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 Storage Engineering Team at Cloudera builds the distributed storage components for the Cloudera Data Platform that serve the storage needs of over a thousand enterprise customers. The distributed storage platforms shipped by Cloudera include the Hadoop Distributed Filesystem and Apache Ozone. Ozone is an open source, highly scalable distributed Object store and filesystem that is designed to handle the demanding needs of analytics and cloud-native applications while scaling to thousands of nodes, billions of files and hundreds of Petabytes of data. Ozone is an Apache Software Foundation top-level project. We are looking for an experienced engineering manager with a strong technical background who has already worked on successful releases of software products of high technical complexity. In addition to HDFS and Ozone, the Storage Team also develops a high performance, open source implementation of the RAFT consensus protocol (Apache Ratis) which is used extensively within Ozone. Ozone is the next generation storage platform that is the base of Cloudera Data Platform for all of Cloudera’s on-prem customers. You get to work with world-class engineers on challenging systems problems like distributed consensus, fault tolerance, performance and security.
