What this job asks for AI summary
A small advanced research team within the Office of the CTO is looking for someone to own the foundational compute infrastructure layer of a next-generation data platform. The work involves provisioning, configuring, and tuning systems across bare metal, virtual machines, containers, and cloud environments, with a focus on scheduling, memory, I/O, and resource efficiency for high-performance analytical workloads. AI-assisted development tools are central to how the team operates and iterates.

Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists no location, but Teradata's flexible work model and the absence of any office requirement suggest this is a remote-eligible role; location is genuinely unspecified.
The compensation range shows three figures (132,900 / 166,100 / 199,300), which appears to be a low/mid/high band structure; min and max of the full range are used.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes and ships infrastructure-as-code and designs runtime systems (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but the heavy OS/kernel/systems-operations framing also has affinity with 15-1244. The code-shipping emphasis ('production-ready infrastructure', IaC authoring, AI-assisted implementation) tips the balance to 15-1252.
All required skills are drawn from the 'What Makes You a Qualified Candidate' section, which functions as the requirements block. Skills under 'What You'll Bring' (Presto/Trino/Spark/DataFusion, big data pipelines, eBPF/kernel tuning, open-source contributions) are listed as preferred extras.
'Containerization' and 'virtualization' are kept as separate skills because they represent distinct technologies used together in this role, not interchangeable alternatives.
No explicit total years of experience requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI-assisted development.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
