8d • Remote

About The Position

ClickHouse is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their Cloud Partner Integrations team. This role involves bringing ClickHouse Cloud into customer-trusted environments, acting as a native service within major cloud data platforms, a first-class data source for BI and visualization tools, or connecting through marketplaces and identity federation. The goal is to make ClickHouse feel like a first-class citizen in every environment. As the founding backend engineer, you will set technical defaults, have end-to-end ownership, and work within the constraints of external platforms. You will collaborate closely with the engineering manager and a founding group, setting the technical direction for the team.

Requirements

• 5+ years building software, with a significant portion on data-heavy or integration-flavored systems.
• Solid backend and systems instincts, with the ability to reason about deployment topology, multi-tenancy, and data movement.
• Comfortable owning architectural tradeoffs.
• Experience with modern auth protocols, service principals, and identity federation across trust boundaries.
• Experience building on external platforms with incomplete documentation and potential breaking changes.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, shipping before specifications are finished, and making sensible calls under uncertainty.
• Ability to flag decisions that will be hard to undo.
• Strong collaboration skills with other engineers, earning trust through clear thinking.
• Primarily a backend engineer, but comfortable enough in JavaScript/TypeScript to contribute when needed.
• Proficiency in using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) effectively and honestly, with transparency about their use.
• Strong written communication skills for design docs, PRs, and RFCs.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with a major cloud data or analytics platform ecosystem.
• Real depth in auth and identity federation, or experience shipping through a partner marketplace or certification process.
• Experience designing multi-tenant SaaS platforms, or understanding their isolation and deployment topology.
• Working knowledge of ClickHouse, or another columnar/OLAP engine.

Responsibilities

• Own an integration end to end: design, code, and production system.
• Set the technical defaults for a growing team.
• Own the architecture including auth and identity flows, multi-tenancy, data movement, performance, and production operations.
• Run what you build, including being on-call for your work.
• Own the infrastructure, CI, deployment, and observability behind the integrations.
• Work on top of external platforms that cannot be changed, managing associated risks.
• Partner closely with internal teams whose services are depended upon, agreeing on interfaces and finding ways to keep moving forward.
• Develop design documents, PRs, and RFCs to document technical direction and decisions.

Benefits

• Flexible work environment - ClickHouse is a globally distributed company and remote-friendly.
• Healthcare - Employer contributions towards your healthcare.
• Equity in the company - Every new team member receives stock options.
• Time off - Flexible time off in the US, generous entitlement in other countries.
• A $500 Home office setup if you’re a remote employee.
• Global Gatherings – Opportunities to engage with colleagues at company-wide offsites.
