Senior Software Engineer (Cloud Reliability)

• We’re entering our next phase of 10x growth; more customers, larger datasets, and far higher expectations for reliability
• You’ll join a small, fast-moving Cloud Platform team that operates large-scale, multi-cloud, distributed database systems in production
• This is a high-ownership role for engineers who want to move fast, build automation instead of toil, and take real responsibility for production stability
• Own the reliability, availability, and production stability of Zilliz Cloud as we scale through the next stage of growth
• Debug complex production issues across Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, networking, storage, and distributed database systems
• Build automation and diagnostic tooling; log analysis, alert correlation, incident investigation, runbook automation, and remediation workflows so problems get solved once, not repeatedly
• Turn recurring incidents into reusable tools, automation, documentation, and product improvements
• Improve observability across latency, availability, throughput, and resource efficiency
• Partner with database and infrastructure engineers to make Zilliz Cloud more reliable, scalable, and automated
