[Job Posting] Solutions Architect at Cloudera

[Christophe Bisciglia <ch...@cloudera.com>]

Hadoop Fans, we're growing again, and wanted to let the Hadoop community
know.

If you enjoy working with Hadoop, are excited by doing cool things with
interesting data, and have experience working with customers, we'd like to
hear from you. For this role, experience writing Mapreduce, Hive and/or Pig
jobs for Hadoop is a must. Experience working on the internals of Hadoop is
not required.

We're looking to hire someone who will work primarily on the greater NY
metropolitan area, but will consider people elsewhere willing to travel. Our
headquarters are in the Bay Area, and everyone spends some time here.

Below is the full job description. If you are interested, please send your
resume to jobs+apache@cloudera.com <jo...@cloudera.com>, and include
"Solutions Architect" in the subject (and don't forget the +apache - it's
how we know you're already involved with the community).

Cheers,
Christophe
