About the role

  • Build the core platform: Design and implement backend systems and APIs that power HyperDX, enabling engineers to ingest, query, and analyze observability data at massive scale.
  • Scale deployments and infrastructure: Architect, deploy, and maintain cloud-native systems that ensure reliability, scalability, and performance. You’ll use Kubernetes, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code to make deployments simple and resilient.
  • Ensure maintainability and operational excellence: Define best practices for CI/CD, monitoring, logging, and alerting. Drive automation across testing, scaling, and incident response to keep our platform healthy and developer-friendly.
  • Engineer for scale: Design and operate ingestion and data processing pipelines that remain performant, resilient, and observable—even as we grow to petabyte-level workloads.
  • Engage with the community: Collaborate with open-source contributors and customers, solve their challenges, and incorporate their feedback into our roadmap.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience.
  • Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills (bonus for additional languages).
  • Deep understanding of APIs, event-driven systems, and high-throughput data pipelines.
  • Proficiency in SQL and experience working with analytical databases (ClickHouse experience a plus).
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes, plus Helm for managing production deployments.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and production-grade alerting practices.
  • A passion for building reliable, maintainable, cloud-native systems.
Benefits
  • Flexible work environment - ClickHouse is a globally distributed company and remote-friendly. We currently operate in 20 countries.
  • Healthcare - Employer contributions towards your healthcare.
  • Equity in the company - Every new team member who joins our company receives stock options.
  • Time off - Flexible time off in the US, generous entitlement in other countries.
  • A $500 Home office setup if you’re a remote employee.
  • Global Gatherings – We believe in the power of in-person connection and offer opportunities to engage with colleagues at company-wide offsites.
