About the TeamThe ClickPipes - Database Integrations team builds the platform that enables real-time data replication from databases into ClickHouse at petabyte scale.
As a member of this team, you will be solving complex database-related challenges and distributed systems problems, such as understanding database internals to optimize snapshotting strategy, handling schema evolution during live replication, managing data type compatibility across systems, maintaining low end-to-end latency under unpredictable loads, and leveraging durable execution frameworks to ensure data consistency over unreliable networks. We work in the open — our database integrations are built on PeerDB, an open-source CDC platform we actively maintain and contribute to.
See some of our recent work:
- ClickPipes for Postgres now supports failover replication slots
- MongoDB CDC to ClickHouse with Native JSON Support
- Under the Hood: Building MySQL Change Data Capture in ClickPipes

- Design integration solutions to enable users to fully harness ClickHouse's performance and throughput.
Own end-to-end reliability

- Clear communication in writing (design docs, code review) and verbally (technical discussions, customer calls, incident response).
Bonus Points
- Experience with database replication technologies (CDC, logical replication).
