At Cloudera, we empower people to transform complex data into clear and actionable insights. With as much data under management as the hyperscalers, we're the preferred data partner for the top companies in almost every industry. Powered by the relentless innovation of the open source community, Cloudera advances digital transformation for the world’s largest enterprises.
Our global infrastructure underpins every facet of Cloudera’s business—from data-center operations to IaaS-delivered analytics. As an IC2 Network Engineer based in Costa Rica, you’ll be part of the small, high-impact team that keeps that foundation secure, performant, and ready for tomorrow’s growth.

Operate at scale – Maintain high-capacity links (10 GbE – 100 GbE), routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), and firewall policies to meet strict latency and uptime targets.
Automate first – Use Ansible, Python, or Terraform to turn repetitive tasks into reproducible playbooks and CI/CD pipelines.
Incident first-responder – Tri-level troubleshooting (physical, logical, cloud edge) for P1/P2 events; rotate in a 24×7 on-call schedule.
Document & share – Keep diagrams, runbooks, and change records current so the wider Ops and SRE teams can move quickly.
Security mindset – Partner with InfoSec to harden configs, manage certs/keys, and remediate vulnerabilities with switch upgrades.
