Introduction

Let’s create an experience that allows our clients to leverage data to build and scale AI with trust and transparency, to drive digital transformation, deliver personalized customer experiences and help enterprises make more data-infused decisions.
The need for data is universal but how and where to store it can be answered in more ways now than ever. This role helps walk clients through architectural decisions like if they should be building traditional data warehouses, document-oriented data stores, or data lake houses. HDM Specialists then guide clients on whether to use commercial enterprise offerings or leverage open-source DBs like PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Then comes the deployment question of on-prem, cloud, or hybrid. If you enjoy partnering with clients to explore these options and building demos to showcase the benefits of each, then this is the role for you.

At IBM, we provide our clients with the most comprehensive and innovative approach to harnessing the power of data and accelerating its value into enterprise AI workloads. Our software platforms help organizations develop applications once and deploy them anywhere by utilizing Red Hat’s OpenShift foundations. IBM is at the beginning of an exciting transformation that puts Data & AI software at the forefront of the company, and we are eager to work with those who want to accelerate their own personal growth while being a part of that transformation.
