## About the Role

Your background may be in backend engineering, infrastructure, SRE, or systems engineering. 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., * 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.
