About the team

Most providers make customers migrate their data to them. Were doing the opposite: bringing ClickHouse Cloud into the environments our customers already trust so their data stays useful right where it lives.

Those environments come in a few shapes. Some are major cloud data platforms that run ClickHouse as a native service so customers get it without leaving the tool they already use. Some are BI and visualization tools that need ClickHouse to show up as a fast first-class data source behind their dashboards. And some are developer and data platforms we connect through marketplaces and identity federation with a couple of clicks to link an account. The goal is the same every time: ClickHouse should feel like a first-class citizen in every environment.

As the founding backend engineer youll set the technical defaults for this team. Youll have end-to-end ownership but youll also work inside the constraints of platforms you dont own: thin documentation unfamiliar deployment topologies and timelines governed by partner approval cycles. A lot of the challenge is engineering across trust boundaries you dont fully control. You wont be doing it alone. Youll work closely with the teams engineering manager and a small founding group that will grow around you but youll be the one setting the technical direction. If that sounds like your kind of challenge lets talk.

What youll do

Youll own an integration end to end: the design the code and the production system that keeps running after launch. Youre setting the technical defaults a growing team will inherit so the early decisions matter.

Day to day that looks like:

• Owning the architecture: auth and identity flows multi-tenancy how data moves and where its allowed to live performance and what happens in production
• Running what you build. Youll be on-call for your own work from early on before theres a dedicated platform to lean on which means owning the infrastructure CI deployment and observability behind it
• Working on top of external platforms you cant change and being straight about which risks are yours to manage and which arent
• Partnering closely with the internal teams whose services you depend on: asking clearly agreeing on interfaces and finding ways to keep moving instead of waiting around to be unblocked

Wed also expect you to have opinions about where this should go and to write them down. A lot of what shapes the teams direction starts as a doc.

About you

You dont need to have experience of every single point but these are the attributes of someone who will perform well in this role:

• 5 years building software with a good chunk of it on data-heavy or integration-flavored systems
• Solid backend and systems instincts. You can reason about deployment topology multi-tenancy and data movement and youre comfortable owning architectural tradeoffs youll have to live with later
• Youve worked with modern auth protocols service principals and identity federation and you know how to get it right across a trust boundary
• Youve built on someone elses platform and know what thats actually like: incomplete docs unintended breaking changes etc.
• Youre comfortable in ambiguity. You can ship before the spec is finished make sensible calls under uncertainty and flag the decisions thatll be hard to undo instead of quietly baking them in.
• Youre good with other engineers. Much of the work runs through teams you dont own and you earn their trust by how you think not just what you commit.
• Youre mainly a backend engineer but youre comfortable enough in JavaScript / TypeScript to jump in when it helps
• You use AI tools well and honestly. Reach for Claude Code Cursor Copilot or whatever helps and be clear about where you did and didnt
• You write well. Most of how we coordinate happens in design docs PRs and RFCs

Nice to have

None of these are required but any of them would be a bonus:

• 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 the isolation and deployment topology behind them
• Working knowledge of ClickHouse or another columnar / OLAP engine
