About Qdrant
What is Qdrant?
Qdrant is an open-source vector search engine, built in Rust, for AI applications. Its adverts describe "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", and say it is "Trusted by global leaders like Canva, HubSpot, Tripadvisor, Bosch, and Deutsche Telekom". The about page traces the company to 2021, when co-founders André Zayarni (CEO) and Andrey Vasnetsov (CTO) worked on a vector similarity search project that became the open-source engine; the first version was published on GitHub. The legal entity is Qdrant Solutions GmbH in Berlin. Qdrant has announced "$50 million in Series B funding, led by AVP", after a $28M Series A led by Spark Capital and a $7.5M seed round led by Unusual Ventures.
Where will I work?
Qdrant is remote-first. Every advert says "As a remote-first company, we believe diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences fuel innovation" and lists "A remote-first, international team working on cutting-edge AI infrastructure", and the recruitment privacy policy begins its tools section with "As a remote company". On 12 November 2026 the Ashby board listed six roles: a Business Development Representative for EMEA (Germany, with France, the Netherlands and Spain as further locations); a Solutions Engineer, a Senior Product Marketing Manager and a Growth Marketing Manager, all Remote - United States; a Senior Developer Relations Engineer in San Francisco; and a Senior Technical Success Manager for Australia or Japan (Remote - Australia). The registered office is Chausseestraße 86 in Berlin.
What is the Qdrant team like?
The about page says "Our team has grown to 100+ experts across 20+ countries". Staff quotes on that page stress ownership and trust, for example "trusting you to do your job without micromanagement and supportive in guiding you through any challenges as a team". The adverts list "High ownership and real impact" and an "Open-source, engineering-driven culture", and the leadership section names the two co-founders alongside a VP of Engineering, a Head of Product, a COO and finance, sales and growth leads. Recruitment runs through Ashby, and the recruitment privacy policy says remote interviews may use an AI-powered note-taking tool integrated into the applicant tracking system.
Work-Life Balance
"Flexible working hours and async-friendly culture." is a standing line in the "Why join us" list of all six live adverts, across sales, marketing, customer success and developer relations, in Germany, the United States and Australia. No company-wide core-hours window or required overlap is published in the adverts. One role carries its own coverage expectations: the Technical Success Manager advert for Australia or Japan includes "First-line technical support in APAC hours" and asks for someone who "can occasionally join early or late calls with teammates in Europe and the US". US-based full-time employees also get a "flexible PTO policy"; no leave allowance is stated for other regions.
