Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Qdrant Vollzeit

Qdrant is a cutting-edge vector database company on a mission to revolutionize how organizations manage and query unstructured data. 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 engineers to push the boundaries of database infrastructure.

As a Senior Engineering Manager in Cloud Engineering, you will focus on delivery enablement, team effectiveness, and engineering operations, ensuring teams can execute predictably as the organisation grows in size and complexity. This is a hands-on leadership role, working closely with Tech Leads and engineers to remove friction, improve execution, and strengthen engineering culture.

This role is not about adding layers of management, it's about making the system work.

Tasks
  • Own delivery execution and predictability for one or more Cloud Engineering teams
  • Support Tech Leads with prioritisation, planning, and architectural alignment
  • Drive engineering operations such as planning rituals, onboarding, and execution follow-up
  • Own and use engineering metrics (flow efficiency, cycle time, WIP, DORA) to guide decisions
  • Reduce delivery friction by addressing dependencies, bottlenecks, and operational noise
  • Support incident operations, follow-ups, and continuous improvement
  • Mentor engineers and Tech Leads, fostering ownership, autonomy, and accountability
  • Strengthen team culture, communication, and collaboration during a phase of growth
  • Act as a bridge between Engineering, Product, Customer Support, and other stakeholders
Requirements

Must have

  • 6+ years of experience in software engineering, with 2+ years in an engineering management role
  • Strong understanding of modern software delivery and cloud-native systems
  • Proven experience improving delivery predictability and team execution
  • Ability to work effectively with senior engineers and Tech Leads
  • Experience using metrics to guide delivery and process improvements
  • Strong communication skills and a pragmatic, execution-oriented mindset

Nice to have

  • Experience managing platform, infrastructure, or cloud engineering teams
  • Familiarity with incident management and operational workflows
  • Background in SaaS, developer tooling, or systems-level products
  • Experience in fast-growing or post-Series A/B environments
Benefits
  • Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
  • Fully remote setup with flexible working hours
  • High-impact role with direct influence on delivery and team effectiveness
  • Opportunity to shape engineering practices during a critical growth phase
  • Close collaboration with senior technical leadership

If you enjoy enabling teams to deliver, improving systems through clarity and structure, and leading engineers through growth and complexity, we'd love to hear from you.
