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.
See some of our recent work:
- 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: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 review) 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 that cares about the craft of engineering, documentations, and continuous learning.
- Be part of a high-visibility team that delivers meaningful impact to customers in a dynamic, hyper-growth environment.
