About the role

  • Own and evolve ClickHouse's Python connector and SDK ecosystem, raising the bar on performance, reliability, and API design
  • Build and maintain integrations with orchestration platforms (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) and transformation tools (dbt) to enterprise-grade quality standards
  • Drive the AI/LLM integration strategy: designing connectors and patterns that make ClickHouse a natural fit in RAG architectures, ML feature pipelines, and LLM-powered data applications
  • Engage actively with the open-source community: triage issues, support contributors, advocate for users, and shape the roadmap based on real-world feedback
  • Collaborate with Product, Cloud, and other engineering teams to align integration work with broader platform priorities
  • Bring a practitioner's perspective to roadmap decisions, grounding prioritization in genuine Data Engineer and Data Scientist workflows

Requirements

  • 7+ years of software development experience, ideally with hands-on time as a Data Engineer, Data Scientist, or ML Engineer
  • Deep, proven experience designing, building, and maintaining production-grade Python connectors, SDKs, or integrations for at least one major platform (orchestration, BI, MLOps, or data transformation)
  • Solid experience with the Python data ecosystem: Pandas, NumPy, Pydantic, and related libraries
  • Prior contributions to, or deep practical experience with, popular data orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect)
  • Hands-on experience with AI/ML in data engineering contexts: embedding generation, vector search, feature pipelines, or LLM-powered tooling in production, not just experimentation
  • Strong understanding of database fundamentals: SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and familiarity with OLAP/analytical databases
  • Solid experience with concurrent Python: threading, multiprocessing, and async patterns
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; comfortable collaborating across engineering functions and with open-source communities.
