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.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Cloud Operations team you will work at the intersection of platform engineering and reliability. Youll design operate and evolve the cloud-native infrastructure that underpins Qdrant Cloud with a strong focus on scalability stability and reducing operational load through engineering.
This role is for engineers who enjoy building platforms that run reliably in production combining strong software engineering with infrastructure and systems thinking.
Tasks
- Design implement and operate core cloud platform components
- Build and maintain Kubernetes clusters and develop custom Kubernetes operators
- Write production-grade Go and Python code for platform services and automation
- Improve reliability scalability and cost efficiency of cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure)
- Strengthen observability through monitoring logging alerting and metrics
- Automate operational workflows and platform integrations
- Collaborate closely with Platform Regions & Clusters and Features teams
- Participate in incident response root cause analysis and long-term system hardening
- Continuously reduce KTLO and operational overhead through engineering improvements
Requirements
Must have
- 57 years of experience in platform engineering infrastructure or SRE-adjacent roles
- Strong proficiency in Go and Python or deep expertise in one with willingness to work regularly with both
- Solid experience running Kubernetes in production
- Strong understanding of distributed systems and cloud-native architectures
- Hands-on experience with major cloud providers (AWS GCP or Azure)
- Experience with CI/CD infrastructure-as-code and automation practices
- Comfortable participating in on-call rotations and managing production incidents
- Ownership mindset and clear communication skills
Nice to have
- Experience building Kubernetes operators or control-plane components
- Background in SaaS database or systems-level product companies
- Experience with Prometheus Grafana OpenTelemetry or similar tooling
- Familiarity with networking load balancing or service meshes
- Contributions to open-source projects
Benefits
- Competitive salary equity and benefits
- Fully remote setup with flexible working hours
- High-impact role in a core cloud operations team
- Opportunity to work on large-scale Kubernetes and cloud systems
- Clear growth path toward Staff Engineer or Platform Architecture roles
If you enjoy building reliable platforms improving systems through code and operating complex infrastructure at scale wed love to hear from you.
