About Qdrant

Qdrant is an open-source vector search engine powering the next generation of AI applications, from semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to AI agents and real-time recommendations.

Trusted by global leaders like Canva, HubSpot, Tripadvisor, Bosch, and Deutsche Telekom, we’re building the retrieval infrastructure layer for modern AI. Recently raising $50M in Series B funding, we are growing rapidly and committed to transforming how AI understands and interacts with data.

As a remote-first company, we believe diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences fuel innovation. Here, you’ll own meaningful work, tackle challenges, and grow alongside passionate individuals dedicated to shaping the future of AI.

What You'll Own

• Provide direct, Slack-first technical support to customers running Qdrant, mostly asynchronous rather than face-to-face.

• Troubleshoot production issues across Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, networking, storage, and the database layer.

• Lead incident investigations and turn recurring problems into documented diagnostics and repeatable fixes, using AI-assisted tooling to speed up triage where it helps.

• Partner with engineering and platform teams to resolve customer issues and feed learnings back into the product.

• Build and maintain internal tools that make support workflows faster and more observable.

• Write and maintain clear documentation for both customers and the internal team.

• Lead by example through strong technical work, initiative, and collaboration with stakeholders across the company.

Nice to Have
