ClickHouse
About this role
ClickHouse builds the real time analytics database of the same name, and it is the one employer on this board that reliably posts remote India engineering roles. This seat is on the Core Engineering team working across the open source project and the Cloud service, building test automation for a large distributed database. The work is hands on Python coding, building automation frameworks and test cases, testing new features before release, and improving the testing infrastructure itself. You need to read C++ well enough to validate against it, though the posting does not ask you to write it. Note honestly that ClickHouse publishes no years of experience figure anywhere in this posting, so it will not appear under any experience filter on this page. Judge it on the skills list instead.
