Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Platform (EMEA)

Overview

Build the shared platform foundations for Qdrant Cloud, including control-plane services, authentication, security, and developer tooling used by other Cloud teams.

What you'll do

• Design, build and operate core control-plane services in Go.
• Work on platform-wide concerns other teams depend on: security, audit, and the authentication and authorization plumbing.
• Build how people and AI agents sign in to and access Qdrant Cloud (API, CLI, MCP), including OAuth flows.
• Improve developer experience and delivery: CI/CD, testing, and safety checks on pull requests, including for AI-written code.
• Strengthen observability of the platform through monitoring, logging, alerting and metrics.
• Reduce operational load through engineering, so the team spends less time firefighting.
• Take part in on-call for platform services, including incident response and root cause analysis.
• Work closely with the Cluster Lifecycle, Operations, and Billing & IAM teams.

What you'll need

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a good part of it on platform, backend or infrastructure.
• Strong proficiency in Go.
• Experience designing and running APIs and backend services in production (gRPC or REST).
• Solid experience running services on Kubernetes in production.
• Good working knowledge of authentication and authorization (OAuth2/OIDC, tokens, API keys) and secure-by-default design.
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP or Azure).
• Experience with CI/CD and automated testing.
• Comfortable participating in on-call rotations and handling production incidents.
• Ownership mindset and clear communication skills.

Nice to have

• Experience building internal platforms or developer tooling used by other engineering teams.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar).
• Background in SaaS, database or systems-level product companies.
• Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry or similar tooling.

Details

• Remote, EMEA.
