As a Performance Engineer you will:

  • Work with internal development teams and the open source community to proactively drive performance improvements/optimizations across our data warehouse stack.

  • Evaluate performance of competitor systems.
     

We're excited about you if you have:

  • 8+ years of industry experience in performance related work ideally on large scale distributed systems.

  • Understanding of DBMS algorithms and data structure fundamentals.

  • Understanding of hardware trends and full stack systems performance: CPU, RAM, storage, network, Linux kernel, JVM, distributed systems performance.

  • Deep understanding of performance measurement methodologies and performance analysis tools and techniques.

  • Strong design and coding skills (Java/C++/Golang/Python preferred).

  • Ability to work in a distributed setting with team members spread across multiple geographies.

  • Demonstrated ability to work on large cross-functional projects, including strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset, as you will be working with many teams inside and outside of Cloudera.

  • Hands-on experience with containerization and Kubernetes.

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

You may also have:

  • Experience with the Hadoop ecosystem (i.e. Hive, Impala, Kudu)

  • Hands-on experience with public cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure and/or GCP)

Why this role matters:

This is your opportunity to build cloud-native solutions that are deployable anywhere whether in massive clusters on any cloud provider or in private data centers. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies like Trino, Spark, Airflow, and advanced AI inferencing systems to shape the future of analytics. Your code will directly influence how data engineers, analysts, and developers worldwide find value in their data.

We believe in the power of open source. You'll collaborate with project committers, contributing upstream to keep technologies like Apache Hive and Impala evolving. You'll harden these engines for rock-solid security, optimize them for peak performance, and make them effortlessly run across all environments.  Join us and help build the trusted, cloud-native platform that powers insights for the most data-intensive companies on the planet.

What you can expect from us:

  • Generous PTO Policy 

  • Support work life balance with Unplugged Days

  • Flexible WFH Policy
