Notice

This position is no longer open.

Requisition Number: 205138

External Description:

A Platform Engineer plans, designs, and deploys platform technologies. They define technology choices, deployment options, and migration strategies. Platform Engineers define and design high availability and business continuity architecture. Platform Engineers perform sizing and performance analysis, optimization, capacity planning, configuration, system administration, upgrades, etc.

Platform Engineers may be specialists in a domain such as Cloud Architecture, Teradata Administration, Hadoop Administration, Performance Analysis, or DevOps automation, but also require a broad background in the overall analytic ecosystem which allows them to consider the overall impact of solution choices. Platform Engineers drive adoption of platform technologies such as Teradata, Hadoop, and containerization, across both on-premises and cloud deployments.

Key Areas of Responsibility

  • Perform hardware and software planning and design, installation and configuration, optimization, upgrades, and other task related to platform services like Linux, Hadoop, Docker and Kubernetes, etc.
  • Manage and administrate Teradata database systems, Hadoop Systems, and others.
  • Design, develop, deploy and maintain distributed platform architectures
  • Interface with project stakeholders to define and document system design requirements
  • Document the designed solution
  • Develop and validate the solution design
  • Test the developed solution (smoke test, system integration test, performance test)
  • Deploy solutions in cloud, on-premises, or in hybrid environments
  • Support and maintain the deployed solution
  • Establish and maintain a configuration management solution
  • Establish and maintain Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment pipelines
  • All consultants are expected to build value in themselves. Teradata’s extensive library of both instructor led, and web-based training provides ample opportunity for the consultant to build and maintain marketable skills. Time has been allocated specifically for this task and each consultant is expected to have a ‘Learning Plan’. Progress against the learning plan is part of the annual appraisal.
  • All consultants are expected to build value in their practice through the contribution and reuse of consulting assets. After each assigned project, a consultant is expected to evaluate the project deliverables and to contribute those items that may be useful to other consultants that may be assigned similar projects. When a new project is assigned, the consultant will search the asset repository for assets that may improve or accelerate the project delivery.
