📋 Description

• As a Senior Software Engineer specializing in JVM-based frameworks, you'll serve as a core contributor, owning and maintaining critical parts of ClickHouse's Data engineering ecosystem. • You'll own the full lifecycle of data framework integrations - from the core database driver that handles billions of records per second, to SDKs and connectors that make ClickHouse feel native in JVM-based applications. • Your work will directly impact how companies process massive datasets, from real-time analytics platforms ingesting millions of events per second to observability systems monitoring global infrastructure. • You'll collaborate closely with the open-source community, internal teams, and enterprise users to ensure our JVM integrations set the standard for performance, reliability, and developer experience.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of software development experience focusing on building and delivering high-quality, data-intensive solutions. • Proven experience with the internals of at least one of the following technologies: Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Kafka Connect, or Apache Beam. • Experience developing or extending connectors, sinks, or sources for at least one big data processing framework such as Apache Spark, Flink, Beam, or Kafka Connect. • Strong understanding of database fundamentals: SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and familiarity with OLAP/analytical databases. • A track record of building scalable data integration systems (beyond simple ETL jobs). • Strong proficiency in Java and the JVM ecosystem, including deep knowledge of memory management, garbage collection tuning, and performance profiling. • Solid experience with concurrent programming in Java, including threads, executors, and reactive or asynchronous patterns. • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills to collaborate effectively within the team and across engineering functions. • Understanding of JDBC, network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP), and techniques for optimizing data throughput over the wire. • Passion for open-source development. • Bonus points for: • Prior contributions to open-source projects: actively engaging with the OSS community, advocating for users, and influencing the evolution of the core system through your contributions. • Familiarity with ClickHouse or similar high-performance data platforms. • Working knowledge of Python, especially in data engineering contexts (e.g., Pandas, PySpark, Airflow), and ability to contribute to Python tooling when needed.
