Description
We're launching a strategic Postgres initiative to extend our developer-first cloud platform, allowing teams to easily integrate Postgres with ClickHouse and power end-to-end data workflows.
You will work across various areas, including control plane services, automation, operational tooling, and developer experience, as a flexible, full-stack systems engineer.
Responsibilities
- Design and build backend services to 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.
- Simplify cluster provisioning, scaling, and lifecycle management through automation and tooling.
- 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 team's reliability and velocity.
- Operate with autonomy, identifying opportunities, driving execution, and delivering meaningful impact.
Requirements
- 6+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with experience building or operating database or cloud platform systems.
- Deep understanding of Postgres, including configuration, extensions, operations, and performance tuning.
- Strong programming experience in one or several of Ruby, Go, Rust, C, or Python.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, APIs, and automation tools (Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD).
- Understanding of distributed systems, data replication, and service orchestration patterns.
