Senior Software Engineer - Postgres

ClickHouse
$140,000 - $230,000Remote

About The Position

ClickHouse is launching a strategic Postgres initiative to extend our developer-first cloud platform, so teams can easily integrate Postgres with ClickHouse and power end-to-end data workflows. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team building this platform. You’ll work across a range of areas — from control plane services and automation to operational tooling and developer experience. This is a flexible, full-stack systems role for an engineer who thrives in environments where boundaries are fluid, problems are complex, and impact is tangible.

Requirements

  • 6+ years in software engineering, ideally with experience building or operating database or cloud platform systems.
  • Deep understanding of Postgres — configuration, extensions, operations, and performance tuning.
  • Strong programming experience in Ruby, Go, or Python (or willingness to work across languages).
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, APIs, and automation tools (Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD).
  • Understanding of distributed systems, data replication, and service orchestration patterns.
  • Pragmatic, detail-oriented, and comfortable with both greenfield development and operational ownership.
  • Happy to contribute where needed — from backend APIs and platform automation to Postgres internals and debugging.
  • Strong communicator who works effectively across teams in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
  • You operate with a founder’s mindset — take initiative, move quickly, and care deeply about outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build backend services that orchestrate and manage database clusters in ClickHouse Cloud.
  • Extend our platform control plane — written in Ruby, Go, and TypeScript — to support new Postgres capabilities.
  • Contribute to automation and tooling that simplify cluster provisioning, scaling, and lifecycle management.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure, SRE, and product teams to ensure operational excellence, performance, and reliability.
  • Develop APIs and integrations that expose new Postgres functionality to customers and internal systems.
  • Improve observability, deployment safety, and debugging workflows for database services.
  • Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and on-call rotations, contributing to the overall reliability and velocity of the team.
  • Operate with autonomy — identifying opportunities, driving execution, and delivering meaningful impact.

Benefits

  • Employer contributions towards your healthcare.
  • Equity in the company - Every new team member who joins our company receives stock options.
  • Flexible time off in the US, generous entitlement in other countries.
  • A $500 Home office setup if you’re a remote employee.
  • Global Gatherings – We believe in the power of in-person connection and offer opportunities to engage with colleagues at company-wide offsites.
