San Francisco Hybrid Employment

Qdrant is hiring a Developer Relations Engineer - San Francisco

Responsibilities

  • Building Demos: Develop and maintain open-source "showcase" applications. You’ll build end-to-end RAG pipelines, recommendation engines, and innovative AI search tools that demonstrate Qdrant's power.
  • Applied Innovation: Conduct research into emerging AI patterns (e.g., Long-context RAG, Agentic workflows) to prototype new Qdrant use cases. You will experiment with cutting-edge embedding models and indexing techniques to define the next "killer app" for vector search.
  • Content Creation: Produce educational resources that make complex concepts accessible. This includes writing deep-dive technical blog posts, recording video tutorials, and crafting clear, useful tutorials.
  • Technical Events: Lead Qdrant’s presence at hackathons and workshops, from organizing our own challenges to mentoring developers in the middle of the night as they build their MVPs.
  • Public Speaking: Deliver compelling presentations and live coding sessions at conferences and workshops that inspire developers to rethink what's possible with vector search.
  • Community & Social Engagement: Actively participate in the AI developer community on platforms like Discord, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and GitHub. Be the "first responder" to technical questions and a champion for developer needs internally.
  • Local Leadership: Host and participate in local and regional meetups, technical mixers, and industry conferences. You will be the primary contact for the local AI scene.

Requirements

  • Technical Depth: You have a strong coding background in Python, Rust, Typescript, or Go and a genuine fascination with vector search, embeddings, and LLMs.
  • Communication Mastery: You can explain the "how" and the "why" of technical architecture with clarity and enthusiasm, whether in writing or on stage.
  • Local Presence: You are already plugged into (or eager to lead) the local tech community. You thrive in the high-energy environment of the AI engineering scene.
  • Creative Mindset: You don't just follow tutorials; you create them. You enjoy finding creative ways to show off technical features through code and storytelling.
  • Autonomy & Empathy: You are a self-starter who can work independently while maintaining deep empathy for the frustrations and successes of the developers you support.

Benefits

  • A remote-first, international team working on cutting-edge AI infrastructure.
  • A competitive salary with additional perks.
  • Flexible working hours and async-friendly culture.
  • High ownership and real impact.
  • Open-source, engineering-driven culture.
