**About Us**

Qdrant is a cutting-edge vector database company on a mission to revolutionize how organizations manage and query unstructured data. Our open-source engine and managed cloud solutions power AI-driven search, recommendation, and data discovery at scale. We are a remote-first company, building a global team of passionate engineers to push the boundaries of database infrastructure.

**The Role**

As a **Senior Platform Engineer**, you’ll be a key contributor to the design and operation of our cloud-native infrastructure. You will build and scale a reliable, cost-efficient platform that enables fast iteration and secure delivery of our vector database solutions to customers around the world.

This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure. You’ll write production-grade Go code, manage Kubernetes at scale, and design internal tooling and systems that enable developer autonomy and operational excellence.

## Tasks

*   Design, implement, and operate our cloud-native platform architecture
*   Build and maintain Kubernetes clusters and develop custom Kubernetes operators
*   Write production-grade Go code for platform services and automation tooling
*   Optimize cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure) for performance, cost, and reliability
*   Improve observability across the platform through monitoring, logging, and alerting
*   Automate workflows and integrations across systems and tools
*   Collaborate with engineering, operations, and data teams to understand and support their infrastructure needs
*   Contribute to incident response, root cause analysis, and system hardening
*   Continuously improve performance, developer experience, and reliability at scale

## Requirements

Must Have:

*   5–7+ years of experience in platform engineering, or SRE roles
*   Strong proficiency in **Go** and **Python**, or deep expertise in one and willingness to work with both
*   Deep experience developing **Kubernetes operators**
*   Solid grasp of distributed systems and microservices architecture
*   Hands-on experience with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
*   Understanding of CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and automation best practices
*   Comfort participating in **on-call rotations** and managing production incidents
*   A proactive, ownership-driven mindset and strong communication skills

Nice to Have:

*   Prior work in a SaaS, database, or systems-level product company
*   Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, and service meshes (e.g., Istio, Linkerd)
*   Familiarity with observability standards like OpenTelemetry
*   Contributions to open-source projects

## Benefits

*   Competitive salary and benefits package.
*   Flexible work hours and full remote setup.
*   Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology in a fast-growing industry.
*   Professional development opportunities and career growth.
*   Collaborative and inclusive work environment.
