Our Team
The Core Technology Group (CTG) is the innovation hub within Informatica that is responsible for delivering an extensible, reliable and scalable platform that provides the solid foundation for all other Informatica products. Specifically our team focusses on building a high performance and scalable Data Engine that can scale on Hadoop, Spark, Cloud and multi-processor environments. The engine is capable of handling batch, request/response and real-time workloads to deliver data for applications. Here are some of the areas you will be innovating as part of our team:
- Cross compiler to translate representation of a data flow plan from one engine to another such as Hive, Hadoop, and Spark
- Optimizing query plans based on heuristics and rules
- Delivering large data sets to client applications with extremely high throughput
- Enabling the Data Engine to be available across on-premise, cloud, Hadoop, kubernetes and embedded applications
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 is capable of executing data integration jobs either natively or across execution environments such as relational databases, Hadoop or cloud. You will be a key contributor to Informatica’s next generation platform and how it handles the volume, velocity and variety of structured and unstructured data. It could be enterprise and partner data from hosted Cloud services and on-premise deployments or arbitrary data from social web sites and media.
