Senior AI Agentic Engineer - Observability & Automation

Teradata Corporation (SE); Jefferson City (MO); On-site; USD 217,000 - 326,000; Full time

Job summary

Teradata seeks a Senior Software Engineer to design and build AI-native agentic workflows for the AI Platform. You will architect AI-driven systems that reason, analyze, and act across telemetry, applications, and workflows to boost observability and engineering productivity.

You will lead integration of LLMs into production with guardrails, advance CI/CD automation, and collaborate across engineering, platform, and cloud teams to raise autonomous operations maturity.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering with deep exposure to AI/ML systems in production environments.
• Proven 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 applying 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.
• 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.
