Lead Architect for Agentic Cloud Platform and Autoscale

Teradata; United States; On-site; USD 180,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

Teradata is seeking a senior engineer to lead agentic development across design, implementation, testing, code review, debugging, and operations for the Teradata Cloud Platform. You will build autonomous workflows and ensure production-ready code across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

You will establish guardrails, security controls, observability, and collaboration with product and operations to scale reliability and performance in a complex, distributed environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of software development experience, including large-scale distributed systems or cloud infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience with agentic development: AI coding agents and multi-step agentic workflows.
• Experience designing agentic engineering practices, such as agent context and instructions, tool integration, evaluation, and safety controls.
• Hands-on experience with elastic or autoscaling compute architectures on a major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).
• Strong understanding of data platform concepts: databases or data warehouses, query processing, workload management, and storage and compute separation.
• Experience designing for high availability, performance predictability, security, and multi-tenancy.
• Strong programming skills to guide agentic development.

Responsibilities

• Set the direction for agentic development across design, implementation, testing, code review, debugging, and operations, and lead by example with hands-on agentic work in your own deliverables.
• Build and run agent-driven engineering workflows that take work from specification to production-ready code, and design the context, tooling, and pipelines that make agents effective in a large, complex codebase.
• Define guardrails, evaluation methods, quality gates, and security controls so agent-generated work meets enterprise-grade standards, and measure agents' impact on quality, velocity, and reliability.
• Contribute to agent-driven platform capabilities, such as autonomous operations, tuning, and diagnostics, where product direction calls for them.
• Architect and build elastic compute capabilities that scale with demand across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud while keeping performance predictable.
• Define how elastic and always-on compute work together under common governance, security, and workload management, designing for workload isolation, resource efficiency, and continuous availability during scale events and failures.
• Lead technical design reviews and architectural decisions that balance near-term delivery with long-term platform direction, and coach engineers across the organization.
• Partner with engineering, product, and operations to take features from design to production, and improve observability, automation, and resilience across the platform.
