Qdrant is a company that builds a high‑performance vector database and managed cloud services for similarity search and AI retrieval. It offers an open‑source, Rust‑based vector engine (Qdrant Vector Database) plus managed offerings (Qdrant Cloud, Hybrid Cloud, Private Cloud, Edge, and Enterprise solutions), optimized for real‑time indexing, hybrid dense+sparse search, multivector retrieval, and large‑scale production deployments. Qdrant is positioned for builders of RAG, semantic search, recommendation systems, AI agents, and anomaly detection, and emphasizes developer APIs, enterprise security/compliance (SOC2, HIPAA options), and deployment flexibility (on‑prem, cloud, hybrid, edge).

📋 Description

• Lead and scale a distributed engineering organization across core database infrastructure, cloud platform, and developer experience — owning hiring, culture, and team design. • Partner with the leadership team on product roadmap and architectural decisions, translating company strategy into executable engineering plans. • Drive reliability, performance, and velocity across Qdrant's core engine, Qdrant Cloud, Hybrid Cloud, and emerging products like Cloud Inference and Qdrant Edge. • Establish engineering excellence: code quality standards, incident response, observability, and the operational rhythm needed to run a production database at scale. • Work closely with Product, Developer Relations, and Customer Success to ensure engineering efforts are tightly aligned with the needs of Qdrant's developer community and enterprise customers. • Define and own the engineering hiring plan to meet aggressive growth targets, with a focus on Rust, distributed systems, and ML infrastructure talent. • Champion a culture of rigor, ownership, and craft — the kind of culture that builds a custom storage engine from scratch because the off-the-shelf solution isn't fast enough.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years in engineering leadership, including senior roles in cloud/platform engineering. • Experience building and scaling B2B SaaS platforms. • Proven track record in managing distributed teams. • Deep experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native architectures. • Experience operating high-scale, production-critical infrastructure. • Experience with enterprise security and compliance frameworks.

🏖️ Benefits

• A competitive salary with additional perks. • Flexible working hours and async-friendly culture. • High ownership and real impact. • Open-source, engineering-driven culture. • Choose your own laptop equipment. • For US-based candidates, we also offer a comprehensive benefits package including 401k match, health, dental, and vision insurance, plus flexible PTO policy.
