Senior Software Engineer, ClickHouse

• 5+ years of software development experience focusing on building and delivering high-quality, data-intensive solutions
• Strong proficiency in Rust and its ecosystem, including advanced knowledge of ownership semantics, async programming, zero-cost abstractions, and performance optimization techniques
• Experience with Rust's async runtime, concurrent programming patterns, and building high-throughput applications using channels, futures, and async streams
• Strong understanding of database concepts: SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and familiarity with OLAP/analytical databases
• Experience with Rust profiling and performance analysis tools, WebAssembly
• Experience integrating with data processing frameworks and building connectors that enable seamless data pipeline workflows
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills to collaborate effectively within the team and across engineering functions
• Passion for open-source development: actively engaging with the OSS community, advocating for users, and influencing the evolution of the core system through your contributions

Desirable

• The Integrations team is the bridge between ClickHouse and the entire data ecosystem
• We build and maintain the connections that make ClickHouse accessible to millions of developers and data practitioners worldwide
• Our work spans from low-level database drivers to high-level data visualization plugins, ensuring that ClickHouse seamlessly integrates with the tools our users already know and love
• We're responsible for the official language clients (Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, Rust, C++), major data connectors (Kafka, dbt, Spark, Fivetran), and integrations with leading visualization platforms (Grafana, Tableau, PowerBI, Metabase)
• As a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Rust integrations, you'll be the architect and maintainer of ClickHouse's Rust ecosystem
• This role sits at the intersection of high-performance database engineering and developer experience, where you'll craft zero-cost abstractions and memory-safe tools that enable Rust developers to harness ClickHouse's incredible speed and scale
• You'll own the full lifecycle of Rust-based integrations—from the core database driver that handles billions of records per second with minimal overhead, to SDKs and connectors that make ClickHouse feel idiomatic in Rust applications
• You'll also drive integration with the rapidly growing Rust data processing ecosystem, including frameworks like Polars, DataFusion, Tokio-based streaming platforms, and emerging analytical libraries
• You'll collaborate closely with the open-source community, internal teams, and enterprise users to ensure our Rust integrations set the standard for performance, reliability, and developer experience
• You'll also work on bridging ClickHouse with modern Rust data processing frameworks, enabling seamless data pipelines that span from ingestion to analysis
