What matters most is your ability to solve ambiguous production problems, make sound engineering tradeoffs, and take ownership from design through operation., * 5+ years of experience building and operating production systems at scale. * Strong proficiency in Go. * Experience building and operating services on Kubernetes. * Experience with infrastructure-as-code and GitOps tooling such as Terraform, Helm, and Argo CD. * Production experience with at least one major cloud provider: AWS, GCP, or Azure. * Hands-on experience with telemetry systems such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, or comparable technologies. Bonus points * Experience with ClickHouse. * Experience with high-throughput ingestion, streaming, queueing, or storage systems. * Experience building multi-tenant cloud services. * Experience optimizing infrastructure for both performance and cost. * Experience with TypeScript. ## Description * Design, build, and operate distributed systems that ingest, process, and store telemetry at very high scale. * Own the reliability, performance, capacity, and cost-efficiency of telemetry pipelines and storage systems. * Participate in the on-call rotation, help resolve production incidents, and drive root-cause fixes through to completion. * Build software and automation that eliminate repetitive operational work and make the platform easier to operate. * Identify architectural bottlenecks and help shape the roadmap for the next stage of scale. * Work closely with product, infrastructure, and service teams across ClickHouse. * Contribute to architecture and design reviews and help raise engineering quality across the team. How You Work * You take ownership and proactively improve the systems around you. * You are comfortable debugging unfamiliar distributed systems in production. * You make pragmatic tradeoffs between reliability, performance, delivery speed, and cost. * You communicate clearly in a remote, async-friendly environment. * You prefer incremental delivery: ship a focused solution, validate it in production, and improve it based on evidence. * You address the underlying cause of operational problems rather than repeatedly treating the symptoms. ## Related Videos - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [Analytics in the Age of Agentic AI: A tour of ClickHouse and Langfuse](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100240-analytics-in-the-age-of-agentic-ai-a-tour-of-clickhouse-and-langfuse) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Software Engineering Social Connection: Yubo’s lean approach to scaling an 80M-user infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1583-software-engineering-social-connection-yubo-s-lean-approach-to-scaling-an-80m-user-infrastructure) - [All your telemetry data from any source in one place](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/57-all-your-telemetry-data-from-any-source-in-one-place) - [Scaling: from 0 to 20 million users](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/676-scaling-from-0-to-20-million-users) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 131 - AI'm not sure about OSS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/472-dev-digest-131-ai-m-not-sure-about-oss) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
