Along with other testing professionals, you will be testing features in the ClickHouse server, client interfaces, and related services around ClickHouse. We verify SQL, REST, native client APIs, authentication, authorization, RBAC, OAuth integrations, FIPS compatibility, and Linux, filesystem, networking, and process-level interfaces in the stack. You will be writing automated tests, running AI-assisted security scans, helping with scheduled CVE scans, and turning validated findings into reliable regression tests.
