Engineering Manager – Language clients

About the Role

ClickHouse is the fastest growing database in the OLAP space, and language clients are how the world talks to it. From Go and Python to Rust and Java, our client libraries are the first touch point for every developer who builds on ClickHouse, and the gateway to a rapidly expanding ecosystem of integrations, SDKs, and partner tooling.

We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Language Clients team - a group of motivated engineers ready to do their best work.

This is a high-ownership role. You will work closely with engineering leadership in your first months, with autonomy expanding as fast as you build confidence and context β€” there is no artificial timeline.

What You'll Do

Team & culture. Recruit, coach, and develop a high-bar team; set crisp expectations and foster a culture of ownership, speed, and continuous improvement. Mentor engineers at all levels, create growth opportunities, and build psychological safety and a healthy, inclusive environment where engineers do their best work.

Technical direction. Shape the product and execution strategy for language clients to stay ahead of 10x growth. Make opinionated architectural decisions while maintaining a customer-focused, fast-shipping culture. Establish measurable UX and developer experience benchmarks and own the roadmap to make ClickHouse client libraries best-in-class in the OLAP space.

OSS & Ecosystem. Lead expansion from core client libraries into a broader ecosystem: integrations, SDKs, partner tooling, and community-built extensions. Establish and sustain effective
