Job Description
Senior Software Engineer at ClickHouse contributing to Python and Data Ecosystem integrations. Focusing on robust connectors for real-time analytics and AI-powered data applications.
Responsibilities:
- Own and evolve ClickHouse's Python connector and SDK ecosystem, raising the bar on performance, reliability, and API design
- Build and maintain integrations with orchestration platforms (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) and transformation tools (dbt) to enterprise-grade quality standards
- Drive the AI/LLM integration strategy: designing connectors and patterns that make ClickHouse a natural fit in RAG architectures, ML feature pipelines, and LLM-powered data applications
- Engage actively with the open-source community: triage issues, support contributors, advocate for users, and shape the roadmap based on real-world feedback
- Collaborate with Product, Cloud, and other engineering teams to align integration work with broader platform priorities
- Bring a practitioner's perspective to roadmap decisions, grounding prioritization in genuine Data Engineer and Data Scientist workflows
Requirements:
- 7+ years of software development experience, ideally with hands-on time as a Data Engineer, Data Scientist, or ML Engineer
- Deep, proven experience designing, building, and maintaining production-grade Python connectors, SDKs, or integrations for at least one major platform (orchestration, BI, MLOps, or data transformation)
- Solid experience with the Python data ecosystem: Pandas, NumPy, Pydantic, and related libraries
- Prior contributions to, or deep practical experience with, popular data orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect)
- Hands-on experience with AI/ML in data engineering contexts: embedding generation, vector search, feature pipelines, or LLM-powered tooling in production, not just experimentation
- Strong understanding of database fundamentals: SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and familiarity with OLAP/analytical databases
- Solid experience with concurrent Python: threading, multiprocessing, and async patterns
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; comfortable collaborating across engineering functions and with open-source communities.
Benefits:
- Flexible work environment - ClickHouse is a globally distributed company and remote-friendly. We currently operate in 20 countries.
- Healthcare - Employer contributions towards your healthcare.
- Equity in the company - Every new team member who joins our company receives stock options.
- Time off - Flexible time off in the US, generous entitlement in other countries.
- A $500 Home office setup if you’re a remote employee.
- Global Gatherings – We believe in the power of in-person connection and offer opportunities to engage with colleagues at company-wide offsites.
