Senior Data Engineer - Infra

• Design and optimize the ClickHouse data layer - including table engines, partition strategies, materialized views, and storage policies - to ensure high performance at billions-of-events scale.
• Own ClickHouse clusters sizing, topology decisions, and capacity planning across both real-time ingestion and T+1 batch workloads, balancing cost, latency, and throughput.
• Drive data reliability and deduplication strategies within ClickHouse, leveraging engine-level features (ReplacingMergeTree, CollapsingMergeTree, etc.) and pipeline-level controls to guarantee data completeness and consistency.
• Establish and continuously improve monitoring, alerting, and observability for the ClickHouse layer - covering replication health, merge performance, query latency, and resource utilization.
• Serve as the internal ClickHouse authority, coaching engineering teams across the organization on query optimization, data modeling best practices, and efficient use of ClickHouse-specific constructs.
• Act as the primary liaison with the ClickHouse vendor team - triaging issues, incorporating product feedback, evaluating new features, and translating vendor guidance into actionable improvements for our deployment.
• Collaborate with downstream consumers (analytics, ML, product) to understand access patterns and continuously refine how data is stored and served - improving query performance, schema design, and data formats for diverse client needs.
• Define and enforce schema versioning and governance standards within the ClickHouse environment, ensuring schema evolution does not compromise pipeline reliability or consumer compatibility.
