We are looking for exceptional C++ engineers to join our remote-first, global team and continue to scale and grow both our open source and ClickHouse Cloud offerings.
As part of the ClickHouse Core Performance team, you will analyze and optimize the performance of the core ClickHouse database. The team works on many different topics such as query optimization, distributed query optimization, relational operators (e.g. aggregation and joins), caching, and low-level optimizations like SIMD instructions.
You will ensure that the database performance does not deteriorate over time by extending existing and adding new performance tests, based on real-world or synthetic datasets.
You will serve as a resource for the Support Engineering team, helping to debug the most advanced performance issues encountered by our customers.
You will work closely with our other core teams to assess the impact of new features on performance and support colleagues with performance tests and advice.
You will collaborate with our open-source community, resolving issues, reviewing and finishing PRs, answering questions from mail, chats, google groups, external Slack channels, etc.
