The Team:

Engineering at Consensus is where collaboration meets innovation. We operate with transparency and foster a blameless culture—mistakes aren’t something to hide; they’re fuel for growth. Solving real customer challenges is at the heart of everything we do, and we believe the best software comes from engineers who think like product owners. Here, your ideas matter, your work drives impact, and every line of code makes a difference.

About the Role:

We're looking for a high-caliber backend engineer with a passion for data and a deep understanding of analytics architectures. If you're excited about designing and scaling high-throughput systems, working with best-in-class tools like ClickHouse, and mentoring others along the way this could be your next big move. You’ll help lead initiatives that drive our analytics platform forward, supporting real-time insights at scale in a fast-paced, customer-obsessed environment.

What You’ll Do:

●      Design, build, and optimize analytics stores using ClickHouse for speed, scale, and reliability.

●      Translate complex business needs into performant queries and data models that support deep analytical use cases.

●      Apply strong Java and/or PHP skills to evolve our service layer, with a focus on integration with high-volume data platforms.

●      Collaborate with product and development teams to define requirements and ensure data solutions are accurate, scalable, and maintainable.

●      Own end-to-end delivery: from architecture to deployment, including tests, monitoring, and performance tuning.

●      Shape our platform’s future by contributing to architecture discussions, POCs, and long-term scaling strategies.

●      Debug and optimize production systems, especially those handling large-scale query loads or ingest pipelines.

●      Mentor team members on best practices in data engineering, backend architecture, and efficient querying.

What We’re Looking For:

●      Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

●      4+ years of backend engineering experience in high-scale systems.

●      Deep experience with SQL and columnar analytics stores (ClickHouse strongly preferred).

●      Strong background in Java and/or PHP (including frameworks like Spring Boot or Laravel).

●      Proven experience designing and optimizing data models for fast analytical queries.

●      Familiarity with Kafka and event-driven systems.

●      Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

●      Solid understanding of RESTful API design and microservices architecture.

●      Pragmatic engineering instincts: balancing performance, simplicity, and business needs.

●      Passion for performance: you know how to identify bottlenecks and how to fix them.
