About the role

Senior Software Engineer at ClickHouse developing Cloud Partner Integrations. Responsible for end-to-end ownership, architecture, and collaboration on backend systems.

Responsibilities

You'll own an integration end to end: the design, the code, and the production system that keeps running after launch. You're setting the technical defaults a growing team will inherit, so the early decisions matter.
Day to day, that looks like:
Owning the architecture: auth and identity flows, multi-tenancy, how data moves and where it's allowed to live, performance, and what happens in production
Running what you build. You'll be on-call for your own work from early on, before there's a dedicated platform to lean on, which means owning the infrastructure, CI, deployment, and observability behind it
Working on top of external platforms you can't change, and being straight about which risks are yours to manage and which aren't
Partnering closely with the internal teams whose services you depend on: asking clearly, agreeing on interfaces, and finding ways to keep moving instead of waiting around to be unblocked
We'd also expect you to have opinions about where this should go, and to write them down. A lot of what shapes the team's direction starts as a doc.

5+ years building software, with a good chunk of it on data-heavy or integration-flavored systems
Solid backend and systems instincts. You can reason about deployment topology, multi-tenancy, and data movement, and you're comfortable owning architectural tradeoffs you'll have to live with later
You've worked with modern auth protocols, service principals, and identity federation, and you know how to get it right across a trust boundary
You've built on someone else's platform and know what that's actually like: incomplete docs, unintended breaking changes, etc.
You're comfortable in ambiguity. You can ship before the spec is finished, make sensible calls under uncertainty, and flag the decisions that'll be hard to undo instead of quietly baking them in.
You're good with other engineers. Much of the work runs through teams you don't own, and you earn their trust by how you think, not just what you commit.
You're mainly a backend engineer, but you're comfortable enough in JavaScript / TypeScript to jump in when it helps
You use AI tools well and honestly. Reach for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or whatever helps, and be clear about where you did and didn't
You write well. Most of how we coordinate happens in design docs, PRs, and RFCs.
