About this role
Zilliz is a fast-growing startup developing the industry’s leading vector database for enterprise-grade AI. Founded by the engineers behind Milvus, the world’s most popular open-source vector database, the company builds next-generation database technologies to help organizations quickly create AI applications.
On a mission to democratize AI, Zilliz is committed to simplifying data management for AI applications and making vector databases accessible to every organization.
Position Summary As a Solutions Architect at Zilliz, you'll help AI startups and digital-native enterprises design, validate, and operate production retrieval systems on Zilliz Cloud (fully-managed Milvus).
Working with engineering leaders and hands-on builders, you'll turn product goals into data models, search architectures, benchmarks, and deployment plans across RAG, hybrid and multimodal search, recommender systems, agent memory, and semantic analytics workloads. This is a deeply technical, customer-facing role.
The strongest candidates move comfortably between a whiteboard and a profiler: they understand how schema, vector dimension, filter predicates, and indexes could affect latency, recall, throughput, reliability, and cost, as well as explain those tradeoffs to engineers and business leaders alike.
