Principal Product Manager, ClickHouse

• The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience and deep knowledge of the technologies and integration points within the ClickHouse ecosystem
• Deep, hands-on domain expertise in the modern data integration landscape: streaming, orchestration, ETL/ELT, ingestion, or developer-facing platform products. Engineers making the move into product management with meaningful experience in this space are strongly encouraged to apply
• Technical depth to hold peer-level conversations about APIs, schema design, performance trade-offs, and connector architecture. You're comfortable setting up integrations, reading documentation, and debugging connector behavior yourself
• You anticipate where the integration landscape is heading and bring that perspective to engineering and leadership before they ask
• External-facing: you're energized by customer conversations, partner relationships, industry events, and publicly representing the product
• Customer-first instincts: you translate loosely structured partner and customer signals into crisp requirements and a prioritized roadmap
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving environments with high ownership and limited hand-holding
• Strong written and verbal communication, including presenting roadmap strategy and trade-offs to engineering leadership and executives
• You have a background working with open source software or developer-focused products
