My background in cloud and data-platform security, including IAM, encryption, private connectivity, threat modeling, and compliance assurance, aligns well with supporting enterprise customers in regulated environments. I am comfortable leading technical discussions with CISOs, security architects, and GRC teams while translating complex platform architectures into clear, audit-ready control narratives. I would bring a collaborative overlay approach to enable account teams, strengthen security responses, and help customers deploy secure ClickHouse Cloud and BYOC solutions. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to ClickHouse's EMEA growth and trusted security posture. Copy Sample interview questionsHow would you approach designing a secure ClickHouse deployment for a regulated financial-services customer?I would begin by understanding the customer's data classification, regulatory obligations, threat model, and required deployment model. I would then map ClickHouse controls and architecture—including private connectivity, IAM federation, encryption, customer-managed keys, and access controls—to those requirements, document residual risks, and validate the design through a production-readiness review. How do you explain a cloud platform's security posture to a CISO or GRC team? I would translate the technical architecture into the control language used by the customer, such as access management, encryption, logging, change management, vendor risk, and incident response. I would provide concise evidence, identify shared-responsibility boundaries, and make clear where the platform's SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, or other posture supports the requested framework. What areas would you prioritize in a threat model for a cloud data platform? A useful threat model identifies assets, trust boundaries, actors, entry points, likely abuse cases, and mitigations. For a data platform, I would focus on identity compromise, insecure network exposure, cross-tenant risks, data exfiltration, key-management failures, privileged access, and insufficient auditability, then prioritize mitigations based on likelihood and business impact. How would you improve the speed and quality of security questionnaires and RFP responses across EMEA? I would establish reusable, approved responses supported by authoritative evidence and clear ownership, while tailoring answers only where the customer's architecture or regulatory scope requires it. I would track recurring questions and gaps, improve the answer library, and escalate novel commitments or legal interpretations to the appropriate security, legal, and compliance stakeholders. How would you discuss GDPR and EU data residency with a prospective customer? I would lead with the business and regulatory outcome rather than reciting standards. For example, I would explain how regional deployment choices, access restrictions, encryption, retention controls, and documented processing arrangements support GDPR data-residency expectations, while clearly distinguishing contractual, operational, and technical responsibilities. ## About ClickHouse Recognized on the 2025 Forbes Cloud 100 list, ClickHouse is one of the most innovative and fast-growing private cloud companies. With more than 4,000 customers and ARR that has grown over 250 percent year over year, ClickHouse leads the market in real-time analytics, data warehousing, observability, and AI workloads. The company’s sustained, accelerating momentum was recently validated by a $400M Series D financing round.

These customers join an established base of AI innovators and global brands such as Meta, Cursor, Sony, and Tesla. We’re on a mission to transform how companies use data. Come be a part of our journey! As ClickHouse moves further into financial services, healthcare, telco, and the public sector across EMEA, more of our deals now turn on a specific set of questions: where the data lives, who can reach it, how it’s encrypted, and what the auditor needs to see. We’re looking for a Security Specialist to own those conversations, a specialist overlay within our EMEA Solutions Architecture team, brought in when security, data residency, or regulatory compliance conversations come up on a deal. Our ideal candidate comes from inside the data industry – and pairs deep security expertise with real data architecture depth. You’ll be the credible technical voice in front of CISOs and security architects, and the internal authority our field relies on for answers. What You’ll Be Doing * Act as the security overlay on EMEA opportunities supporting conversations related to security, privacy, or compliance, engaging customers and prospects alongside the account Solutions Architect and Account Executive, discussing our various deployment models, BYOC architectures and all related security questions. * Lead security conversations with CISOs, security architects, and GRC teams, translating ClickHouse architecture into the controls frameworks they recognize. * Design and validate secure ClickHouse Cloud and BYOC deployment patterns network isolation, private connectivity, encryption, customer-managed keys, identity federation, and granular access control. * Run threat modelling and architecture reviews with customer security teams, and own the security workstream through POC and production readiness. * Be the field’s authority on our compliance posture — SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and EU data residency, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and the European regulatory picture including DORA and NIS2. * Raise the quality and speed of security questionnaires, RFP security sections, DPIAs, and third-party risk reviews, building the reusable answer library as you go. * Build the security playbook for EMEA Solutions Architecture and enable SAs and AEs so routine security questions stay with the account team. What You Bring * Significant customer-facing technical experience at a data platform, analytics, streaming, or database company — you understand data architecture, not just security controls. * Demonstrable depth in cloud and data security: IAM, key management and cryptography, network isolation, secure multi-tenancy, threat modelling, and audit. * Working command of the frameworks that gate enterprise data deals — SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS — and comfort with EU regulation. * Credibility with security buyers. You’ve held your own in front of a CISO and know the difference between answering the question and getting through the meeting. * Overlay instincts and clear writing — comfortable working through others, prioritizing across a region, and producing artefacts that survive an auditor’s reading. Bonus Points For * Security certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, or CISM. * Hands-on security architecture experience across AWS, GCP, and Azure. * Experience in regulated industries — financial services, healthcare, telco, or the public sector. ## Compensation For roles based in the United States, the typical starting salary range for this position is listed above.
