Principal Product Manager - Ecosystems & Connectors

Product Manager, Connectors & Ecosystem

About

ClickHouse is recognized on the 2025 Forbes Cloud 100 list as one of the most innovative and fast-growing private cloud companies. With over 3,000 customers and ARR grown over 250% year-over-year, ClickHouse leads the market in real-time analytics, data warehousing, observability, and AI workloads. We are on a mission to transform how companies use data.

We are seeking an experienced Product Manager to own the connectors and ecosystem strategy at ClickHouse. This role will be crucial in defining and executing the product strategy for the broader ClickHouse ecosystem, including open-source connectors and integrations with external platforms.

Responsibilities

• Own the product strategy, roadmap, and execution across ClickHouse's native connectors and partner ecosystem.
• Build close feedback loops with technology partners, driving co-innovation and a growing joint integration surface.
• Track the competitive landscape closely and form strong, data-backed opinions on which ecosystem investments will move the business.
• Work with engineering to build a roadmap that balances connector stability, ClickHouse feature coverage, and developer experience.
• Measure and communicate the business impact, ROI, and customer success of the connectors portfolio to leadership.
• Raise the profile of the ClickHouse ecosystem through conference talks, blog posts, technical content, and community engagement.
• Build a design partner program to surface early customer feedback and co-develop solutions with the most engaged users.

Requirements

• Deep, hands-on domain expertise in the modern data integration landscape: streaming, orchestration, ETL/ELT, ingestion, or developer-facing platform products. Engineers transitioning into product management with meaningful experience in this space are strongly encouraged to apply.
• Technical depth to hold peer-level conversations about APIs, schema design, performance trade-offs, and connector architecture. You’re comfortable setting up integrations, reading documentation, and debugging connector behavior yourself.
• You anticipate where the integration landscape is heading and bring that perspective to engineering and leadership.
• External-facing: you’re energized by customer conversations, partner relationships, industry events, and publicly representing the product.
• Customer-first instincts: you translate loosely structured partner and customer signals into crisp requirements and a prioritized roadmap.
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving environments with high ownership and limited hand-holding.
• Strong written and verbal communication, including presenting roadmap strategy and trade-offs to engineering leadership and executives.
• Background working with open-source software or developer-focused products.
• Prior experience as an integration / ecosystem product manager, engineer or solutions architect is a bonus.
• Familiarity with ClickHouse or other databases such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift is a bonus.
• Experience working in remote, multi-timezone environments is a bonus.
• Proficiency in English is required.
