Requirements

Candidates should have 5+ years of software development experience, with a strong focus on data-intensive solutions. Proficiency in Rust, including advanced knowledge of ownership semantics, async programming, zero-cost abstractions, and performance optimization is required. Experience with Rust's async runtime, concurrent programming patterns, and building high-throughput applications is essential. A strong understanding of database concepts, SQL, data modeling, query optimization, and OLAP/analytical databases is necessary. Experience with Rust profiling and performance analysis tools, WebAssembly, and integrating with data processing frameworks is also required. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills and a passion for open-source development are expected. Bonus points for prior contributions to Rust open-source projects, familiarity with ClickHouse or similar platforms, deep understanding of Rust's data processing ecosystem, and familiarity with C++ or TCP/IP.

Responsibilities

The Senior Software Engineer will architect and maintain ClickHouse's Rust ecosystem, crafting zero-cost abstractions and memory-safe tools for Rust developers. They will own the full lifecycle of Rust-based integrations, from core database drivers to SDKs and connectors, and drive integration with Rust data processing ecosystems like Polars and DataFusion. The role involves collaborating with the open-source community and internal teams to ensure high performance and reliability of Rust integrations, bridging ClickHouse with modern Rust data processing frameworks for seamless data pipelines, and potentially contributing to ClickHouse's multi-language ecosystem and core engine optimizations.
