I believe the best thing to do is jump right in.  Start working with Cloudera Products.  Complete some demos, join in online training, study documentation, and start creating experience.

As an example here are a few things that Solution Architects work on at Cloudera:

1. Install CDH or previous products: CDM, HDP, & HDF.
2. Hadoop Yarn & Map Reduce
3. Spark
4. Kafka
5. Hive & Hive LLAP
6. NiFi, NiFi Registry, & Schema Registry
7. Security (SSL, Encryption, etc)
8. Active Directory, LDAP, and Ranger
9. Other Components:  Hbase, Solar, Impala, Zeppelin
