> Founding backend engineer building end-to-end cloud partner integrations for ClickHouse. Own architecture, auth/identity, multi-tenancy, and production systems across external platforms with significant ambiguity. 5+ years experience, strong systems instincts, and comfort with auth federation and partner constraints required.

## Job Description

## What you'll do
- Own an integration end to end: design, code, and production system
- Own architecture for auth/identity flows, multi-tenancy, data movement, performance, and production concerns
- Run what you build, including being on-call, owning infrastructure, CI, deployment, and observability
- Work on top of external platforms with constraints like thin documentation and partner approval cycles
- Partner closely with internal teams on interfaces and unblocking progress
- Write design docs, RFCs, and set technical direction for the team

## Requirements
- 5+ years building software, with experience on data-heavy or integration-flavored systems
- Solid backend and systems instincts; able to reason about deployment topology, multi-tenancy, data movement, and architectural tradeoffs
- Experience with modern auth protocols, service principals, and identity federation across trust boundaries
- Experience building on someone else's platform (incomplete docs, breaking changes)
- Comfortable in ambiguity: ship before spec is finished, make calls under uncertainty, flag irreversible decisions
- Strong collaboration skills to earn trust with engineers on teams you don't own
- Primarily a backend engineer but comfortable in JavaScript / TypeScript
- Effective use of AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot)
- Strong written communication for design docs, PRs, and RFCs

## Nice-to-haves
- Familiarity with a major cloud data or analytics platform ecosystem
- Real depth in auth and identity federation, or experience shipping through a partner marketplace or certification process
- Experience designing multi-tenant SaaS platforms, including isolation and deployment topology
- Working knowledge of ClickHouse or another columnar / OLAP engine
