Why is this position open?

We believe that a new era in enterprise data management is upon us. Cloudera’s products and services, built on the open source Apache Hadoop platform, will fundamentally change the economics of data warehousing, processing, analysis and business intelligence. 


We are adding to our team in order to fullfil that vision.

Describe the current team this person will join, including the reporting structure.
Our enterprise engineering team has approximately 20 people with 3 of those being UI engineers.

Our UI team consists of engineers that are A-players that can handle several facets of technology. We follow scrum methodologies and have 2 week sprints with a review.

The reporting structure is flat, with all engineers reporting to the Director, Engineering.
What percentage of the candidate's time will be spent on existing products/business, versus items that are new?

The primary focus of our work is new development. As mentioned, we do 2 week sprints with a review at the end of each.

 

We like to bring customers in to give us feedback during review sessions in addition to peer feedback.

What challenges will this person face on a daily basis?

Helping our users make sense of the deluge of performance and management data that we gather from their Apache Hadoop clusters isn't easy. Cloudera is looking for front-end developers who are able to conceive of and build exciting, meaningful and - above all - useful visualisations that distill our knowledge of Hadoop into something you don't need a PhD in distributed systems to understand.


You'll work on our entire suite of customer-facing applications, joining our small team of outstanding front-end engineers, and every day you'll be solving the presentation and interaction problems that crop up only when dealing with systems of Hadoop's scale. We'll be impressed by your taste in clean and elegant user interfaces, your experience in building exceptional UIs for web applications, and your ability to write high-quality, maintainable and efficient code.

How are you positioned within the industry and what are your growth plans?

Cloudera is the leader in the market. Our flagship Enterprise product , Cloudera Manager is the only end-end Hadoop management solution in the industry today. We are rapidly growing and we expect to continue to be the dominant Hadoop company in the coming years.

What is your business model?
Cloudera offers its enterprise customers a family of products and services that complement the open-source Hadoop platform.

Cloudera Enterprise is Cloudera's subscription offering comprised of Cloudera Manager (Our flagship Hadoop Management software that delivers deep visibility into and across Hadoop clusters) and Cloudera Support. Cloudera is also the industry's leading Hadoop training provider.

We serve a wide range of customers across industries including financial services, healthcare, digital media, government, advertising, technology, retail, networking and telephony enterprises.

    Cloudera sounds solid, Aparna.

    I'm interested in moving into a management role. Do the UI Engineers have the opportunity to earn a management role (whether it be managing the other UI members or moving into the Director of Engineering role?). Thanks!

    Thanks for your interest.

    Cloudera is a rapidly growing company; there is plenty of opportunity for growth and career development.

    I don't know that we'll have a specific UI management role (Our UI engineers are currently embedded into vertical feature areas.) but we're very likely to have engineering management opportunities open up in general as we continue to expand.

    This is a great time to join our core team.
