Why you should consider this position and our company

This is your opportunity to be heard and to make an impact! We are big enough to work with technology used by the world's largest companies and small enough for you to see the exact impact of the work that you're doing. While our group works as a collaborative unit in order to constantly advance learning, you individually will "own" the development of specific functions. You will see direct results of your work within the product and will see how our customers are utilizing that to make important decisions within their business. 

The Teradata culture isn’t just about one kind of person. So many individuals make up who we are, making us that much more unique. It’s what sets apart the dynamic, diverse and collaborative environment that is Teradata. But even as individuals, there’s one thing that we all share —our united goal of making Teradata and our people, the best we can be.  Come join us today!
