  • Software development experience in Go (or experience with any other programming language and willingness to learn Go)
  • You are passionate about developer experience and automation
  • Experience with cloud technologies such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Experience with Kubernetes and specifically with building a Kubernetes operator
  • Experience leading and shipping large scope technical projects in collaboration with multiple experienced engineers

  • You have a high level of responsibility, ownership, and accountability

What the job involves

  • The Developer Productivity team provides internal tools and support for all engineers in the company to make their lives easier. This includes CI/CD, e2e test automation and our internal command line tool to interact with ClickHouse Cloud
  • Our primary focus right now is rollout automation - upgrading thousands of ClickHouse clusters in a controlled and safe way is no easy feat
  • Our team is also the maintainer of our ClickHouse operator - a Kubernetes operator specifically built for our Serverless ClickHouse Cloud requirements
  • This mix of customer-facing and internal projects makes working in the team dynamic and challenging
  • Work deep inside Kubernetes to design and develop new features and improvements for the clickhouse-operator
  • Architect and build robust and scalable automation for rollouts and end-to-end tests
  • Improve and extend our internal command line tool
  • Work closely with other cloud and core database teams to identify areas of improvement - we are our own product managers for internal tooling and developer productivity
  • Educate and support other teams using our internal tools
  • Be part of the on-call rotation and investigate issues in our ClickHouse Cloud production environment

Our take

Database management systems have long been important to the operations of businesses. However, these systems can be painfully slow. ClickHouse solves this problem with its ultra-fast database management system, that powers real-time analytics and apps.

ClickHouse's founding team hail from companies including Yahoo!, Netflix, Salesforce and Google. This has not only lent the company an impressive amount of credibility, but has also allowed it to identify the needs and challenges of enterprises when it comes to their databases. Its system works between 100 and 1,000 times faster than traditional options, and has led to the company being trusted by the likes of eBay, Uber and Spotify.

Valued at $1 billion back in 2021, it is clear that ClickHouse holds a strong position in the market, though it does face competition from rivals such as StarTree and Imply. It has seen substantial funding, the most recent of which is cited to help expand its product and engineering teams. In 2022, the company also launched ClickHouse Cloud - a fully managed, SOC 2 Type 2-compliant cloud-hosted version of its database that is now available in the AWS Marketplace.
