We help humans train machines that move.
Kognic builds the annotation platform behind some of the world's most demanding autonomous driving programs. Headquartered in Gothenburg with offices in Japan and China.

“We help humans train machines that move. Few problems matter more, and fewer teams sit this close to solving them. Come build the foundation for how cars will think.”
Daniel Langkilde, CEO and Co-founder




The teams we ship for




















Three reasons people stay.
We solve a hard, important problem with a small team of specialists. The work is concrete, the customers are serious, and the decisions move quickly.
Our work shows up on the road.
We build the ground truth that customers like Qualcomm, BMW, Continental, and Zenseact use to train and validate their next perception and planning systems. The work compounds, and it matters.
We push the frontier, not just along it.
Multi-sensor fusion. Language Grounding for VLMs and VLAs. Chain of Causation. We pick the problems that matter for autonomy and ship the tools to solve them.
Serious work, sustainable pace.
Flexible work, generous parental pay, 30 days of vacation, a wellness grant, and time for life outside the office. We are in this for the long run.
Our values
Five short rules that shape how we hire, how we ship, and how we treat each other. Click any value to dwell on it.
