About ClickHouse

Recognized on the 2025 Forbes Cloud 100 list, ClickHouse is one of the most innovative and fast-growing private cloud companies. With over 2,000 customers and ARR that has more than quadrupled over the past year, ClickHouse leads the market in real-time analytics, data warehousing, observability, and AI workloads. ClickHouse’s incredible momentum was confirmed in its recent $350M Series C financing that included new, tier one investors, Khosla Ventures, BOND, IVP, Battery Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners. We’re on a mission to transform how companies use data. Come be a part of our journey!

NOTE: This position can be based in any EMEA/UK country where ClickHouse has a hiring presence.

Join us in revolutionizing Observability for Developers!  We’re on a mission to redefine how engineers monitor, debug, and scale their production applications with HyperDX now joining ClickHouse.  HyperDX is an open-source platform that transforms telemetry data into actionable insights. Imagine a world where logs, metrics, traces, and session replays come together seamlessly to pinpoint root causes faster than ever before.  If you've ever been jolted awake at 2 AM, frustrated with Grafana, Datadog, or Elastic for not delivering the answers you need, you’ll resonate with the problem we’re solving. And now, you can help us solve it.

What You’ll Do

  • Build the core platform: Design and implement backend systems and APIs that power HyperDX, enabling engineers to ingest, query, and analyze observability data at massive scale.
  • Scale deployments and infrastructure: Architect, deploy, and maintain cloud-native systems that ensure reliability, scalability, and performance. You’ll use Kubernetes, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code to make deployments simple and resilient.
  • Ensure maintainability and operational excellence: Define best practices for CI/CD, monitoring, logging, and alerting. Drive automation across testing, scaling, and incident response to keep our platform healthy and developer-friendly.
  • Engineer for scale: Design and operate ingestion and data processing pipelines that remain performant, resilient, and observable—even as we grow to petabyte-level workloads.
  • Engage with the community: Collaborate with open-source contributors and customers, solve their challenges, and incorporate their feedback into our roadmap.

Who You Are

  • A backend engineer who thrives on building high-performance, distributed systems.
  • Passionate about reliability, scalability, and creating systems that “just work” in production.
  • Excited by observability, infrastructure, and making deployments effortless for both engineers and operators.
  • A creative problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
  • Passionate about open source, developer tools, and the craft of building reliable systems.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience.
  • Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills (bonus for additional languages).
  • Deep understanding of APIs, event-driven systems, and high-throughput data pipelines.
  • Proficiency in SQL and experience working with analytical databases (ClickHouse experience a plus).
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes, plus Helm for managing production deployments.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and production-grade alerting practices.
  • A passion for building reliable, maintainable, cloud-native systems.

Bonus Points

  • Expertise in distributed systems, ingestion pipelines, and columnar databases.
  • Strong opinions on observability tools and a vision for making them 10x better.
  • Experience scaling multi-tenant SaaS platforms in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Knowledge of service meshes, networking, and advanced Kubernetes features.
  • Background in developer tooling or open-source contributions.
  • Experience building SDKs or integrations in multiple languages.
  • Familiarity with ReactJS and frontend development

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
