Position: Forward Deployed Engineer - Clickhouse

Department: Data · Engagement: 1099 contract · Location: Remote (US time zones preferred) · Reports to: TBD

Brainforge is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer - Clickhouse to embed on client engagements and own the ClickHouse work: schema, ingestion, queries, and performance. You are the technical voice on the account, and you still ship the tables and pipelines yourself.

In this role, you will:

• Design ClickHouse schemas and table engines for the client’s query patterns, including MergeTree choices, partitioning, and ordering keys.
• Build ingestion into ClickHouse and keep it observable.
• Write and tune queries. Explain the trade-off when something is slow.
• Work in ClickHouse Cloud or a client-managed cluster, including users, quotas, and environments.
• Join client standups and architecture reviews. Partner with analytics and CSO teammates when the question is a metric, not a table.
• Contribute reusable patterns back to internal playbooks.

Must have

• ClickHouse Certified Developer, held now or passed before your start date. The offer is contingent on that. Brainforge covers the approved exam cost.
• 3+ years of data engineering, with production ClickHouse: schema, ingestion, and query performance.
• Strong SQL, and Python for pipeline and operational work.
• Clear communication, 1099 comfort, and the ability to work across 2–3 clients.

Nice to have

• ClickHouse Cloud, streaming ingestion, or dbt against ClickHouse.
• A migration or dual-running setup from Snowflake, BigQuery, or Postgres.
• Consulting or professional services experience.

This role is not

• A Snowflake-only role, a BI-only role, or a role with no client communication.
• A fit if ClickHouse is only a keyword on your resume, or if you need visa sponsorship.

How to Apply

Select ClickHouse Data Engineer as the position. Include a Loom or equivalent video.
