Senior Infrastructure Engineer - Postgres

ClickHouse is expanding its cloud data platform across AWS, GCP, and Azure—adding new capabilities that connect and extend Postgres and ClickHouse for modern data workloads. We’re hiring a Senior SRE / Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own reliability, automation, and operations as these services scale globally.

You’ll be at the center of how we run and evolve our next-generation data platform—building the automation, observability, and operational rigor that ensure a fast, secure, and dependable customer experience. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll write code, shape architecture, and enable the broader engineering team to deliver with confidence and velocity.

What You’ll Do

• Lead reliability and operations for ClickHouse’s Postgres integration — upgrades, patching, maintenance, and scaling.
• Design and implement automation for provisioning, deployments, and service lifecycle management across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
• Develop infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and modern CI/CD tooling to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments.
• Contribute Go-based tooling and services that improve automation, observability, and developer experience.
• Own observability and monitoring, ensuring robust alerting, metrics, and tracing across environments.
• Drive incident management and postmortem practices that strengthen reliability and learning loops.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with platform, networking, and product teams to improve service operability.
• Mentor and enable engineers, helping the team scale effectively as customer adoption grows.

About You

• Experience: 7+ years in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, with a track record of running distributed, production-grade systems.
• Database Operations: Solid understanding of Postgres operations, scaling, and performance tuning.
• Cloud Expertise: Deep hands-on experience across AWS, with exposure to GCP and Azure; comfortable navigating multi-cloud topologies.
• Automation Skills: Proficient with Terraform, Kubernetes, and container-based infrastructure.
• Programming: Strong Go development skills (or willingness to write and own production Go code).
• Observability: Familiar with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, or equivalents.
• Reliability Focus: Deep understanding of SLOs, incident response, and continuous improvement in service reliability.
• Mindset: You operate with a founder’s mentality — hands-on, resourceful, and willing to dive deep to get things done. You take pride in hard work, autonomy, and shipping impactful systems.

Why Join Us

• Build and operate the foundation for ClickHouse’s Postgres integration / extension, spanning multiple CSPs.
• Work on a small, elite team where ownership, reliability, and speed are core values.
• Shape the operational practices and automation that will define how ClickHouse runs databases in the cloud.
• Write production code, influence architecture, and mentor others — all while scaling a high-impact platform from the ground up.
