📋 Description

• 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 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

• Experience: 6+ years in software engineering, ideally with experience building or operating database or cloud platform systems. • Postgres Expertise: Deep understanding of Postgres — configuration, extensions, operations, and performance tuning. • Technical Skills: • Strong programming experience in Ruby, Go, or Python (or 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. • Mindset: Pragmatic, detail-oriented, and comfortable with both greenfield development and operational ownership. • Flexibility: Happy to contribute where needed — from backend APIs and platform automation to Postgres internals and debugging. • Collaboration: Strong communicator who works effectively across teams in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment. • Ownership: You operate with a founder’s mindset — take initiative, move quickly, and care deeply about outcomes.
