Job summary

Teradata Corporation (SE) seeks a Senior AI Platform Engineer to design and deploy AI-native agentic workflows across its AI Platform. You will architect intelligent agents that reason, analyze, and act across telemetry, apps, and cloud infrastructure, driving observability and productivity improvements.

The role emphasizes hands-on development, LLM integration with guardrails, and collaboration with engineering teams to embed automation in CI/CD and DevOps.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering with AI/ML production experience.
• Experience building AI agents, LLM-driven systems, or autonomous workflows—not just consuming AI APIs.
• Strong programming expertise in Python (required) and at least one of Java or Go.
• Experience working with distributed systems, telemetry data, and observability architectures.
• Foundational AI skills, including prompt engineering, model evaluation, agent orchestration, reasoning frameworks, and the ability to apply AI to improve engineering and operational outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of AI-native agentic workflows that enhance engineering productivity, observability intelligence, and end-to-end operational excellence across Teradata’s AI Platform.
• This is a Senior Individual Contributor role focused on building and deploying intelligent agents—not just integrating automation tools, but architecting AI-driven systems that reason, analyze, and act across telemetry, applications, and workflows.
• Architect and build AI agents for observability, automated root cause analysis, anomaly detection, and engineering productivity optimization.
• Design agentic workflows that integrate across telemetry pipelines, application stacks, and cloud infrastructure.
• Develop AI-driven tooling to accelerate development velocity, reduce operational toil, and improve MTTR.
• Apply LLMs, reasoning frameworks, and advanced AI patterns to automate complex debugging and system diagnostics.
• Drive AI-native development practices across apps, tooling, and platform engineering.
• Partner across engineering teams to embed intelligent automation into CI/CD, DevOps, and support workflows.
• Apply foundational AI skills to explore and implement ways AI can enhance productivity, innovation, and impact across our workforce.
• Your work will directly shape how Teradata builds, monitors, and operates its AI-powered platform. Success in this role means measurable improvements in engineering efficiency, system reliability, and autonomous operations maturity.
