What You’ll Do

Working on a team of professionals, you will design, implement, test, deploy, administer, and continually improve software solutions to ensure system reliability and availability, mitigate operational risks, track system health, and improve mean‑time‑to‑discover and mean‑time‑to‑respond for operational issues.

You will help lead chaos engineering efforts in a production‑alike environment, exposing systems to simulations of real‑world turbulence with the objective of identifying and quantifying operational weaknesses and developing remediation strategies.

You will leverage modern AI technologies, including large language models, machine learning, and agentic systems, both to increase the operational efficiency of the team and to measure and improve the reliability, scalability, observability, supportability, and performance of Teradata software.

You will become a subject‑matter expert in the production deployment and upgrade of Teradata software and the full software stack, from the network layer all the way to the observability tooling that it relies on.
