About the role

  • Senior Software Engineer at ClickHouse focusing on integrating Postgres with cloud solutions. Design and develop backend services to manage database clusters and enhance observability.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build backend services that orchestrate and manage database clusters in ClickHouse Cloud.
  • Extend our platform control plane — written in Ruby, Go, and TypeScript — to support new Postgres capabilities.
  • Contribute to PostgreSQL extensions and data plane agents, written in C, C++ or Rust.
  • Contribute to automation and tooling that simplify cluster provisioning, scaling, and lifecycle management.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure, SRE, and product teams to ensure operational excellence, performance, and reliability.
  • Develop APIs and integrations that expose new Postgres functionality to customers and internal systems.
  • Improve observability, deployment safety, and debugging workflows for database services.
  • Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and on-call rotations, contributing to the overall reliability and velocity of the team.
  • Operate with autonomy — identifying opportunities, driving execution, and delivering meaningful impact.

Requirements

  • 6+ years in software engineering, ideally with experience building or operating database or cloud platform systems.
  • Deep understanding of Postgres — configuration, extensions, operations, and performance tuning.
  • Strong programming experience in one or several of Ruby, Go, Rust, C or Python (and willingness to work across languages).
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, APIs, and automation tools (Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD).
  • Understanding of distributed systems, data replication, and service orchestration patterns.
  • Pragmatic, detail-oriented, and comfortable with both greenfield development and operational ownership.
  • Happy to contribute where needed — from backend APIs and platform automation to Postgres internals and debugging.
  • Strong communicator who works effectively across teams in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
  • You operate with a founder’s mindset — take initiative, move quickly, and care deeply about outcomes.

Benefits

  • Flexible work environment - ClickHouse is a globally distributed company and remote-friendly. We currently operate in over 20 countries.
  • Healthcare - Employer contributions towards your healthcare.
  • Equity in the company - Every new team member who joins our company receives stock options.
  • Time off - Flexible time off in the US, generous entitlement in other countries.
  • A $500 Home office setup if you’re a remote employee.
  • Global Gatherings – We believe in the power of in-person connection and offer opportunities to engage with colleagues at company-wide offsites.
