ClickHouse

3d • Remote

About The Position

Join us in revolutionizing Observability for Developers! We’re on a mission to redefine how engineers monitor, debug, and scale their production applications with HyperDX now joining ClickHouse. HyperDX is an open-source platform that transforms telemetry data into actionable insights. Imagine a world where logs, metrics, traces, and session replays come together seamlessly to pinpoint root causes faster than ever before. If you've ever been jolted awake at 2 AM, frustrated with Grafana, Datadog, or Elastic for not delivering the answers you need, you’ll resonate with the problem we’re solving. And now, you can help us solve it.

Requirements

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience.
• Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills (bonus for additional languages).
• Deep understanding of APIs, event-driven systems, and high-throughput data pipelines.
• Proficiency in SQL and experience working with analytical databases (ClickHouse experience a plus).
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes, plus Helm for managing production deployments.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and production-grade alerting practices.
• A passion for building reliable, maintainable, cloud-native systems.

Nice To Haves

• Expertise in distributed systems, ingestion pipelines, and columnar databases.
• Strong opinions on observability tools and a vision for making them 10x better.
• Experience scaling multi-tenant SaaS platforms in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Knowledge of service meshes, networking, and advanced Kubernetes features.
• Background in developer tooling or open-source contributions.
• Experience building SDKs or integrations in multiple languages.
• Familiarity with ReactJS and frontend development.

Responsibilities

• Build the core platform: Design and implement backend systems and APIs that power HyperDX, enabling engineers to ingest, query, and analyze observability data at massive scale.
• Scale deployments and infrastructure: Architect, deploy, and maintain cloud-native systems that ensure reliability, scalability, and performance. You’ll use Kubernetes, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code to make deployments simple and resilient.
• Ensure maintainability and operational excellence: Define best practices for CI/CD, monitoring, logging, and alerting. Drive automation across testing, scaling, and incident response to keep our platform healthy and developer-friendly.
• Engineer for scale: Design and operate ingestion and data processing pipelines that remain performant, resilient, and observable—even as we grow to petabyte-level workloads.
• Engage with the community: Collaborate with open-source contributors and customers, solve their challenges, and incorporate their feedback into our roadmap.
