About ClickHouse

Recognized on the 2025 Forbes Cloud 100 list, ClickHouse is one of the most innovative and fast-growing private cloud companies. With over 2,000 customers and ARR that has more than quadrupled over the past year, ClickHouse leads the market in real-time analytics, data warehousing, observability, and AI workloads. ClickHouse’s incredible momentum was confirmed in its recent $350M Series C financing that included new, tier one investors, Khosla Ventures, BOND, IVP, Battery Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners. We’re on a mission to transform how companies use data. Come be a part of our journey!

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.
  • Be part of a company redefining performance, simplicity, and developer experience in data infrastructure.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
