Our values

Impact: Cogniters strive to make an impact in all that they do. We are result-oriented, always asking ourselves.

Ownership: Cogniters embrace a culture of ownership. We go beyond our comfort zones to contribute to the greater good, fostering inclusivity and sharing responsibilities for challenges and success.

Relentless: Cogniters are relentless in their pursuit of innovation. We are determined and deliverable (never ruthless or reckless), facing challenges head-on and viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth.

A typical day as a Cogniter will contain the following tasks & responsibilities:

Architectural Ownership of the Design System: Own the design, development, and maintenance of the core Design System and component library, ensuring code quality, security, and versioning integrity for consumption across the enterprise.

Drive Developer Experience (DX): Act as the key liaison between the Design and Product teams, focusing on developer documentation, tooling, and accessibility standards to maximize the system's ease of use for external application builders.

Implement AI-Native Components: Design and build highly reusable components that are explicitly ready to surface AI interactions, handle context transfer, or integrate advanced data models (e.g., dynamic forms, intelligent modals).

Drives Code Quality and Standards: Apply mastery of TypeScript/React to write clean, high-performance code, and enforce the use of design tokens and the components throughout the lifecycle.

User-Obsessed Design: Maintain an obsession with the user experience, treating the external and internal developers as the primary customers and prioritizing their needs for efficient and intuitive component consumption.

Mentorship and Knowledge Transfer: Proactively mentor junior engineers and peers by establishing best practices for component consumption, architecture, and maintenance across engineering teams.

Required experience:

Expert-Level Frontend: 5+ years of experience in professional software development with deep expertise in the modern JavaScript ecosystem, including React and TypeScript.

Design System: 3+ years of experience with deep, demonstrated expertise in architecting, building, and maintaining multi-application component libraries or design systems.

Platform/Library Specialization: Proven ability to manage the lifecycle, versioning, and distribution of shared component packages across a large organization (e.g., Monorepos, Module Federation).

AI-First Integration Experience: Proven exposure to working with AI in products, including implementing features that surface AI-generated insights or handle data validation and source attribution.

User-Obsessed Design & DX: Demonstrated obsession with developer experience (DX) and delightful user experiences for both industrial users and developers

Architectural Strategy: Proven ability to define and lead technical strategy for complex, ambiguous problems, specifically regarding component interoperability and state management.

Highly desired:

Visualization & 3D/2D: Experience with specialized visualization tools, including dynamic charting components, 2D file viewers, or 3D/data exploration.

Tooling Development: Experience building developer tooling, CLI integration, or component generators to improve platform consumption efficiency.

Data Model Interoperability: Experience making components data-model-aware (e.g., GraphQL, standardized APIs) to ensure seamless integration and state management.
