Job description
ClickHouse is 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 more contributors than ElasticSearch, previously the biggest open-source analytic project on GitHub.
Altinity is looking for a great server internals engineer to help maintain and improve the security posture of ClickHouse. As a Server Engineer , you'll be responsible for designing, implementing, and supporting features of ClickHouse ranging from encryption to storage to query processing. The primary focus of this role is identifying, analyzing, validating, and resolving security vulnerabilities that affect ClickHouse and its dependencies. You will work closely with the open-source community and Altinity engineering teams to ensure security issues are addressed quickly and correctly.
We have lots of exciting projects underway as we help the community adapt ClickHouse to the cloud and Kubernetes.
Our ideal candidate has:
Proven experience in design, implementation, and testing high-performance DBMS features in a complex C++ codebase.
Excellent background in database internals including query languages, access methods, storage, and/or connectivity
Demonstrated ability to read and write good C++
Good understanding of networking and I/O on Linux
Ability to assess the applicability and severity of newly disclosed vulnerabilities in large software systems and their dependency chains
Experience reproducing security issues, performing root cause analysis, and developing robust, testable fixes
Familiarity with common vulnerability classes including memory corruption, denial of service, privilege escalation, authentication bypass, injection vulnerabilities, and information disclosure
Familiarity with CVSS scoring, threat modeling, and security risk assessment
Understanding of software supply chain security and dependency risk management
Ability to independently investigate ambiguous technical problems and make sound engineering decisions
Strong written communication skills, including the ability to document vulnerabilities, mitigations, and security recommendations clearly
Familiar with performance optimization techniques and tools
History of getting pull requests vetted and merged in rapidly evolving open-source projects
Sound knowledge of database testing, debugging, 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
MAJOR PLUS: Previous experience with ClickHouse development and vulnerability management processes
A day in your life as a ClickHouse server engineer may include any or all of the following:
Write good task-specific C++ code and solidify it with tests
Debug issues reported by users, fix them and add tests to make sure they won’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
Submit your own pull requests and review pull requests from others
Help the Support Team investigate customer problems running ClickHouse
Help new community members contribute to ClickHouse
Attend meetups and make presentations on open-source development
Write blog articles and share information about ClickHouse
