Role Overview

We’re looking for a dedicated and experienced ClickHouse DBA to take full ownership of our analytical database infrastructure. As more of our product shifts to ClickHouse, we need a specialist who can keep our clusters fast, reliable, and cost-efficient. You’ll partner closely with our backend and infra teams, enabling them to move faster while ensuring the database remains rock solid.

• Comfortable working remotely and asynchronously in a fast-paced environment.
• Proactive about improving infrastructure, automation, and data quality.
