Engineering Manager – ClickPipes Database Integrations
About ClickHouse & ClickPipes
ClickHouse is the fastest and most resource-efficient open-source database for real-time analytics. With ClickPipes, our managed ingestion platform, we make it seamless for customers to bring data from the systems they rely on directly into ClickHouse.
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Database Integrations team—the group that builds and owns the core connectors (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, and more to come). This is a high-impact, high-trust role at the center of our growth story, combining deep technical leadership, customer empathy, and a founder-like mindset.
As the Engineering Manager for ClickPipes Database Integrations, you’ll lead a team responsible for designing, building, and scaling the pipelines that connect ClickHouse to the world’s most important data systems. You’ll work hand-in-hand with Product to shape roadmaps, make trade-offs with business impact in mind, and complement product vision with strong technical execution.
This role goes beyond engineering leadership. Together with your team, you’ll help shape how ClickHouse shows up externally—whether that’s representing us at conferences, speaking at industry events, or contributing content that reinforces our position as the best place to run real-time data workloads.
What You’ll Do
- End-to-end responsibility for Database (such as Postgres, MongoDB) and data warehouse (such as BigQuery, Snowflake) integrations, including CDC, initial snapshots, schema evolution, backfills, and correctness at scale.
- Recruit, coach, and develop a high-bar team; set crisp expectations and foster a culture of ownership, speed, and continuous improvement.
- Jump into designs and code for complex flows (e.g., WAL/binlog/oplog handling, LSN/GTID management, idempotency/exactly-once behaviors, backpressure).
- Mentor and coach your team — provide regular feedback, create growth opportunities, and support advancement in technical and leadership skills, while fostering a healthy, inclusive environment built on empathy, psychological safety, trust, and a high technical bar.
- Build the culture of operational excellence: Own SLOs, reliability, on-call quality, and cost-efficiency for k8s-hosted, multi-tenant services across cloud regions.
- Systematize support, reduce toil, and build self-serve/auto-healing capabilities.
- Shape the product vision, transform it into the roadmap, sequence bets for business impact, and ship fast with tight feedback loops.
- Inspire blog posts, guides, and talks; personally present at meetups/conferences to showcase our work and lessons learned.
- Join key customer calls, turn feedback into roadmap and fixes, and make upgrades/migrations predictable and safe.
