About the Department
Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a massively successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers. Cloudflare’s edge and network make it possible to solve problems at massive scale and efficiency which would be impossible for almost any other organization.
What you'll do
In this role, you will collaborate with Customers, Designers, and Product Managers to design and build systems that push the boundaries of what is possible at the Cloudflare edge. You will own your code from inception to release, delivering solutions at all layers of the software stack to empower Cloudflare customers. On any given day, you might write a design document that outlines how you plan to solve a specific problem or implement a new feature, modify how R2 Storage processes requests, or fix a bug that's impacting our users. You can expect to interact with a variety of languages and technologies including. We primarily use Typescript and Go.
Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience
- 4+ years of experience working with distributed systems.
- Experience building and managing high volume software applications.
- Solid understanding of computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented or functional design.
- Knowledge of at least one modern strongly-typed programming language: we primarily use Go, TypeScript, and Rust.
- Experience debugging, optimizing and identifying failure modes in a large-scale distributed system.
