaces with the broader staff engineering community available to support on high-level architectural input.</li>
<li>Data governance for AI agents is an emerging and fast-growing priority &mdash; a technically exciting area we're starting to build into</li>
</ul>
<p><b>What you'll be doing</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Lead and develop a team of 4-5 engineers: coaching, unblocking delivery, and building a product-minded data engineering culture</li>
<li>Own the team's roadmap sequencing. Negotiating priorities with product stakeholders, pushing back where needed, and finding constructive compromises</li>
<li>Mediate between platform and product demands: the team operates across data platform and product delivery simultaneously, and you will balance both</li>
<li>Bring hands-on experience in Data streaming to guide the team through an active transition</li>
<li>Raise the bar on data modeling across the team</li>
<li>Drive the cultural and technical shift toward distributed data ownership, helping product teams progressively own their own data</li>
<li>With your extensive Data Engineering experience you will collaborate with the broader staff engineering community on cross-cutting architectural decisions where needed</li>
<li>Build the foundations for AI data governance &mdash; as agentic analytics becomes customer-facing, you will need to think through guardrails, access control, and safety for AI agents interacting with data</li>
</ul>
<p><b>What you need to be successful</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Proven experience at Staff Engineer level (or equivalent) in a data engineering context. You have been deep in the technical work and now want to lead people</li>
<li>A genuine player-coach mindset</li>
<li>Strong stakeholder management skills. You thrive in negotiation, can push back confidently, and know how to reach workable compromises with product teams</li>
<li>Solid data modeling skills and the credibility to make it a team-wide standard</li>
<li>Experience managing or developing engineers. Coaching technical fundamentals and growing product thinking</li>
<li>Strong communication skills and the ability to drive a cultural shift toward distributed, self-service data ownership</li>
<li>Comfort operating across both platform and product delivery contexts</li>
