About the Team
This role is part of Cognizant IOA (Intelligent Operations and Automation) and, more specifically, a product team with its own origin story.
We began as Matterway, a German startup building automation software from scratch. After being acquired by Cognizant, we retained our team, culture, pace, and way of working. We move like a startup, think like a startup, and now do so with the backing of a global company.
We combine human expertise with intelligent automation, ML operations, and digital experience solutions to help technology and digital‑native companies build smarter, more adaptive operating models.
What’s the Opportunity?
We’re looking for Senior Product Engineers to join our growing team. Today, we are a close‑knit group of four engineers from different parts of the world. We are now doubling in size, and the people we hire will help shape the future of the team.
We are building a platform to support the agentification of operations. You’ll work across a suite of products, including:
- A cloud platform for process optimization
- AI coding agents
- Specialized AI agents
This is genuinely frontier work. We don’t follow AI trends—we implement them. When new models are released, we prototype with them within days.

- Evaluate and implement proofs of concept using the latest AI tools and models
How You’ll Know You’re Successful

- You maintain top‑notch software quality in design, implementation, and documentation
- You proactively surface new models, techniques, or tools before they reach the mainstream

- Experience with Puppeteer or Playwright
- Familiarity with AI‑coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode)
Why Join Us?
