Sr. Data Engineer

The Future of Data at Cloudera

Cloudera is seeking a forward-thinking Senior Data Engineer to spearhead a major shift in how they build data infrastructure. Instead of grinding through manual scripts, you will champion "Vibe Coding"—leveraging AI orchestration to deliver complex pipelines and GenAI applications with unprecedented speed. Your mission is to move beyond the traditional dev lifecycle and create a high-velocity environment where AI handles the heavy lifting of code generation.

Technical Landscape & AI Orchestration

In this role, you’ll be hands-on with a robust distributed systems stack including Spark, Hadoop, and Python, while integrating modern GenAI components like RAG pipelines and vector databases. The focus isn't just on the tools, but on the workflow; you will use platforms like Cursor and GitHub Copilot to architect real-time data flows and self-service tools that allow business users to interact with data using natural language.

Leadership and Innovation

As a senior leader, you won’t just be building pipelines; you’ll be defining the standard for AI-first engineering. You will help the team transition to automated, high-quality code delivery, ensuring that data integrity remains paramount even as production speeds increase. This is an opportunity to design the blueprint for the next generation of data management and cement your expertise in AI-orchestrated system design.
