About the Team

The Integrations team is the bridge between ClickHouse and the entire data ecosystem. We build and maintain the connections that make ClickHouse accessible to millions of developers and data practitioners worldwide. Our work spans from low-level database drivers to high-level data visualization plugins, ensuring that ClickHouse seamlessly integrates with the tools our users already know and love.

We're responsible for the official language clients (Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, Rust, C++), major data connectors (Kafka, dbt, Spark, Fivetran), and integrations with leading visualization platforms (Grafana, Tableau, PowerBI, Metabase).

What will you do?

As a Software Engineer specializing in data connectors and transformation frameworks, you'll be the technical owner of ClickHouse's most critical data pipeline integrations. This role sits at the intersection of high-performance database engineering and modern data orchestration, where you'll build the connectors and adapters that enable data teams to seamlessly incorporate ClickHouse into their existing workflows.

You'll own the development and maintenance of our dbt-clickhouse adapter, ensuring data analysts and engineers can leverage dbt's transformation capabilities with ClickHouse's analytical power. You'll also be instrumental in maintaining and enhancing our data ingestion connectors in JVM and golang ecosystems, enabling automated data replication from hundreds of sources into ClickHouse with enterprise-grade reliability and performance.

You're architecting the data infrastructure that enables companies to build real-time analytics platforms and modern data warehouses at scale. You'll collaborate with the commercial partners and broader data community to ensure our integrations represent best practices in the modern data stack.

About you:

  • 5+ years of software development experience with a focus on data engineering, ETL/ELT pipelines, or database integrations
  • Strong Python proficiency with experience in data-focused libraries (Pandas, SQLAlchemy) and familiarity with the Python data ecosystem
  • Hands-on experience with dbt. Ideally including custom adapter development, advanced dbt modeling patterns, or contributions to dbt packages.
  • Experience with modern data stack tools such as Fivetran, Airbyte, or similar ELT platforms.

  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills to collaborate effectively within the team and across engineering functions.
  • Passion for open-source development: actively engaging with the OSS community, advocating for users, and influencing the evolution of the core system through your contributions.

Our customers are frequently confronted with the challenge of analyzing massive volumes of data in real time. Traditional database management systems often struggle to keep pace with the speed and scale required for modern analytics, leading to delays in insights and decision-making. This is precisely why ClickHouse was developed: to provide an open-source, column-oriented OLAP database management system that empowers users to generate analytical reports using SQL queries with lightning speed. We understand that in today's data-driven world, the ability to process and analyze clickstream data, logs, and other event-based information instantaneously is not just a luxury, but a necessity for businesses to remain competitive and responsive. Our users need to perform complex analytical queries on petabytes of data and receive results in sub-second latencies, a feat that can be 100 to 1,000 times faster than conventional systems.

ClickHouse was engineered from the ground up to address these critical needs. Originating from a project at Yandex in 2009 to power their web analytics platform, the core idea was to enable real-time report generation from non-aggregated, constantly updating data. This means our customers can move beyond batch processing and unlock interactive data exploration, dashboards, and real-time monitoring. Whether it's for powering user-facing analytics in applications, conducting in-depth log analysis, building internal data warehouses for business intelligence, or enabling real-time analytics for IoT and financial services, ClickHouse provides a robust and efficient solution. We are committed to making this powerful technology accessible not just to tech-savvy internet giants, but to all enterprises looking to harness the full potential of their data. By offering ClickHouse Cloud, a secure and scalable serverless offering, we further simplify the adoption and management of real-time analytical processing, allowing our customers to focus on deriving valuable insights rather than managing complex infrastructure. Our goal is to ensure that when our customers face the deluge of ever-growing datasets, they have a reliable and extraordinarily fast tool to turn that data into actionable intelligence, driving innovation and operational excellence.
