ClickHouse is one of the fastest-growing databases in the world, and our design team is at an inflection point. As we expand into new solution areas, we're looking for a designer who codes. You'll own the core platform experience, SQL console, billing, user management, working directly in the codebase alongside engineers and PMs. If you thrive in fast-moving environments, fix bugs yourself instead of filing tickets, and use AI to stay ahead of the curve, we'd love to hear from you.
What you will be doing
- Owning the design and frontend quality of core platform areas, from initial concept through to production.
- Jumping into the codebase to fix UI bugs and ship polish directly
- Communicating designs through wireframes, prototypes, and visual mockups, and iterating quickly based on feedback.
- Partnering closely with product managers and engineers as a trusted, embedded collaborator, not a separate creative function.
- Using AI tools to accelerate your workflow, automate repetitive tasks, and improve code quality.
- Contributing to design feedback sessions with internal and external stakeholders to validate assumptions.
- Advocating for product quality and user experience, even when you have to create the guardrails yourself.
What you bring along
- Proven experience designing for complex software applications, ideally in B2B SaaS or developer tools.
- Genuine frontend engineering skills: you write React, TypeScript, and CSS, and you're comfortable in a real codebase.
- Strong visual design fundamentals and a sharp eye for UI quality and craft.
- Experience owning products end-to-end, working directly with developers and Product Managers.
- Advanced proficiency in Figma, including components, prototyping, and design systems.
- Enthusiasm for AI tools and an active practice of using them in design, engineering, workflows, or all of the above.
- You are energized by the startup pace, including the ambiguity and shifting priorities that come with scaling and growing a company with as much potential as ClickHouse
Bonus points for
- Experience with SQL consoles, data products, or technical developer tooling.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted design or engineering workflows (Cursor, Copilot, Figma MCP, v0, etc.).
- Open source contributions or an active GitHub presence.
- Experience in a fast-moving, globally distributed startup environment.
