Senior Data Engineer

At ClickUp, we're building the future of work: the first truly converged AI workspace unifying tasks, docs, chat, calendar, and enterprise search, all supercharged by context-driven AI. We are an AI-native company. Every team member is expected to leverage AI daily, and we evaluate AI fluency as part of our hiring process. Join us and help redefine what's possible. 🚀

We're looking for a Staff Data Engineer to own the architecture and technical vision of our data platform. This is a high-leverage, high-autonomy role where you'll set the technical bar for the team, drive cross-functional alignment on data infrastructure strategy, and solve our hardest engineering problems. You'll operate across AWS serverless technologies, Snowflake, dbt, and Terraform, but your impact goes well beyond any single tool: you'll shape how we think about reliability, scalability, cost, and developer experience at the platform level.

This role is for someone who doesn't just build great systems, but makes the engineers around them better.

• Experience operating data platforms at high scale (petabyte-level warehouses, millions of events/sec).

• Familiarity with data mesh or data product paradigms.

• Experience with FinOps practices and cloud cost management at scale.

• Prior experience in a technical leadership role without direct reports (staff/principal IC track).

• Contributions to open-source data tools or technical communities.
