Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of software engineering experience in production environments
- Exposure to working directly with AI/ML technologies
- Backend development experience in one of Python, Go, or TypeScript, with a focus on API design and service architecture
- You have a high level of ownership and can drive features from concept to production with minimal supervision

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to drive the development of AI/ML-powered features in ClickHouse Cloud

- Feature Development: Design and implement AI-powered features across the full stack, from backend inference services to intuitive frontend interfaces within the ClickHouse Cloud platform
- API Architecture: Create robust, scalable APIs that connect ClickHouse's database capabilities with modern AI/ML inference systems and external/internal AI services
- Ecosystem Integrations: Implement and maintain integrations with the broader AI/ML ecosystem and standards, ensuring that ClickHouse as a technology works seamlessly with popular frameworks and tools
- Technical Integration: Integrate models into production systems with proper monitoring, versioning, observability, and evaluation
- Developer Experience: Design and implement developer tools, SDKs, and documentation that enable users to leverage ClickHouse’s AI/ML capabilities
Our take
Database management systems have long been important to the operations of businesses. However, these systems can be painfully slow. ClickHouse solves this problem with its ultra-fast database management system, that powers real-time analytics and apps.
ClickHouse's founding team hail from companies including Yahoo!, Netflix, Salesforce and Google. This has not only lent the company an impressive amount of credibility, but has also allowed it to identify the needs and challenges of enterprises when it comes to their databases. Its system works between 100 and 1,000 times faster than traditional options, and has led to the company being trusted by the likes of eBay, Uber and Spotify.
It has seen substantial funding and acquired LibreChat, an open-source AI chat platform, allowing it to launch its Agentic Data Stack. This move positions the company at the forefront of agentic analytics, allowing organizations to interact with massive datasets through AI agents, and demonstrates ClickHouses's commitment to shaping the future of real-time, intelligent data analysis.
