Job Description

Forward-Deployed Engineer designing AI solutions and validating data architectures at Hitachi Vantara. Partnering with customers to build prototypes and demonstrate business value across data ecosystems.

Responsibilities:

  • design and prototype data virtualization architectures enabling unified, near real-time access to distributed data sources for validating feasibility, performance, and integration assumptions.
  • build prototype-level API-based extraction, streaming, ETL, and ELT pipelines.
  • integrate distributed query and transformation engines such as Spark, Presto, and SQL-based platforms in POV environments.
  • create reference architectures and working prototypes across AWS, Azure, GCP, private cloud, and on-premises environments.
  • perform workload and performance evaluations for compute, networking, storage, and GPU-accelerated environments.
  • execute proof-of-value engagements using customer and industry datasets.
  • build AI-driven prototypes showcasing RAG, automation, and agentic workflows.
  • demonstrate AI feasibility using hybrid and GPU-accelerated environments.
  • translate prototype outcomes into technical and business value narratives.
  • build lightweight ROI, TCO, and cost comparison models to support POV outcomes.
  • evaluate architectural trade-offs within bounded validation efforts.
  • estimate financial impact of GenAI and agentic AI use cases.
  • translate business requirements into prototype-level architectures.
  • lead discovery sessions, technical workshops, and POV execution.

Requirements:

  • strong experience with data virtualization platforms such as Zetaris, Starburst, Dremio, or equivalent technologies.
  • hands‑on exposure to modern data platforms including Databricks, Snowflake, Teradata, and cloud‑native data warehouses.
  • proficiency with Spark, Presto, SQL, distributed query engines, and performance optimization concepts.
  • experience building prototype‑level ETL/ELT pipelines and integration workflows.
  • knowledge of API‑based data integration patterns.
  • experience working in hybrid, multi‑cloud, and on‑prem environments.
  • familiarity with enterprise infrastructure and accelerated compute platforms from vendors such as Hitachi, Cisco, Supermicro, HPE, Dell, Pure, and NVIDIA.
  • understanding of data governance, security, and access control principles.
  • comfort operating within large‑scale enterprise data ecosystems.

Benefits:

  • flexible arrangements that work for you (role and location dependent)
