• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes and applying SRE practices.
• 3+ years of backend or full‑stack engineering experience.

Aufgaben

• Own and optimize the ingestion pipeline across a high-volume data flow from API to analytics store.
• Design and evolve ClickHouse schemas and run complex analytical queries with peers.
• Create reusable backend building blocks to speed up product features.
• Operate production cloud deployments across environments with capacity planning and incident response.

Jobbeschreibung

About the Role We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own and scale the infrastructure behind one of the most widely adopted open-source LLM engineering platforms in the world — processing terabytes of AI tracing data per day for thousands of AI teams, including a significant portion of the Fortune 50. We're a small, engineering-heavy team building what many consider the \"Datadog\" of LLM observability. We sit at the intersection of open source, high-throughput data infrastructure, and applied AI — and we're now part of a leading columnar database company, which means the engineers who built the database you'll be optimizing are a Slack message away. This is a hybrid role based in EU timezones, with approximately one week per month in our Berlin office. You can be based anywhere in the EU. Visa sponsorship is not available — you must be legally authorized to work in the EU.

What You'll Do

• Own and optimize the ingestion pipeline: Work on throughput, latency, reliability, and cost efficiency across a high-volume data pipeline that flows from our API through to a ClickHouse-backed analytics store.
• Make ClickHouse sing: Design and evolve schemas, write and tune complex analytical queries, and partner with ClickHouse engineers to push the limits of what's possible at petabyte scale.
• Build backend abstractions: Create reusable, well-documented building blocks so that product engineers can ship data-heavy features without reinventing infrastructure each time.
• Operate production systems: Run and improve cloud deployments across multiple production environments — handling capacity planning, incident response, and monitoring with SRE discipline.
• Make self-hosting effortless: Maintain and improve deployment tooling from a single Docker Compose setup all the way to enterprise-grade Helm chart deployments on Kubernetes.
• Contribute to open source: Everything you ship is public and immediately used by developers worldwide — participate in PR reviews, issue triage, and community engagement.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Based in the EU and able to work EU timezones; willing to be in Berlin approximately one week per month.
• Legally authorized to work in the EU without company visa sponsorship.
• Hands‑on experience with ClickHouse or other columnar/analytical databases — schema design, query optimization, and managing large‑scale analytical workloads.
• Experience designing, building, and operating high‑throughput data pipelines (streaming and/or batch) capable of processing terabytes of data per day.
• Production experience with observability and distributed tracing systems (metrics, logs, traces) for large-scale, low‑latency services.
• Experience deploying and operating services with Docker and Kubernetes, and applying SRE practices such as capacity planning, incident response, and monitoring.
• Proven ability to take end‑to‑end ownership of backend/platform components and work autonomously in a small, fast‑moving engineering team.
• 3+ years of backend or full‑stack engineering experience.

Nice to Have:

• Experience contributing to or maintaining open-source projects — including PR reviews, issue triage, and community workflows.
• Background at companies working in AI/ML tooling, data infrastructure, or observability.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: €90,000 – €160,000 per year, depending on experience
• Meaningful equity in a well-backed, high-growth company (previously Series A/B stage investors; now part of a larger technology organization)
• Small team = large scope and direct impact on product and architecture
• Work with — and get direct access to — world‑class database engineers at the infrastructure layer you depend on daily
• Flexible remote-first culture with regular in‑person time in Berlin
