About the Team

The ClickPipes - Database Integrations team builds the platform that enables real-time data replication from databases into ClickHouse at petabyte scale.

As a member of this team, you will be solving complex database-related challenges and distributed systems problems, such as understanding database internals to optimize snapshotting strategy, handling schema evolution during live replication, managing data type compatibility across systems, maintaining low end-to-end latency under unpredictable loads, and leveraging durable execution frameworks to ensure data consistency over unreliable networks. We work in the open — our database integrations are built on PeerDB , an open-source CDC platform we actively maintain and contribute to.

See some of our recent work:

  • ClickPipes for Postgres now supports failover replication slots
  • MongoDB CDC to ClickHouse with Native JSON Support
  • Under the Hood: Building MySQL Change Data Capture in ClickPipes

What You’ll Do:

Build data-intensive systems

  • Design and develop high-throughput integrations with databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB), data lakes (Iceberg, Delta Lake), and data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake).
  • Handle edge cases in real-world production scenarios: unconventional database setups, internals of data types, database upgrades/failovers, large transactions, etc.
  • Design integration solutions to enable users to fully harness ClickHouse's performance and throughput.

Own end-to-end reliability

  • Debug complex issues in production leveraging runtime diagnostics (e.g. pprof, parca) and observability tools (e.g. metrics, logging, tracing).
  • Build and improve infrastructure and tools to increase system reliability, reduce incident response time, and simplify/automate operations.
  • Write clear documentation, both publicly and internally.
  • Participate in on-call rotation.
