Current research areas include cloud native databases, intelligent SQL engine, LLM/Agent infrastructure and LLM/Agent Evaluation Technology. The lab fosters a robust technical environment, allowing collaboration with industry experts to create a highly competitive cloud platform.
About the Job:
• Research, design, and prototype next-generation data systems that support AI applications, including LLMs, AI agents, RAG systems, and multimodal workloads.
• Design scalable architectures for agent memory, semantic retrieval, vector search, knowledge management, and AI data lifecycle management.
• Investigate and evaluate state-of-the-art technologies in vector databases, graph databases, data lake houses, retrieval systems, distributed storage, and cloud-native infrastructure.
• Develop proof-of-concept systems and production-quality components using modern database technologies and distributed systems principles.
• Explore advanced capabilities including:
-Vector search and similarity retrieval
-Agent memory systems
-Knowledge graph integration
-Semantic indexing and retrieval
-Hybrid transactional and analytical processing for AI workloads
-AI-driven query optimization and autonomous database capabilities
• Review and summarize recent research from top conferences such as SIGMOD, VLDB, CIDR, ICDE, OSDI, SOSP, NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR.
• Collaborate with engineers and researchers to translate innovative ideas into product-ready technologies.
• Contribute to invention disclosures, patent applications, technical reports, and publications in leading academic and industrial venues.
The targeted annual total compensation (based on 2,080 hours per year) ranges from $127,000 to $225,000 depending on education, experience, and demonstrated expertise.
Job requirements
About the ideal candidate:
