ClickHouse is the fastest growing database in the OLAP space, and language clients are how the world talks to it. From Go and Python to Rust and Java, our client libraries are the first touch point for every developer who builds on ClickHouse. We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Language Clients team - a group of motivated engineers ready to do their best work. You will build a high-output culture, set a clear technical direction, and expand our reach from client libraries into the broader open source ecosystem.
