AI in this role
About the Team The SysAdmin team owns ClickHouse Cloud's internal operations ecosystem: the web application, backend admin APIs, and CLI tooling used by SRE, Support, Billing, Sales Ops, and Engineering to inspect and operate on customer fleets. Our mission is to make high-stakes operational actions safe, audited, and frictionless.
What You Will Do
Architect and scale the internal SysAdmin console, admin APIs, and Go-based CLI plugins used across the company.
Enforce safety mechanisms on high-impact actions: fine-grained permissions, staff SSO enforcement, scoped service tokens, guardrails, and immutable audit logging.
Build unified integrations across third-party platforms (Salesforce, Pylon, billing platforms, feature flags) to surface holistic customer state in one pane.
Partner directly with internal stakeholders (Support, SREs, Sales Ops) to eliminate operational toil and streamline crisis response workflows.
What We Are Looking For
Experience: 6+ years in full-stack software engineering, specifically building back-office tooling, admin consoles, or internal developer platforms.
Core Stack: Strong TypeScript/Node.js and React for dense, data-heavy UIs. Experience or willingness to write Go for CLI tooling is a major plus.
Safety & Auth Infrastructure: Deep understanding of internal authorization, staff access policies, rate-limiting, and audit trail design.
Integration Expertise: Comfortable connecting external APIs, managing authentication contracts, handling rate limits, and ensuring data freshness.
Ideal Backgrounds: Internal tools, trust & safety, fintech ops platforms, or developer productivity teams at cloud platforms (e.g., Stripe Ops, Shopify, Atlassian, Datadog, Cloudflare).
