Engineering Manager – Cloudera Cloud FoundationVerified as a real position

Who we’re looking for

• 5+ years of engineering management experience leading platform, infrastructure, or cloud-native teams, with a strong senior IC background prior to management.
• Experience leading distributed teams across multiple time zones, including Europe and North America.
• Hands-on familiarity with the Kubernetes ecosystem and the cloud-native platform stack: Helm, GitOps tooling, CI/CD systems, and common ecosystem components, enough to engage credibly in architecture and design discussions, ask sharp questions, push back when something smells off, and earn IC trust.
• Track record of shipping infrastructure software (not just operating it) including decisions about packaging, distribution, and lifecycle.
• Strong delivery track record: roadmap ownership, dependency management, predictable execution.
• Good written and verbal communication; able to drive alignment with peer engineering managers and cross-functional partners.
• BSc/MSc in a relevant field or equivalent experience.

What you’ll do

• Lead, grow, and mentor a team of platform and software engineers responsible for CCF's foundation services, distributed across European, Indian, and US time zones.
• Own delivery and execution end-to-end for CCF: roadmap, commitments, predictability, quality, and operational excellence.
• Partner with architects to translate architecture into well-scoped engineering work; bring independent judgment to technical decisions and escalate cleanly when needed.
• Drive multi-tenant, multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, OpenStack) design and execution, ensuring CCF behaves consistently across substrates.
• Partner with peer engineering teams across Cloudera to align on contracts, dependencies, and integration points.
• Establish and uphold engineering standards: code review, testing, CI/CD, observability, security posture, and incident response.
• Recruit, hire, and onboard engineers at pace across multiple geographies; run performance management, career development, and 1:1s.
