- Lead reliability and operations for ClickHouse’s Postgres integration — upgrades, patching, maintenance, and scaling.

- Design and implement automation for provisioning, deployments, and service lifecycle management across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

- Develop infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and modern CI/CD tooling to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments.

- Contribute Go-based tooling and services that improve automation, observability, and developer experience.

- Own observability and monitoring, ensuring robust alerting, metrics, and tracing across environments.

- Drive incident management and postmortem practices that strengthen reliability and learning loops.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with platform, networking, and product teams to improve service operability.

- Mentor and enable engineers, helping the team scale effectively as customer adoption grows.
