Our Hiring Models
We offer two approaches depending on whether you need individual contributors or a fully managed team.
True Cost to Hire Qdrant Developers: US vs. LATAM
Location changes your total hiring investment. US full-time hires come with significant overhead beyond base salary. Benefits, payroll taxes, recruiting fees, and administrative costs add up fast.
US Full-Time Hiring: Hidden Costs
- Health insurance: $10K-$15K
- Retirement contributions: $9K-$18K (401k matching)
- Payroll taxes: $13K-$17K (FICA, unemployment)
- PTO: $8.5K-$11K (accrued time off)
- Administrative costs: $5K-$8K (HR, payroll processing)
- Recruitment costs: $15K-$25K (agency fees, time-to-hire)
Total hidden costs: $60K-$94K per developer
Add base compensation and you're looking at $210K-$294K total annual investment per developer.
LATAM Hiring Through Tecla (Per Professional, Annually)
All-inclusive rate: $96K-$120K annually
This covers everything: compensation, benefits, payroll taxes, PTO, HR administration, recruiting, vetting, legal compliance, and performance management. No hidden fees, no agency markup, no administrative burden.
The Real Savings
A senior Qdrant developer in San Francisco runs $210K-$294K per year with benefits and overhead. Tecla delivers the same skill level for $96K-$120K, fully managed.
That's roughly half the cost. For a 3-person team, you're looking at $270K-$522K in annual savings. Same timezone, same language, same work quality.
The 90-day trial means if someone doesn't fit, we replace them at no cost. You skip the recruiter fees, the benefits admin, the HR headaches.
What is a Qdrant Developer?
A Qdrant developer specializes in building vector similarity search systems using Qdrant's high-performance database. They architect search and recommendation systems that power semantic search, content discovery, and AI applications at scale.
Qdrant developers bridge machine learning and backend engineering. They don't just store vectors. They design collection schemas, optimize HNSW parameters, and architect search systems that scale from thousands to billions of vectors without query degradation.
They sit at the intersection of understanding embeddings and distributed systems engineering. Knowledge of similarity metrics, indexing algorithms, and query optimization separates them from backend developers treating vector databases as simple key-value stores.
Companies typically hire Qdrant developers when building semantic search, recommendation engines, duplicate detection systems, or RAG applications. The role fills the gap between ML engineers generating embeddings and platform engineers deploying infrastructure.
Someone who understands both vector search theory and production system constraints.
Business Impact
When you hire a Qdrant developer, your vector search stops being a bottleneck and starts enabling features. Most companies see 60-80% reduction in search latency and 3-5x better recall compared to naive similarity search implementations.
Search Performance: They implement proper HNSW tuning, payload indexing, and query strategies. This produces sub-50ms search times even with billion-vector collections and 40-60% better precision compared to default configurations.
Infrastructure Efficiency: They architect quantization strategies, replication patterns, and resource allocation. Result is 50-70% lower infrastructure costs while maintaining the same search quality and throughput.
Development Velocity: They build reusable search patterns and integration templates. Teams ship new search features in days instead of weeks. 2-3x faster time from concept to production deployment.
System Reliability: They implement monitoring for collection drift, query performance, and resource usage. Systems that catch degradation before users notice and maintain 99.9%+ uptime as data scales.
Your job description either attracts engineers who've built production vector search systems or people who followed a LangChain tutorial once. Be specific enough to filter for actual Chroma experience and real RAG implementation.
What Role You're Actually Filling
State whether you need RAG pipeline development, vector database optimization, or full-stack AI integration. Include what success looks like: "Reduce answer latency to under 200ms for 95th percentile queries" or "Improve retrieval precision from 0.6 to 0.8+ within 90 days."
Give real context about your current state. Are you migrating from Pinecone? Building your first RAG system? Scaling from 100K to 10M embeddings? Candidates who've solved similar problems will self-select. Those who haven't will skip your posting.
Must-Haves vs Nice-to-Haves
List 3-5 must-haves that truly disqualify candidates: "2+ years production experience with vector databases," "Built RAG systems handling 1M+ queries/month," "Optimized embedding pipelines reducing latency by 50%+." Skip generic requirements like "strong Python skills." Anyone applying already has those.
Separate required from preferred so strong candidates don't rule themselves out. "Experience with Chroma specifically" is preferred. "Experience with any production vector database (Chroma, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus)" is required.
Describe your actual stack and workflow instead of buzzwords. "We use FastAPI, deploy on AWS ECS, run async embedding jobs with Celery, and do code review in GitHub. Daily standups at 10am EST, otherwise async communication in Slack" tells candidates exactly what they're walking into.
How to Apply
Tell candidates to send you a specific RAG system they built, the retrieval metrics before/after their optimizations, and the biggest technical challenge they solved. This filters for people who've shipped actual systems versus those who played with notebooks.
Set timeline expectations: "We review applications weekly and schedule technical screens within 5 days. Total process takes 2-3 weeks from application to offer." Reduces candidate anxiety and shows you're organized.
Good interview questions reveal hands-on experience with vector search systems, indexing optimization, and production deployment versus surface-level library usage.
What it reveals: Strong answers discuss collection design, payload structure, HNSW parameter tuning (m, ef_construct), and query optimization strategies.
They mention specific embedding models, dimensionality considerations, and infrastructure choices. Listen for understanding of the recall versus speed trade-off.
Candidates who've actually built this will cite specific parameter values and explain why they chose them.
What it reveals: This shows they understand indexing algorithms, not just API calls. Listen for discussion of graph-based versus brute-force search.
They should explain recall guarantees, memory usage patterns, and when exact search matters versus approximate. Production experience shows in specific use cases where they've chosen one over the other.
What it reveals: Strong candidates walk through initial baseline performance, specific problems (slow queries, poor recall, resource constraints), and solutions implemented.
They cite numbers: "Reduced p95 latency from 400ms to 75ms by tuning HNSW parameters and implementing payload indexing."
Listen for ownership of both search quality and system performance, not just features shipped.
What it reveals: Real production experience means dealing with performance degradation. Listen for specifics about debugging approach under pressure.
How did they identify the issue? What monitoring existed? What was the actual root cause?
Strong answers include the fix implemented, monitoring added, and architectural changes to prevent recurrence.
What it reveals: This tests architectural thinking and constraint problem-solving. Watch for discussions of horizontal scaling, query optimization, caching strategies, and quantization.
Strong candidates mention specific approaches (replica sharding, memory-mapped files, vector compression) and acknowledge cost versus performance trade-offs.
They ask clarifying questions about query patterns and acceptable quality degradation.
What it reveals: Tests practical problem-solving and payload indexing knowledge. Listen for questions about filter selectivity and cardinality.
Proposals should include payload indexing strategies, query reordering, and pre-filtering approaches. Strong candidates balance search quality with pragmatic delivery timelines.
What it reveals: Neither answer is wrong, but reveals their natural orientation. Greenfield builders excel at rapid prototyping and new architecture.
Optimizers thrive at performance tuning and reliability work on established systems. Strong candidates are honest about what energizes them and what feels like a grind.
This prevents hiring someone great who hates the actual work.
