About this role
ClickHouse is a fast-growing private cloud company recognized on the 2025 Forbes Cloud 100 list. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their team to build a strategic Postgres initiative, focusing on backend services, automation, and developer experience.
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
