The Enterprise Field Engineering team leads the technical relationship as a customer scales beyond initial implementations and deployments into broader expansion and full enterprise-wide adoption. Enterprise Field Engineers help to validate technology fit, architect and demonstrate new use cases and support deployment and operationalization as adoption expands. They are also essential in enabling our partner ecosystem, ensuring solution integrity, and elevating the Cognite experience through feedback loops to Product and Customer Enablement.

The Enterprise Field Engineering team works in close partnership with the Account Management team to grow and expand customers to enterprise scale and beyond.

  • You ensure client-integrated solutions are technically feasible, scalable, and aligned with Cognite’s broader product strategy.
  • You provide continuous technical feedback and market insights from client interactions to inform product development and enhance competitive positioning.
