About Cloudera
Cloudera's quota carriers sell platform subscriptions and cloud consumption into large data estates, pitching an open Iceberg lakehouse, Anywhere Cloud and private AI to CIOs and chief data officers who want to run analytics and models without moving their data. In the US the field is cut by sector: key account directors own a short list of named Fortune 500 relationships in financial services or media and entertainment, an account executive expands an installed bank by landing new workloads, and a public sector team works SLED territories (North-East, Central) and Federal Civilian agencies, with Cloudera Government Solutions engineers assigned to the Department of Energy and the national labs. A separate Applied AI team resells a Cloudera-supported OEM build of Mistral's models, both inside existing Cloudera accounts, where it works beside the account executive who owns the customer, and to new buyers who want sovereign AI, with sellers in Texas, the UK and Singapore. Each account team pairs the seller with a solutions engineer who carries the technical win from the first meeting through renewal, while partner solutions engineers and an OEM partner manager running the global IBM relationship sell through the channel. Its sales seats are mid-senior ones for experienced enterprise sellers and engineers, with deals qualified on MEDDPPICCC and forecast in Salesforce and Clari.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Cloudera
Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026
Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: US public sector and solutions engineering postings print an annual base salary range for each state the seat may sit in (the same band across those states in each sampled posting) and add that sales roles earn Cloudera's commission plan on top, while non-sales roles get the corporate incentive plan instead. None of them states an OTE, the base to variable split or the quota, and some US postings, such as the North Carolina key account director, print no figure at all. Postings in the UK, Ireland, continental Europe, Brazil, Singapore and India name no pay. Ask for the OTE and the split, how subscription bookings, renewals and cloud consumption are each credited, and, for Applied AI and partner seats, how a deal shared with the core account executive or a partner is counted. The roles listed below state what Cloudera posts now.
Only 3 of its 24 openings post pay, not enough to call a band typical for Cloudera, so the figure above comes from research. What each sales role posts:
