Senior Software Engineer in Test - Anywhere Cloud

Job Description: 

Team Overview

The Anywhere Cloud (AWC) team is building Cloudera’s next-generation unified control plane.

We are moving beyond traditional UI-driven workflows to an "AI-First" architecture.

AWC enables the deployment of Data Services (like Spark, Trino, and Cloudera AI) across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Our platform orchestrates complex Kubernetes infrastructures, foundational services (Service Mesh, Auth, Logging), and data engines.

The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer in Test, you will not just write tests; you will architect the automation framework and tools that validates a highly distributed, multi-cluster control plane. You will own the test strategy for AWC—validating it both as an application installed via Taikun and as a platform that orchestrates other clusters. You will define how we verify Zero-Trust security models, API-first contracts, and cross-cluster resource management.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

• Design and execute test plans validating the end-to-end cluster creation flow on a kubernetes platform.

• Managing complex data modeling and schema drift, as well as embedding automated data quality checks and statistical anomaly detection directly into pipelines to shift away from reactive, manual quality processes.

• Working with governance layers to ensure policies like tag-driven Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), column-level masking, row-level filters, and zero-code lineage ingestion (e.g., Octopai) are accurately enforced at the data layer.
   

We are excited if you have:

• Ability to learn and develop AI enabled test automation frameworks.

• Hands-on understanding of modern compute and streaming engine internals like Spark, Kafka, Trino, Airflow

• Understanding of Kubernetes internals (CRDs, Controllers, Operators, Namespaces). You must understand how to debug and test complex Helm chart deployments and dependencies.

• Expert-level proficiency in Python/Shell for scripting and automation.

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

• Experience: 4+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on test automation, infrastructure, or backend development 

What you can expect from us:

• Generous PTO Policy 

• Support work life balance with Unplugged Days

• Flexible WFH Policy 

• Mental & Physical Wellness programs 

• Phone and Internet Reimbursement program 

• Access to Continued Career Development 

• Comprehensive Benefits and Competitive Packages 

• Paid Volunteer Time

• Employee Resource Groups
