Job Description:

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Database Integrations team—the group that builds and owns the core connectors (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, and more to come). This is a high-impact, high-trust role at the center of our growth story, combining deep technical leadership, customer empathy, and a founder-like mindset. As the Engineering Manager for ClickPipes Database Integrations, you’ll lead a team responsible for designing, building, and scaling the pipelines that connect ClickHouse to the world’s most important data systems.

Job Responsibility:

End-to-end responsibility for Database (such as Postgres, MongoDB) and data warehouse (such as BigQuery, Snowflake) integrations, including CDC, initial snapshots, schema evolution, backfills, and correctness at scale
Recruit, coach, and develop a high-bar team
set crisp expectations and foster a culture of ownership, speed, and continuous improvement
Jump into designs and code for complex flows (e.g., WAL/binlog/oplog handling, LSN/GTID management, idempotency/exactly-once behaviors, backpressure)
Mentor and coach your team — provide regular feedback, create growth opportunities, and support advancement in technical and leadership skills, while fostering a healthy, inclusive environment built on empathy, psychological safety, trust, and a high technical bar
Build the culture of operational excellence: Own SLOs, reliability, on-call quality, and cost-efficiency for k8s-hosted, multi-tenant services across cloud regions
Systematize support, reduce toil, and build self-serve/auto-healing capabilities
Shape the product vision, transform it into the roadmap, sequence bets for business impact, and ship fast with tight feedback loops
Inspire blog posts, guides, and talks
personally present at meetups/conferences to showcase our work and lessons learned
Join key customer calls, turn feedback into roadmap and fixes, and make upgrades/migrations predictable and safe

Requirements:

3+ years managing software engineers with a track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong talent
Experience leading distributed global teams, fostering an inclusive and autonomous culture, and creating clarity across time zones
Proven ability to mentor and coach engineers and emerging leaders, raising the technical and leadership bar
Demonstrated success building highly technical teams that value ownership, speed, and continuous improvement
Comfortable driving execution in ambiguous environments: setting crisp priorities, sequencing bets, and delivering impact without over-process
Strong communicator, able to align stakeholders internally and represent the team externally (conferences, blogs, talks)
10+ years of industry experience building data-intensive or distributed systems
Hands-on: you still enjoy diving into code/designs for complex or critical areas, reviewing code, and guiding via feedback
Deep database replication/CDC expertise and fluency with correctness, ordering, backpressure, and recovery at scale
Strong Go (or willingness to ramp quickly with prior deep systems language experience)
K8s in production and multi-cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) experience
Customer-centric: adept at turning feedback and pain points into product wins
Bias for shipping fast with tight feedback loops, balancing reliability and agility
