ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team building and operating ClickHouse Managed Postgres.
The Managed Postgres team is building a high-performance, reliable PostgreSQL service within ClickHouse Cloud. We give developers a familiar PostgreSQL experience, remove operational burden, and connect transactional Postgres workloads with real-time analytics in ClickHouse. The team owns provisioning, high availability, backup and recovery, upgrades, observability, performance, security, and developer experience.
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.
You will report directly to Kaushik Iska, who leads the Managed Postgres organization. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Infrastructure, Security, Support, and engineering teams across ClickHouse.
Lead, coach, and grow a high-performing team through clear expectations, feedback, development, and direct performance management.
Own outcomes across provisioning, fleet management, failover, point-in-time recovery, upgrades, observability, performance, and security.
Turn customer and business needs into a multi-quarter roadmap with incremental milestones.
Guide architecture and help senior engineers make explicit, sound tradeoffs.
Raise operational quality across SLOs, on-call, incidents, maintenance, and automation.
Work directly with customers and turn recurring pain into product improvements.
Align dependencies, surface risks early, and keep execution predictable across a distributed organization.
Hire the right mix of PostgreSQL, systems, infrastructure, reliability, and product engineering talent while fostering ownership and clear technical debate.
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.
Technical credibility to engage deeply in architecture and incidents without owning daily implementation.
A record of hiring, coaching, developing, and retaining engineers, including senior ICs.
Strong execution judgment across ambiguity, parallel workstreams, risk, and long-term system health.
A customer mindset, strong Product partnership, clear communication, and distributed-team leadership.
NICE TO HAVE
Managed PostgreSQL, relational database, or cloud control-plane leadership
PostgreSQL internals, extensions, replication, storage, performance, or database reliability depth
AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, or multi-region experience
Experience taking infrastructure from early adoption through general availability
Open-source, technical writing, speaking, startup, or founder experience
Shape a strategic product at the intersection of PostgreSQL and ClickHouse.
Lead a technical team where correctness, performance, reliability, and developer experience all matter.
Influence the product, roadmap, operating model, and customer outcomes.
