Job Description
VP of Engineering leading and growing engineering organization at open-source vector search platform for AI applications. Partnering with leadership to shape technical direction and build an engineering culture.
Responsibilities:
- 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
- Strong background in distributed systems
- Experience running large-scale infrastructure in AWS/GCP/Azure
- Deep knowledge of observability, reliability engineering, and automation
- Strong understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code
Benefits:
- Shape the future of AI infrastructure
- Lead cloud strategy at a fast-growing open-source company
- Work with a globally distributed, high-talent engineering team
- Competitive compensation + equity
- Remote-first culture
