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!

ClickHouse is expanding its cloud data platform across AWS, GCP, and Azure—adding new capabilities that connect and extend Postgres and ClickHouse for modern data workloads. We’re hiring a Senior SRE / Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own reliability, automation, and operations as these services scale globally.

You’ll be at the center of how we run and evolve our next-generation data platform—building the automation, observability, and operational rigor that ensure a fast, secure, and dependable customer experience. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll write code, shape architecture, and enable the broader engineering team to deliver with confidence and velocity.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead reliability and operations for ClickHouse’s Postgres integration — upgrades, patching, maintenance, and scaling.
  • Design and implement automation for provisioning, deployments, and service lifecycle management across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
  • Develop infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and modern CI/CD tooling to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments.
  • Contribute Go-based tooling and services that improve automation, observability, and developer experience.
  • Own observability and monitoring, ensuring robust alerting, metrics, and tracing across environments.
  • Drive incident management and postmortem practices that strengthen reliability and learning loops.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with platform, networking, and product teams to improve service operability.
  • Mentor and enable engineers, helping the team scale effectively as customer adoption grows.

About You

  • Experience: 7+ years in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, with a track record of running distributed, production-grade systems.
  • Database Operations: Solid understanding of Postgres operations, scaling, and performance tuning.
  • Cloud Expertise: Deep hands-on experience across AWS, with exposure to GCP and Azure; comfortable navigating multi-cloud topologies.
  • Automation Skills: Proficient with Terraform, Kubernetes, and container-based infrastructure.
  • Programming: Strong Go development skills (or willingness to write and own production Go code).
  • Observability: Familiar with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, or equivalents.
  • Reliability Focus: Deep understanding of SLOs, incident response, and continuous improvement in service reliability.
  • Mindset: You operate with a founder’s mentality — hands-on, resourceful, and willing to dive deep to get things done. You take pride in hard work, autonomy, and shipping impactful systems.

Why Join Us

  • Build and operate the foundation for ClickHouse’s Postgres integration / extension, spanning multiple CSPs.
  • Work on a small, elite team where ownership, reliability, and speed are core values.
  • Shape the operational practices and automation that will define how ClickHouse runs databases in the cloud.
  • Write production code, influence architecture, and mentor others — all while scaling a high-impact platform from the ground up.
  • Be part of a company redefining performance, simplicity, and developer experience in data infrastructure.

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.
