Job Description:

ClickHouse is launching a strategic Postgres initiative to extend our developer-first cloud platform, so teams can easily integrate Postgres with ClickHouse and power end-to-end data workflows. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team building this platform. You’ll work across a range of areas — from control plane services and automation to operational tooling and developer experience. This is a flexible, full-stack systems role for an engineer who thrives in environments where boundaries are fluid, problems are complex, and impact is tangible.

Job Responsibility:

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 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 Ruby, Go, or Python (or 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
Operate with a founder’s mindset — take initiative, move quickly, and care deeply about outcomes

What we offer:

Flexible work environment - ClickHouse is a globally distributed company and remote-friendly. We currently operate in 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
