About The Team
The ClickPipes - Database Integrations team builds the platform that enables real-time data replication from databases into ClickHouse at petabyte scale. You will solve complex database-related challenges and distributed systems problems, such as understanding database internals to optimize snapshotting, handling schema evolution during live replication, managing data type compatibility, maintaining low end-to-end latency under unpredictable loads, and leveraging durable execution frameworks to ensure data consistency over unreliable networks. Our work is open-source;
our database integrations are built on PeerDB, an open-source CDC platform we actively maintain and contribute to.
Recent examples of our work include:
* ClickPipes for Postgres now supports failover replication slots
* MongoDB CDC to ClickHouse with Native JSON Support
* Under the Hood: Building MySQL Change Data Capture in ClickPipes
What You’ll Do
* Build data-intensive systems
* Design and develop high-throughput integrations with databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB), data lakes (Iceberg, Delta Lake), and data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake).
* Handle edge cases in real-world production scenarios: unconventional database setups, internals of data types, database upgrades/failovers, large transactions, etc.
* 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.
* Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams to ensure operational efficiency.
* Lead technical discussions and influence product roadmaps.
About You
* 5+ years of industry experience building data-intensive software solutions.
* Proficient in Go, or experienced in systems programming with willingness to ramp up quickly in Go.
* Cloud-native experience deploying and operating services on at least one major cloud platform (AWS/GCP/Azure).
* Practical experience with Kubernetes.
* Strong problem solver and solid production debugging skills.
* Clear communication in writing (design docs, code reviews) and verbally (technical discussions, customer calls, incident response).
Bonus Points
* Experience with database replication technologies (CDC, logical replication).
* Experience with durable execution frameworks (Temporal).
* Experience with data formats and protocols (Avro, Parquet, Protobuf).
* Experience with modern data processing frameworks (e.G. Kafka, Spark, Flink).
* Experience with maintaining/contributing to open-source software.
Why Join Us
* Work on challenging problems at the intersection of database technologies, distributed systems, and cloud-native architecture.
* Work on a team that builds software in the open (PeerDB) and values engineering craft, documentation, and continuous learning.
* Be part of a high-visibility team delivering meaningful impact in a dynamic, hyper-growth environment.
