Senior Software Engineer - Cloud Partner Integrations

Job description

About the team Most providers make customers migrate their data to them. We're doing the opposite: bringing ClickHouse Cloud into the environments our customers already trust, so their data stays useful right where it lives. Those environments come in a few shapes. Some are major cloud data platforms that run ClickHouse as a native service, so customers get it without leaving the tool they already use. Some are BI and visualization tools that need ClickHouse to show up as a fast, first-class data source behind their dashboards.

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, let's talk. What you'll do You'll own an integration end to end: the design, the code, and the production system that keeps running after launch. You're setting the technical defaults a growing team will inherit, so the early decisions matter. Day to day, that looks like: Owning the architecture: auth and identity flows, multi-tenancy, how data moves and where it's allowed to live, performance, and what happens in production Running what you build. You'll be on-call for your own work from early on, before there's a dedicated platform to lean on, which means owning the infrastructure, CI, deployment, and observability behind it Working on top of external platforms you can't change, and being straight about which risks are yours to manage and which aren't Partnering closely with the internal teams whose services you depend on: asking clearly, agreeing on interfaces, and finding ways to keep moving instead of waiting around to be unblocked We'd also expect you to have opinions about wher…
