You’ll own the full lifecycle of Go-based integrations—from the core database driver that handles billions of records per second, to SDKs and connectors that make ClickHouse feel native in Go applications. This isn’t just about writing code; you’re building the foundation that thousands of Go developers rely on for their most critical data workloads.
Your work will directly impact how companies process massive datasets, from real-time analytics platforms ingesting millions of events per second to observability systems monitoring global infrastructure. You’ll collaborate closely with the open-source community, internal teams, and enterprise users to ensure our Go integrations set the standard for performance, reliability, and developer experience.

- Strong understanding of database concepts: SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and familiarity with OLAP/analytical databases
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills to collaborate effectively within the team and across engineering functions.
- Passion for open-source development: actively engaging with the OSS community, advocating for users, and influencing the evolution of the core system through your contributions.
Bonus points for:
- Prior contributions to open-source projects.
- Familiarity with ClickHouse or similar high-performance data platforms.
- Expertise in building APIs, SDKs, or connectors that enhance developer experience and platform adoption.
- Familiarity with or eagerness to learn Rust and C++ for contributing to ClickHouse’s core engine optimizations and building performance-critical integration components that span multiple language ecosystems.
