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 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
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
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
