Senior Software Engineer - Cloud Partner Integrations

Overview

Senior Software Engineer on the Cloud Partner Integrations team, bringing ClickHouse Cloud into the cloud data platforms, BI tools and developer platforms that customers already use. One of the first backend engineers, helping set the technical defaults for the team.

What you'll do

• Own an integration end to end: design, code, and the production system that runs after launch.
• Own the architecture: auth and identity flows, multi-tenancy, data movement and where data is allowed to live, performance, and production behavior.
• Run what you build: own the infrastructure, CI, deployment, observability and on-call.
• Work on top of external platforms you cannot change, and be clear about which risks are yours to manage and which are not.
• Partner closely with internal teams whose services you depend on: iterate on product requirements, agree on interfaces and protocols, and find ways to keep moving.

What you'll need

• 8+ years building software, with a good chunk on data-heavy or integration-flavored systems.
• Proficiency in TypeScript or Go, or comfort contributing to each (preferred).
• Solid backend and systems instincts: deployment topology, multi-tenancy, and data movement.
• Experience with modern auth protocols, service principals, and identity federation across a trust boundary.
• Experience building on someone else's platform, including incomplete docs and unintended breaking changes.
• Comfort in ambiguity: ship before the spec is finished, make sensible calls, and flag hard-to-undo decisions.
• Good at working with other engineers across teams you do not own.
• Mainly a backend engineer, comfortable enough to touch a modern React app.
• Use AI tools well and honestly, and be clear about where you did and did not use them.
• Write well; coordination happens async through chats, design docs and RFCs.

Nice to have

• Close familiarity with a major cloud data or analytics platform ecosystem.
• Real depth in auth and identity federation, or experience building to a partner's security review, marketplace requirements or certification requirements.
• Hands-on experience designing multi-tenant SaaS platforms, or the isolation and deployment topology behind them.
• Working knowledge of ClickHouse, or another columnar / OLAP engine.

Details

• Location: Canada.
• ClickHouse is globally distributed and remote-friendly, operating in over 25 countries.
