About the team
The ClickPipes - Database Integrations team builds the platform that enables real-time data replication from databases into ClickHouse at petabyte scale. We work in the open — our database integrations are built on PeerDB, an open-source CDC platform we actively maintain and contribute to.
Responsibilities
- 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
- Own end-to-end reliability: debug complex issues in production leveraging runtime diagnostics (pprof, parca) and observability tools
- Build and improve infrastructure and tools to increase system reliability
- Write clear documentation, both publicly and internally
- Participate in on-call rotation
- Work directly with customers to understand integration requirements
- Lead technical discussions and influence product roadmaps
