Job summary

Cohesity is seeking a senior solutions architect to drive the technical win for our GAIA AI platform, partnering with an AE to design architectures, demos and POCs for enterprise accounts. You will speak to data architecture, RAG, deployment models, and security, delivering reference architectures, workshops, and multi-phase plans across regulated industries.

This field-based role covers North America with regular travel to customer sites and Cohesity HQs; you will translate complex AI and data

Qualifications

7+ years in solutions architecture, pre-sales, or technical consulting.
Hands-on experience designing and deploying generative AI systems — LLMs, embeddings, RAG, vector stores, and orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain/LlamaIndex).
Strong infrastructure background: enterprise storage (NAS/SAN/Object), backup/recovery platforms, and hybrid-cloud architectures.
Familiarity with Kubernetes/OpenShift and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) for deploying AI workloads.
Proficiency in Python and APIs for automation, integration, and ML workflows.
Working knowledge of security, governance, and compliance frameworks and how they intersect with AI and data protection.
Excellent communication skills — able to simplify complex AI + infrastructure concepts for both technical and executive audiences, and to hold a buying committee.
Comfort operating in a co-sell / specialist model — you drive the AI technical motion, the AE owns the commercial relationship, and you make that partnership work.
Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.
Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decision making.
Professional English language proficiency for customer and internal communication.

Responsibilities

Own the technical win in GAIA deals — discovery, solution design, demos, and POCs.
Be the AI SME in the room on data architecture, RAG, deployment models, and where the risk sits.
Design and deliver enterprise-grade AI/GenAI solutions integrated with Cohesity’s data security and management platform.
Architect retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions and build reference architectures, solution accelerators, and demos.
Lead technical workshops, POCs, and pilots that validate AI use cases across regulated industries.
Build executive-quality narratives — solution briefs, architecture diagrams, and business cases.
Work the AI partner ecosystem — NVIDIA, hyperscalers, and OEMs — on joint solutions and reference architectures.
Feed the field back into the roadmap with Product and Engineering.
Support disciplined deal hygiene — accurate technical qualification and POC exit criteria.
