Our Team

The Core Technology Group (CTG) is the innovation hub within Informatica that delivers an extensible and scalable platform that is the foundation for all other Informatica products. Specifically, our team focuses on a high-performance Data Engine that can scale on Hadoop, Spark, Cloud and multi-processor environments. The engine can handle batch, request/response and real-time streaming workloads to deliver data for applications. Thousands of customers rely on our service for moving billions of records every day.

Your Opportunity

The Data Engine has been a key constituent of Informatica’s platform and serves multiple products such as Data Services, Data Quality and Profiling. Informatica products rely on the Data Engine to fulfill the vision of a Virtual Data Machine which can execute data integration jobs either natively or across execution environments such as relational databases, Hadoop or cloud.

You will be a key contributor to fulfilling this vision by working on all tiers of the product from low-level Spark runtime to UI-driven tooling to enable our customers to develop data pipelines that seamlessly run data transformation without specialized coding. This data could be enterprise and partner data from hosted Cloud services and on-premise deployments or arbitrary data from social web sites and media.
