Team Overview:

The TDS Data Platform Engineering team is building the next generation of data platforms where data products, AI agents, and self-service analytics work together to help users discover, understand, and consume data more effectively.

Our mission is to provide a scalable, secure, and AI-ready data platform that empowers domain teams to build and own data products while enabling consumers to interact with data through modern experiences such as AI agents, natural language interfaces, and intelligent automation.

As a Graduate Analyst or a 6-month Intern, you will help shape how AI and data platforms converge. You will work on technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs), Agentic AI, Model Context Protocol (MCP), data products, APIs, cloud-native platforms, and analytics solutions. You will collaborate with domain owners, data engineers, application teams, and platform engineers to create innovative solutions that make data easier to discover, understand, and use.

We are a highly collaborative team that values curiosity, experimentation, continuous learning, and delivering business value through simple, scalable, and user-centric solutions.

How you will Contribute:

Help design and build AI-ready data platform capabilities that enable self-service data discovery and usage.

Develop AI agents and MCP-based integrations that allow users to interact with data products using natural language.

Collaborate with domain owners to understand their data products and create intelligent experiences that simplify data consumption.

Build APIs, services, and automation frameworks that expose data and business capabilities to AI agents and applications.

Contribute to the development of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions using enterprise data sources.

Assist in building and maintaining scalable data pipelines and cloud-native data services.

Create proof-of-concepts exploring emerging technologies in AI, data engineering, and developer productivity.

Partner with platform users to understand pain points and improve platform usability and adoption.

Develop tools that help users discover datasets, understand lineage, definitions, ownership, and usage patterns.

Support the implementation of governance, security, and access controls for AI-enabled solutions.

Participate in platform monitoring, troubleshooting, testing, and continuous improvement activities.

Contribute to technical documentation, architecture reviews, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

Apply engineering best practices including clean code, automated testing, CI/CD, and secure software development.

Continuously research emerging AI and data technologies and evaluate their relevance to the platform.
