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 Platform Pillar is the bedrock of Cloudera’s technology, where we design and build the core components that let our customers store, manage, and process data with unmatched scalability, security, and performance.

The Replication Manager team is looking for passionate developers to join our growing engineering team. The team is responsible for building out the storage, metadata, permissions and lineage replication support for the Cloudera Data Platform. The team's mission is to provide a seamless experience for our customers for moving the data and all entities associated with that to achieve migration, replication as well as disaster recovery use cases.

Replication Manager enables the customers to replicate data across data centers or to/from the cloud. Replication scenarios can include data stored in HDFS, Ozone, or public cloud buckets; data stored in Hive tables, Hive metastore, HBase or Iceberg table data; Ranger permissions and Atlas lineage. The datasets can range from terabytes to petabytes of data with some additional challenges like millions of directories/Ozone keys, individual file sizes ranging in gigabytes, near real time HBase WAL replication.

How we work:

We are a distributed team that values deep technical work and a sustainable, long-term focus. Our culture is built on psychological safety, trust, and respect for an engineer's time.

• We practice a blameless culture, focusing on solving problems, not assigning blame
• We value deep work. We have no-meeting days and balance our time carefully between async communication and real-time collaboration like pair programming
• We trust you to manage your time. We offer flexible hours to support a healthy work-life balance
