Senior Software Engineer - Postgres

About this role

About the Role

ClickHouse is launching a strategic Postgres initiative to extend our developer-first cloud platform, so teams can easily integrate Postgres with ClickHouse and power end-to-end data workflows.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team building this platform. You’ll work across a range of areas — from control plane services and automation to operational tooling and developer experience. This is a flexible, full-stack systems role for an engineer who thrives in environments where boundaries are fluid, problems are complex, and impact is tangible.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Design and build backend services that orchestrate and manage database clusters in ClickHouse Cloud.

• Extend our platform control plane — written in Ruby, Go, and TypeScript — to support new Postgres capabilities.

• Contribute to PostgreSQL extensions and data plane agents, written in C, C++ or Rust

• Contribute to automation and tooling that simplify cluster provisioning, scaling, and lifecycle management.

• Collaborate with infrastructure, SRE, and product teams to ensure operational excellence, performance, and reliability.

• Develop APIs and integrations that expose new Postgres functionality to customers and internal systems.

• Improve observability, deployment safety, and debugging workflows for database services.

• Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and on-call rotations, contributing to the overall reliability and velocity of the team.

• Operate with autonomy — identifying opportunities, driving execution, and delivering meaningful impact.

ABOUT YOU

• Experience: 6+ years in software engineering, ideally with experience building or operating database or cloud platform systems.

• Postgres Expertise: Deep understanding of Postgres — configuration, extensions, operations, and performance tuning.
