About the role

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team building and operating ClickHouse Managed Postgres. You will combine people leadership, technical direction, product thinking, and operational ownership while maintaining the reliability customers expect.

Key responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and grow a high‑performing team through clear expectations, feedback, development, and performance management.

• Guide architecture and help senior engineers make explicit, sound trade‑offs.
• Raise operational quality across SLOs, on‑call, incidents, maintenance, and automation.
• Hire the right mix of PostgreSQL, systems, infrastructure, reliability, and product engineering talent.

Required profile

• 8+ years in software engineering, including 3+ years managing engineers in infrastructure, databases, or developer platforms.
• Experience building and operating a customer‑facing stateful service with demanding availability, durability, security, and performance requirements.
• Working knowledge of PostgreSQL or managed relational databases, including replication, WAL, high availability, recovery, upgrades, observability, or performance diagnosis.
