Description

ClickHouse is hiring a Principal Engineer to lead advanced systems features across storage, replication, query execution, and performance optimization, while extending PostgreSQL internals and building extensions for cloud-native infrastructure. The role requires significant autonomy, technical leadership, mentorship of senior engineers, and end-to-end ownership of large-scale systems. Candidates should have 10+ years of systems software experience in C/C++ or Rust, deep PostgreSQL or database internals knowledge, and strong concurrency, operating-system, and performance-engineering expertise. The position is remote-friendly and includes healthcare contributions, equity, flexible time off, and a home-office setup.
