About the Team
The ClickPipes - Database Integrations team builds the platform that enables real-time data replication from databases into ClickHouse at petabyte scale.
As a member of this team, you will be solving complex database-related challenges and distributed systems problems, such as understanding database internals to optimize snapshotting strategy, handling schema evolution during live replication, managing data type compatibility across systems, maintaining low end-to-end latency under unpredictable loads, and leveraging durable execution frameworks to ensure data consistency over unreliable networks. We work in the open — our database integrations are built on PeerDB , an open-source CDC platform we actively maintain and contribute to.

Design integration solutions to enable users to fully harness ClickHouse's performance and throughput.
Own end-to-end reliability
Debug complex issues in production leveraging runtime diagnostics (e.g. pprof, parca) and observability tools (e.g. metrics, logging, tracing).
Build and improve infrastructure and tools to increase system reliability, reduce incident response time, and simplify/automate operations.
Write clear documentation, both publicly and internally.
Participate in on-call rotation.
Drive product innovation
Work directly with customers to understand integration requirements and discover gaps in existing product.
