Senior Consulting Engineer - EMEA

As a Consulting Engineer, you're the hands-on engineer on our customers' most important projects. When a customer needs to migrate, integrate, or prove ClickHouse on a real workload, you work in the build alongside their engineers: you design it, build it, test it and hand it over.

You'll work on a broad mix of projects for customers across EMEA, from moving large workloads off other databases to building new real-time analytics on ClickHouse. Each one is scoped with clear goals from the start, so you know what success looks like and can get stuck in. It's a fast way to build deep experience across lots of different data problems.

The consulting function at ClickHouse is less than a year old, so you'll help shape how ClickHouse delivers this work as the team grows. Between projects you take cases alongside support engineers, which keeps you close to day-to-day support.

• Turn customer goals into a scoped project with measurable success criteria, sizing and a timeline
• Design a target architecture and prove it against the customer's own data: schema and engine design, capacity and sizing, proofs of concept
• Do the build: implementation, pipelines and integrations, migration execution, tooling and automation
• Measure it before it matters, with benchmarking, load and functional testing, then support the cutover
• Tune what production reveals, then hand over with an engagement report and knowledge transfer, so the customer's team can run it without you
• Take L1 to L3 cases alongside support engineers when you're between projects
• Feed what you see in the field back to Product and Engineering, and turn your work into reference architectures, knowledge base articles and blog posts
• Work in a constant feedback loop with the Pre-sales team to ensure that the demos and POCs they present are credible when you put them into production

• 5+ years delivering hands-on technical work for customers, whether your title was consultant, professional services, solutions architect, senior support, SRE or something else
• Real depth in databases, whether analytical, transactional or relational
• Hands-on SQL. You regularly write complex queries from scratch, and tune and debug them yourself
• You've owned implementations, migrations or POCs for external customers from start to finish
• Hands-on cloud experience (AWS, GCP and/or Azure)
• You've deployed and run workloads on Kubernetes yourself
• You've run distributed systems, such as distributed databases, in production
