What You’ll Do

As an AI Technologist, you will serve as both a thought leader and a hands-on technical expert for our Healthcare, Life Sciences, and Public Sector clients. You will design, develop, and deliver AI/ML demonstrations, prototypes, and proof-of-concepts that showcase the full power of Teradata’s AI/ML capabilities. This role combines strategy with execution - you must be equally comfortable presenting to C-suite executives and writing production-quality code.

Key Responsibilities

Client Engagement & Discovery

• Lead discovery sessions with Healthcare, Life Sciences, and Public Sector clients to understand business objectives, AI/ML use cases, and technical environments.
• Translate complex AI/ML concepts into clear business outcomes for non-technical audiences.
• Rapidly assess technical requirements and data readiness.
• Build trusted advisor relationships through credible thought leadership.
• Work independently or as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

Hands-On Development & Delivery

• Design, prototype, and deliver AI/ML technology demonstrators aligned with client needs.
• Apply advanced analytics and ML techniques across predictive and prescriptive use cases.
• Select, deploy, and fine-tune AI models from Hugging Face and other repositories.
• Design and implement vector databases and retrieval-augmented solutions.
• Develop agentic AI workflows including multi-step reasoning and autonomous behaviors.
• Write clean, documented, production-ready SQL and Python code.
• Use GitHub and DevOps processes for version control and collaboration.

Enablement & Knowledge Sharing

• Create reusable code templates, frameworks, and accelerators.
• Document best practices, architectures, and implementation guides.
• Support pre-sales activities with technical expertise.
• Share learnings and assets across Teradata’s global AI/ML community.
• Demonstrate internal/external thought leadership by developing AI/ML content.

Who You’ll Work With

This is a forward-deployed engineering role, working directly with customers in short sprints to shape requirements and build compelling AI/ML solutions under time pressure, that will require frequent travel to customer sites.
