About the role

Senior Software Engineer specializing in Python and data ecosystems, building critical integrations for ClickHouse. Work at the intersection of high-performance database engineering and developer experience.

Responsibilities

Own and evolve ClickHouse's Python connector and SDK ecosystem, raising the bar on performance, reliability, and API design
Build and maintain integrations with orchestration platforms (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) and transformation tools (dbt) to enterprise-grade quality standards
Drive the AI/LLM integration strategy: designing connectors and patterns that make ClickHouse a natural fit in RAG architectures, ML feature pipelines, and LLM-powered data applications
Engage actively with the open-source community: triage issues, support contributors, advocate for users, and shape the roadmap based on real-world feedback
Collaborate with Product, Cloud, and other engineering teams to align integration work with broader platform priorities
Bring a practitioner's perspective to roadmap decisions, grounding prioritization in genuine Data Engineer and Data Scientist workflows.

7+ years of software development experience, ideally with hands-on time as a Data Engineer, Data Scientist, or ML Engineer
Deep, proven experience designing, building, and maintaining production-grade Python connectors, SDKs, or integrations for at least one major platform (orchestration, BI, MLOps, or data transformation)
Solid experience with the Python data ecosystem: Pandas, NumPy, Pydantic, and related libraries
Prior contributions to, or deep practical experience with, popular data orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect)
Hands-on experience with AI/ML in data engineering contexts: embedding generation, vector search, feature pipelines, or LLM-powered tooling in production, not just experimentation
Strong understanding of database fundamentals: SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and familiarity with OLAP/analytical databases
Solid experience with concurrent Python: threading, multiprocessing, and async patterns
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; comfortable collaborating across engineering functions and with open-source communities.
