What You'll Build
Cloudera is reimagining object storage for the Kubernetes era. Our customers will deploy and operate it entirely through AWC (Anywhere Cloud), our control plane for running data infrastructure on any Kubernetes cluster.
The Technical Surface
You won't touch all of this every day, but you should be comfortable picking up any of it when the system needs you to.
You'll work across:
Rust: Async I/O with tokio, io_uring buffer rings, zero-copy.
Java: Existing Apache Ozone codebase contribute upstream fixes, and maintain the reliable contract between Java metadata services and the Rust data plane.
Go:



Kubernetes operator built on controller-runtime, CRDs, reconcilers for StatefulSets/Deployments/PVs, init container orchestration, status conditions, and event reporting.
Kubernetes: Persistent volumes and storage classes, pod topology and anti-affinity, Istio ambient mesh for mTLS, NetworkPolicies, node maintenance flows, rolling upgrades, ResourceQuotas.
Distributed Systems: Erasure coding (RS-3-2, RS-6-3, RS-10-4), Ratis consensus, container replication, block deletion at scale, scrubber and reconciliation, online/offline EC reconstruction.
What You'll Actually Do
As a Builder
Own end-to-end implementation of major features—from design spec through merged code to production validation.
Contribute upstream to Apache Ozone for shared components.
Build the Kubernetes-native test suite, S3 conformance, EC fault injection via pod eviction, decommission and maintenance mode flows, and bit rot detection.
