Server Engineer (C++) (offline)

Altinity (https://altinity.com/) is looking for a great Server Internals Engineer to work on ClickHouse, the hottest analytic database on the planet. ClickHouse now has more contributors than ElasticSearch, previously the biggest analytic project on GitHub. We’re looking to hire even more. Altinity is a distributed company that values employees, open-source, and doing the right things for customers.

As ClickHouse server engineer you’ll be responsible for designing, implementing, and supporting features of ClickHouse ranging from encryption to storage to query processing. We’re looking for imaginative engineers with a background in database internals and in high-performance languages like C++.

We have lots of exciting projects underway with more to come as we help adapt ClickHouse to the cloud and Kubernetes.

Candidates need to meet the following qualifications:
- Prior demonstrated experience in developing/modifying high-performance DBMS;
- Excellent background in database internals including query languages, access methods, storage, and/or connectivity;
- Prior experience with C++ or C, and ability to read and write good C++;
- Basic understanding of networking and IO on Linux;
- Familiar with performance optimizations techniques and tools;
- History of getting pull requests vetted and merged in rapidly evolving open-source projects;
- Sound knowledge of software engineering for high reliability and performance: unit testing, component design, and low-level performance optimization;
- Enthusiasm to learn more about database technology and data-related applications;
- Good English language reading and writing skills;
- Eager to work with a friendly, distributed team following open source dev practices.

A day in your life as a ClickHouse server engineer may include any or all of the following:
- Write good task-specific C++ code, solidify it with tests;
- Diagnose and fix bugs reported by customers;
- Debug existing issues, fix them, add tests to make sure it wouldn’t happen again;
- Profile existing code and make it faster (either by applying clever algorithms, adding vectorized intrinsics or by implementing cool tricks), add performance tests;
- Help the Support Team to investigate customer issues;
- Research ideas for additions to ClickHouse;
- Design, implement, and test new ClickHouse features;
- Submit your own pull requests and review pull requests from others;
- Help new community members contribute to ClickHouse;
- Attend meetups and making presentations on open source development;
- Write blog articles and share information about ClickHouse.
