Cloud Engineer - AI Platform

Ignite the Future of Language with AI at Teradata!

What You'll Do: Shape the Way the World Understands Data

At Teradata, we're not just managing data; we're unleashing its full potential. Our ClearScape Analytics (TM) platform and pioneering Enterprise Vector Store are empowering the world's largest enterprises to derive unprecedented value from their most complex data. We're rapidly pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Artificial Intelligence, especially in the exciting realm of autonomous and agentic systems

We're building intelligent systems that go far beyond automation - they observe, reason, adapt, and drive complex decision-making across large-scale enterprise environments. As a member of our AI engineering team, you'll play a critical role in designing and deploying advanced AI agents that integrate deeply with business operations, turning data into insight, action, and measurable outcomes.

In this role, you'll architect foundational components for production-grade AI systems - from agent frameworks and LLM pipelines to observability and evaluation layers that ensure reliability, accountability, and performance. You'll be responsible not just for building models, but for making them measurable, debuggable, and trustworthy in real-world, high-stakes deployments.

You'll work alongside a high-caliber team of AI researchers, engineers, and data scientists tackling some of the hardest problems in AI and enterprise software - from scalable multi-agent coordination and fine-tuned LLM applications, to real-time monitoring, drift detection, and closed-loop retraining systems.

If you're passionate about building intelligent systems that are not only powerful but observable, resilient, and production-ready, this role offers the opportunity to shape the future of enterprise AI from the ground up.

Who You'll Work With: Join Forces with the Best

Imagine collaborating daily with some of the brightest minds in the company - individuals who champion diversity, equity, and inclusion as fundamental to our success. You'll be part of a cohesive force, laser-focused on delivering high-quality, critical, and highly visible AI/ML functionality within the Teradata Vantage platform. Your insights will directly shape the future of our intelligent data solutions.

You'll report directly to the inspiring Sr. Manager, Software Engineering, who will champion your growth and empower your contributions.
