Staff Software Engineer - QE

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 Anywhere Cloud (AWC) team is building Cloudera’s next-generation unified control plane. We are moving beyond traditional UI-driven workflows to an "AI-First" architecture. AWC enables the deployment of Data Services (like Spark, Trino, and Cloudera AI) across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Our platform orchestrates complex Kubernetes infrastructures, foundational services (Service Mesh, Auth, Logging), and data engines. As a Staff Software Engineer in Test, you will not just write tests; you will architect the automation framework and tools that validates a highly distributed, multi-cluster control plane. You will own the test strategy for AWC—validating it both as an application installed via Taikun and as a platform that orchestrates other clusters. You will define how we verify Zero-Trust security models, API-first contracts, and cross-cluster resource management.
