ClickHouse the hottest analytic database on the planet and Altinity is the home of ClickHouse experts who build real-time data solutions that run anywhere. ClickHouse now has 41.8k stars on GitHub and more contributors than ElasticSearch, previously the biggest open-source analytic project on GitHub.

We are seeking a hands-on Build DevOps Engineer to support our ClickHouse build pipeline, and to help us build cutting-edge database releases for cloud and on-prem operation. This is a programming-intensive DevOps role, with a strong emphasis on scripting, automation, and infrastructure reliability. You'll work directly on CI/CD infrastructure that powers our Altinity Stable Builds—a curated release stream of ClickHouse optimized for production use—and contribute to both Altinity’s ClickHouse fork and the official ClickHouse upstream repository.

• Build, sign, and publish .deb, .rpm, and Docker images to internal and public registries
• Collaborate with ClickHouse development and QA teams to ship high-quality builds and features
• Investigate and resolve CI/CD failures, flaky tests, and build regressions
• Design automation to make release workflows more reliable, repeatable, and self-healing
• Proactively monitor infrastructure and pipelines to ensure 24/7 availability
  
  

Desired Skills & Experiences

• Excellent knowledge of cloud infrastructure management: AWS is required; familiarity with GCP and Azure is a plus.
• Excellent Python programming, Shell/Bash scripting, and Linux system administration skills
• Deep familiarity with git and modern build systems like CMake and Ninja
• Strong experience building and debugging CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions
• Hands-on expertise in creating and publishing .deb, .rpm, and Docker images
• Solid understanding of containers and virtualization technologies
• Ability to methodically debug complex infrastructure problems and eliminate root causes
• Strong documentation and communication habits
