Qdrant is an Open-Source Vector Database: https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant
Qdrant is a fully remote cutting-edge technology company specializing in open-source Vector Search designed for next-generation AI applications. Our platform enables high-performance vector similarity search, allowing businesses to unlock deep insights from unstructured data. By offering both open-source software and managed cloud solutions, we empower developers and enterprises to build scalable, AI-driven search and recommendation systems with ease. Our offering runs on major cloud providers in regions worldwide.
We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer with strong expertise in building robust, scalable systems and a product-oriented mindset. You will join a small, multidisciplinary team focused on delivering end-to-end backend services that power key user-facing features across our platform.
The ideal candidate is experienced in creating resilient and well-structured services, comfortable working in cross-functional environments, and has a passion for building tools that are both technically sound and usable by non-technical stakeholders (e.g., growth, support, or accounting teams).
While experience in payments or billing systems is a strong plus, this is not a requirement. We welcome backend engineers with diverse backgrounds who enjoy solving complex business problems through software.
This is what you can expect when working with us.
Design, build, and maintain backend services powering customer-facing features and operational tooling.
Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product managers to shape APIs and flows that are both technically solid and user-friendly.
Contribute to internal and external integrations (e.g., cloud marketplaces, partner APIs, or payment providers).
Extend monitoring, observability, and alerting across systems to ensure reliability.
Drive implementation of backend logic related to reporting, usage metering, entitlements, or similar operational concerns.
Translate compliance, analytics, or business needs into sustainable backend architecture.
Preferred Tech Stack
Backend: Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask, etc.)
Databases: PostgreSQL and other relational databases
Cloud: Kubernetes, Docker, AWS/GCP/Azure
Frontend (optional): Familiarity with React, Vue, or similar reactive frameworks
Bonus: Go experience, gRPC, or event-driven systems
