About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the full lifecycle of customer issues for ClickHouse strategic accounts on Alibaba Cloud in the China region — from intake and reproduction through to root-cause analysis, resolution, and post-incident follow-up.
Triage, classify, and track incoming cases; identify recurring patterns across customers and feed them back into knowledge base articles, runbooks, and product feedback for our Core, Cloud, and Engineering teams.
Diagnose and resolve issues spanning SQL and query performance, schema and table-engine design, replication and sharding, ingestion pipelines, materialized views, resource utilization, and cluster operations.
Advise customers on ClickHouse best practices, capacity planning, and configuration tuning for workloads running on cloud infrastructure.
Escalate complex or product-level issues through the appropriate channels to our global Core Database and Cloud Engineering teams, while remaining the single point of contact for the customer until resolution.
Partner with the China Engineering Manager and the global Support organization to define SLAs, on-call rotations, and escalation paths suited to the China region.
Contribute to internal tooling, documentation (in both English and Chinese where helpful), and the broader ClickHouse community.

Proven experience in a technical support, DBA, SRE, or database engineering role serving enterprise customers — ideally including on-call and SLA-driven environments.

Previous experience operating ClickHouse or other SQL databases in production, with the ability to write and optimize complex SQL.
Solid Linux fundamentals and comfort debugging production systems: logs, metrics, system calls, network, storage, and performance profiling.

Knowledge of cloud computing platforms such as Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
Excellent written and verbal communication in both Chinese (Mandarin) and English, with the ability to translate complex technical issues for technical and non-technical audiences.
A teamwork mindset, customer empathy, and a sense of adventure and urgency in supporting the most scalable, high-performing databases on the planet.
