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.

The Team and Your Impact

As our Senior Developer Relations Engineer in San Francisco, you'll lead Qdrant's developer engagement in one of the most active AI communities in the world. In this senior individual contributor role, you'll combine hands-on engineering (about 40% of your time) with public speaking, content, and community building (about 60%).

Your impactwill show up in two places. Externally, you'll turn your Bay Area relationships with engineers, founders, and event organizers into joint projects and workshops with our ecosystem partners, while your talks at premier conferences and your technical content reach hundreds of thousands of developers worldwide. Inside Qdrant, you'll bring what you hear from developers directly to our core engineering team to shape the roadmap, and you'll raise the bar for the DevRel team by starting new initiatives and mentoring others.

What You Will Own

• Demos and applied research. Build and maintain open-source demo applications, such as end-to-end retrieval pipelines, recommendation engines, and AI search tools. Prototype new Qdrant use cases by experimenting with emerging patterns like neural sparse encoders, agentic workflows, and AI memory.
• Technical content. Write in-depth technical articles, record video tutorials, and create practical guides that make complex concepts easy to follow.
• Talks, events, and Bay Area partnerships. Give talks and live coding sessions at conferences, and lead Qdrant's presence at hackathons and workshops. Work with our partnerships team to turn local relationships into joint workshops, demos, and speaking opportunities.
• Developer community. Answer technical questions on Discord, X, LinkedIn, and Reddit, and bring what developers need back to our product and engineering teams.

Who You Are

• Senior DevRel experience. You have 5+ years in software engineering, Developer Relations, or technical marketing, including at least 3 in Developer Relations. You've independently delivered technical talks, workshops, and community programs, and you can share examples of working applications and collaborations you started.
• Technical depth and clear communication. You have strong software engineering skills in Python, Rust, TypeScript, or Go. You can build and debug applications that use vector search, embeddings, and large language models, and explain the "how" and "why" behind them, whether in writing or on stage.
• Ownership of outcomes. You've owned a DevRel program or initiative end to end: you set the goals, chose what to build or say, and measured whether it worked, for
