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.

The Data Services Platform (DSP) team is building a common substrate for Cloudera’s next-gen Data Services for GenAI Inferencing, Machine Learning, Data Engineering, Data Warehousing, Data Flow, Data Lake, etc. We are constructing a hybrid data platform that abstracts the complexities of various cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and is the foundation pillar of Cloudera’s hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud strategy.

This team possesses deep technical expertise in distributed computing and container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes, Apache Hadoop, etc. Team members have been pioneers of open-source projects like Apache YARN, Apache Ambari, and YuniKorn for Kubernetes, and are deeply involved in communities like Apache Software Foundation and CNCF.

We are seeking a Backend Software Engineer with strong systems expertise to drive the development of Cloudera’s next-generation compute platforms. This team is specifically responsible for designing, building, and delivering on Apache YuniKorn—an open-source scheduler system that accelerates resource management and scheduling capabilities on Kubernetes, both on-prem and in the public cloud.

As a Staff Software Engineer you will:

• Help build the platform for resource management with Apache YuniKorn to power Kubernetes workloads in the CDP product portfolio.

• Design, code, and implement elegant, scalable, enterprise-quality application services.

• Build strong relationships and collaborate closely with platform and UI engineers, quality engineers, UX designers, Product Management, and Field Engineering.

• Enhance developer velocity and team agility across the platform.

We’re excited about you if you have:

• 8+ years of experience building systems software in large-scale production environments.

• Strong understanding of scaling, performance, and scheduling.

• Deep knowledge of system design & architecture and concurrent programming.

• Experience with systems programming languages (Java, Go, Python) and microservices development (Go, GRPC, SQL).

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

• Strong problem-solving capabilities, a high level of creativity, and a strong sense of ownership and craftsmanship.

• Excellent written & verbal communication skills.

You may also have:

• Contributions to existing open-source projects in Apache Software Foundation or CNCF.

• Hands-on experience with container technologies (Kubernetes, Docker, Openshift, EKS, AKS, GKE, Google Anthos etc.).

• Expertise in one or more large-scale resource management systems (Kubernetes, Apache YARN, Apache Yunikorn, Mesos).

• Experience building PaaS and SaaS products or scalable, robust, and secure Enterprise applications.

• Experience with more than one Cloud Platform (AWS, Azure, GCP, Openshift).

• Full-stack web services development skills (e.g., modern JavaScript frameworks like Angular, React).

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
