Job Description: 

At Cloudera, we empower people to transform complex data into clear and actionable insights. With as much data under management as the hyperscalers, we're the preferred data partner for the top companies in almost every industry.  Powered by the relentless innovation of the open source community, Cloudera advances digital transformation for the world’s largest enterprises.

We are seeking a Senior Staff Engineer with a full-stack mentality to join our Public Cloud team. This is a mission-critical role within an impactful team of five, focused on the Cloudera Data Platform across the three major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP).

We need a seasoned Fullstack Engineer with Java expertise, who views software through the lens of the entire software development lifecycle. You will be a "self-enabler" who takes full ownership of features and architectural designs, in addition to the coding, ownership of features and architectural designs, release process, and takes testing and quality gates seriously.

Our ideal candidate will go to extremes when it comes to complex issues, such as starting up a VM/container to debug, and understands that a great profile involves both coding and deployment.

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will...

• Lead Image Management: Drive the development of tooling for VM image creation, management, and release across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

• Architectural Design: Provide high-level architectural planning and contribute at a Senior Staff level by independently leading major features.

• Own Test Frameworks: Take ownership of and contribute to the Java-based image validation and test automation frameworks.

• Drive Configuration as Code: Manage infrastructure and configuration using tools like Ansible, Salt, and Packer.

• Collaborate and Innovate: Work within a diverse set of tasks to deliver scalable, high-availability solutions for large-scale distributed systems.

We are excited if you have...

• Strong Generalist Background: A robust development background combined with DevOps and Fullstack experience.

• Java Expertise: Significant experience with Java, specifically for developing test code and automation frameworks (note: this is a generalist role, not a pure Java Developer role).

• Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python and/or Go.

• Cloud & Infrastructure Proficiency: Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP) and configuration management tools such as Ansible, Salt, or Packer.

• Distributed Systems Knowledge: An understanding of large-scale systems design, including scaling, replication, consistency, and high availability.

• Self-Driven Leadership: The ability to act as a "self-enabler," taking individual ownership of complex features without needing constant tech-lead supervision.

• Proven ability to diagnose and resolve challenging issues in large-scale, distributed cloud environments.

You may also have...

• Linux & DevOps Mastery: Deep knowledge of Linux environments and a "DevOps" mindset where you take responsibility for the full lifecycle, including deployment.

• Experience with large-scale, distributed systems design and development with an understanding of scaling, performance, and scheduling.

• Proactive problem-solving ability, to work independently, identify, define, and drive projects forward with minimal guidance.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams across different geographies.

• Passion for coaching and developing team members to achieve their full potential.

What you can expect from us:

• Generous PTO Policy 

• Support work life balance with Unplugged Days

• Flexible WFH Policy 

• Mental & Physical Wellness programs 

• Phone and Internet Reimbursement program 

• Access to Continued Career Development 

• Comprehensive Benefits and Competitive Packages 

• Paid Volunteer Time

• Employee Resource Groups
