About the role

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Platform team. This is a high-impact, high-trust role at the center of our Cloud product, combining people leadership, technical direction, product thinking, and operational ownership while maintaining the reliability customers expect. You’ll work hand-in-hand with Product, Infrastructure, Security, Support, and engineering teams across ClickHouse. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years in software engineering and 3+ years managing software engineers with a track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong talent
  • Experience leading a platform or infrastructure team whose customers are other engineering teams — you've driven adoption and cross-org migrations through influence and good tooling rather than mandate
  • Experience leading distributed global teams , fostering an inclusive and autonomous culture , and creating clarity across time zones
  • Experience building scalable, highly available, and secure cloud-based infrastructure in AWS (EKS, SQS, DocumentDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, Lambdas) with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm) and progressive delivery (Argo Rollouts or similar)
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), including patterns for hosting many independently deployed applications in a shared cluster
  • Familiarity with API platform work: OpenAPI-driven contracts, API gateways, and the shared concerns they centralize — authentication, RBAC, rate limiting, versioning, and deprecation
More about this role

The Control Plane Platform team is building the shared foundation that every product in ClickHouse Cloud is built and shipped on.

The team owns API gateways and API standards, shared platform services, deployment and infrastructure patterns, testing and CI, local developer experience and Control Plane observability.
