Release Engineer - Data Plane Internal Tooling and Productivity

About the role

The Release Team owns the safe, continuous delivery of ClickHouse Cloud, a managed database platform running tens of thousands of ClickHouse clusters. This role is an equal split between operational execution and software development. You are responsible for the operational side: coordinating and running upgrades, dealing with edge cases that don't fit the happy path, and keeping tens of thousands of clusters healthy in production.

What you'll do

• Own the full release pipeline: from pre-upgrade validation and staged rollouts to post-upgrade monitoring and incident response
• Investigate and resolve production issues as part of a regular on-call rotation, including snowflake clusters and edge cases that automation can't yet handle
• Build and improve the internal tooling and automation that makes large-scale database operations reliable and repeatable
• Work closely with the core database and cloud infrastructure teams to identify operational pain points and turn them into solved problems
• Support and educate other engineering teams using our internal tools

What you need

• 5–9 yrs of experience
• AWS
• Kubernetes
• Incident response
• GCP
• Snowflake
• Azure
• Any graduate
