WHO YOU ARE - Strong analytical background and comfort working with data, cost models, and financial metrics. - Experience with cloud infrastructure, usage-based products, or FinOps. - Ability to connect technical systems to business outcomes. - Experience building dashboards, forecasts, or profitability models. - Strong SQL skills; Python or similar tooling is a plus. - Clear communication skills and the ability to work across Engineering, Product, Finance, and Sales. - A structured, ownership-driven mindset. NICE TO HAVE - Experience with pricing, monetization, or packaging. - Exposure to enterprise deal support. - Experience in SaaS, AI infrastructure, or high-variance usage environments. - Familiarity with customer profitability segmentation. WHY JOIN US - 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. - Choose your own laptop equipment. For US-based candidates, we also offer a comprehensive benefits package including 401k match, health, dental, and vision insurance, plus flexible PTO policy. Qdrant is an equal-opportunity employer. We believe the best ideas come from diverse teams, and we actively welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If this role excites you but you don't check every single box, we'd still love to hear from you! We don't want to miss out on great people because of a checklist. COME BUILD WITH US!
