ClickHouse is looking to solve the problem of inefficient and slow observability for developers by building and scaling the HyperDX platform, which aims to provide a seamless experience for ingesting, querying, and analyzing logs, metrics, traces, and session replays to pinpoint root causes faster.
Requirements
- 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.
- Expertise in distributed systems, ingestion pipelines, and columnar databases.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement backend systems and APIs that power HyperDX, enabling engineers to ingest, query, and analyze observability data at massive scale.
- Architect, deploy, and maintain cloud-native systems that ensure reliability, scalability, and performance.
- 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.
- Design and operate ingestion and data processing pipelines that remain performant, resilient, and observable—even as we grow to petabyte-level workloads.
- Collaborate with open-source contributors and customers, solve their challenges, and incorporate their feedback into our roadmap.
Other
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience.
- 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.
