  • Ability to troubleshoot complex production issues
  • Teamwork-oriented approach and strong communication skills

It would be an added bonus if you had:

  • Experience building or contributing to observability platforms, telemetry systems, or related open-source projects such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics, Mimir, Tempo, or similar technologies
  • Experience using ClickHouse in production, Applicants must be authorized to work in the country in which they apply and will be required to provide proof of employment eligibility as a condition of hire.
