We’re on a mission to transform how companies use data. Come be a part of our journey!
NOTE: This position can be based in any EMEA country where ClickHouse has a hiring presence.
Join us in revolutionizing Observability for Developers! We’re on a mission to redefine how engineers monitor, debug, and scale their production applications with HyperDX now joining ClickHouse. HyperDX is an open-source platform that transforms telemetry data into actionable insights. Imagine a world where logs, metrics, traces, and session replays come together seamlessly to pinpoint root causes faster than ever before. If you've ever been jolted awake at 2 AM, frustrated with Grafana, Datadog, or Elastic for not delivering the answers you need, you’ll resonate with the problem we’re solving. And now, you can help us solve it.
What You’ll Do- 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.
- A backend engineer who thrives on building high-performance, distributed systems.
- Passionate about reliability, scalability, and creating systems that “just work” in production.
- Excited by observability, infrastructure, and making deployments effortless for both engineers and operators.
- A creative problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
- Passionate about open source, developer tools, and the craft of building reliable systems.
- 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.
- Expertise in distributed systems, ingestion pipelines, and columnar databases.
- Strong opinions on observability tools and a vision for making them 10x better.
- Experience scaling multi-tenant SaaS platforms in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Knowledge of service meshes, networking, and advanced Kubernetes features.
- Background in developer tooling or open-source contributions.
- Experience building SDKs or integrations in multiple languages.
- Familiarity with ReactJS and frontend development
