Software Engineer- C++/ClickHouse

At Tinybird, we help developers and data teams take flight by unlocking the power of real-time data to quickly build data pipelines and innovative data products. With Tinybird, you can effortlessly ingest multiple data sources at scale, query and shape it using the 100% pure SQL you already know and love, and publish results as low-latency, high-concurrency APIs for your applications to chirp about. Developers can create fast APIs, faster—what used to take hours and days now only takes minutes! Tinybird is the essential tool that data engineers and software developers have been waiting for enabling you to drive innovation with ease.

We are looking for someone who wants to contribute to Open Source as a full time job. In particular, someone that wants to contribute to ClickHouse, the database on which Tinybird is built. The Open Source landscape is evolving quickly, with many prominent companies re-evaluating the licenses of their products to safeguard against market monopolization. Despite these shifts, we remain steadfast in our belief that Open Source is a powerful force for good. After all, it’s the foundation of our professional journeys. Our goal is to enhance ClickHouse, not only to meet our own needs but also to give back to the community. We are committed to ensuring that ClickHouse remains the fastest database for years to come. Join us in this exciting endeavor!

 

 

We engage in daily discussions about the product, balancing immediate challenges with long-term vision. Your insights into ClickHouse’s internals will be invaluable in shaping our strategies and decisions. Our design philosophy involves working backward: someone proposes a solution, articulates its importance, outlines its functionality, and drafts a potential announcement blog post (which remains unpublished at this stage). The team reviews it, asks questions, and assesses its feasibility. You’ll be a key player in this process! We often create what we call an MSP (“Minimum Shitty Prototype”) to gain a rough understanding of how the solution might work and to gauge the effort required for implementation.
