Sr Cloud Software Engineer

Description:

The Developer Productivity team is providing internal tools and support for all engineers in the company to make their lives easier. This includes CI/CD, e2e test automation and our internal command line tool to interact with ClickHouse Cloud. Our main focus right now is rollout automation - upgrading thousands of ClickHouse clusters in a controlled and safe way is no easy feat. We leverage the excellent Temporal.io framework and are extending our existing system system to various other rollout (and general maintenance) related problems. Our team is also the maintainer of our ClickHouse operator - a Kubernetes operator specifically built for the requirements of our Serverless ClickHouse Cloud. This mix of customer-facing and internal projects is what makes working in the team dynamic and challenging. We are looking for highly skilled and experienced software and site reliability engineers to join our team.

What will you do?
 

• Architect and build robust and scalable automation for rollouts and end-to-end tests
• Improve and extend our internal command line tool
• Work closely with other cloud and core database teams to identify areas of improvement - we are our own product managers for internal tooling and developer productivity
• Educate and support other teams using our internal tools
• Work deep inside Kubernetes to design and develop new features and improvements for the clickhouse-operator
• Be part of the on-call rotation and investigate issues in our ClickHouse Cloud production environment
