Senior Software Engineer - Clickpipes (CDC/Streaming)

Note: . We are hiring for this role remotely in any country ClickHouse has a hiring presence.

About the Team

The ClickPipes - Database Integrations team builds the platform that enables real-time data replication from databases into ClickHouse at petabyte scale.

As a member of this team, you will be solving complex database-related challenges and distributed systems problems, such as understanding database internals to optimize snapshotting strategy, handling schema evolution during live replication, managing data type compatibility across systems, maintaining low end-to-end latency under unpredictable loads, and leveraging durable execution frameworks to ensure data consistency over unreliable networks. We work in the open — our database integrations are built on PeerDB , an open-source CDC platform we actively maintain and contribute to.
