Join a small, specialized team building ClickHouse's next frontier — secure, highly scalable database platforms for government and enterprise clients across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments. Our team is looking for exceptional engineers to design, develop, deploy, and secure a ClickHouse Cloud database platform across a variety of regulated and mission-critical environments.
This is an exciting opportunity to architect solutions for high-performance, highly regulated systems, including environments with restricted or no internet connectivity. This role involves architecting secure, resilient, and scalable solutions tailored for sensitive workloads. You will work closely with Security, Dataplane, ClickHouse Core, and Infrastructure teams to ensure compliance with NIST, FedRAMP, Protected B, IRAP, and other security frameworks, while enabling our elastic, limitless scale, high-performance, server-less ClickHouse Cloud capabilities across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem deployments.
What will you do?
Design and develop a highly available, scalable, and secure ClickHouse Cloud platform for regulated and mission-critical environments.
Build innovative deployment automation across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem systems, including disconnected environments when needed.
Work closely with existing Dataplane and Core teams to ensure software parity with existing cloud infrastructure.
Solve unique scaling, reliability, and performance challenges in regulated environments.
Design and deploy ClickHouse Cloud on Kubernetes and containerized environments ensuring high availability, replication, and backup.
Develop and maintain Helm charts, operators, and Kubernetes manifests for database management.
Implement repeatable automation to build, scale, and troubleshoot infrastructure components across diverse deployment models.
Optimize ClickHouse Cloud database performance and storage architecture for on-prem, hybrid, and government cloud deployments.
Integrate secure authentication, encryption, and access control mechanisms.
Develop and maintain technical documentation for system architecture, security, and compliance audits.
Troubleshoot and resolve database performance, security, and operational issues.
Automate deployments and lifecycle management using Terraform, Ansible, or CI/CD pipelines.
