WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for someone who wants to contribute to Open Source as a full time job. In particular, someone that wants to contribute to ClickHouse, the database on which Tinybird is built. The Open Source landscape is evolving quickly, with many prominent companies re-evaluating the licenses of their products to safeguard against market monopolization. Despite these shifts, we remain steadfast in our belief that Open Source is a powerful force for good. After all, it’s the foundation of our professional journeys. Our goal is to enhance ClickHouse, not only to meet our own needs but also to give back to the community. We are committed to ensuring that ClickHouse remains the fastest database for years to come.
