Staff Engineer - AI Platform

** Our Company*
* At Teradata, we believe that people thrive when empowered with better information. Teradata Autonomous Knowledge Platform activates enterprise intelligence by unifying data, knowledge and business context to achieve tangible outcomes. With Teradata, organizations can provide agents with full context for impact when it matters. Our solution lets businesses connect and scale on premises, in the cloud, or through a hybrid approach.

Teradata delivers real business value with AI.

** What You'll Do*
* At Teradata, we're not just managing data; we're unleashing its full potential. Our Teradata AI Studio 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*
* 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 Cloud 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.

** What Makes You a Qualified Candidate*
