About the Role Cloudflare’s Data Org builds the systems that ingest, process, store, and retrieve data generated across our global network. These systems power the logs, analytics, and alerts that give customers near real-time visibility into the security, reliability, and performance of their Internet properties. We are looking for systems-oriented backend engineers who enjoy solving distributed-systems problems at large scale. You will build primarily in Go, operate the systems you create, and work across the data lifecycle, from high-throughput ingestion and delivery to analytical storage and customer-facing retrieval. Engineers in this role typically develop depth in one of two areas: Analytical database systems: Building and operating our ClickHouse-based analytical platform, improving database performance, reliability, and scalability. Data delivery and retrieval: Building streaming pipelines, public APIs, log delivery integrations, and alerting systems that make customer data accessible and actionable. We are looking for strong backend and systems fundamentals, production operational experience, and demonstrated depth in at least one of these areas. What You’ll Do Design, build, and operate reliable distributed systems that process very large volumes of data. Develop and optimise backend services and data platform components, primarily in Go. Improve data integrity, delivery latency, query performance, availability, and operational efficiency. Build systems that handle failure safely through techniques such as backpressure, retries, idempotency, replication, and graceful degradation. Define service-level objectives, monitor production health, plan capacity, and respond to incidents. Diagnose performance bottlenecks across ingestion, processing, storage, and retrieval. Depending on your area of focus: Build and operate large-scale ClickHouse clusters and contribute improvements to the ClickHouse ecosystem. Develop data delivery pipelines that route data from Cloudflare’s global network to customer destinations. Build and scale GraphQL APIs, log delivery integrations, and near real-time alerting products. Collaborate with product and engineering teams to understand their data needs and design pragmatic solutions. Evaluate technologies and contribute to the next generation of Cloudflare’s data platform. Participate in an on-call rotation for the production systems owned by your team. What We’re Looking For At least three years of professional software engineering experience building backend, infrastructure, database, or distributed-data systems. Strong Go programming skills, or substantial systems programming experience (Rust, C++) with the ability to become productive in Go quickly. Experience building and operating production services, including deployment, monitoring, capacity planning, incident response, and debugging. A solid understanding of distributed-systems concepts, including concurrency, consistency, fault tolerance, partitioning, and data integrity. Experience with high-throughput or low-latency data processing. Hands-on experience with observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana, including monitoring high-cardinality workloads. Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, particularly for complex production problems. Clear communication and an ability to collaborate across engineering and product teams. Demonstrated depth in at least one of the following areas: Database systems: SQL, analytical databases, database internals, query optimisation, performance tuning, or operating large database clusters. Data delivery and retrieval: Streaming systems, event-driven architectures, data pipelines, API development, or customer-facing data integrations. Helpful Experience ClickHouse or another large-scale analytical database. Kafka, Flink, or similar streaming technologies. GraphQL or other high-volume API technologies. Terraform, Salt, or other Infrastructure as Code tooling. Docker, Kubernetes, or Linux container technologies. Contributions to open-source database or distributed-systems projects. If you enjoy building efficient systems, understanding how they behave in production, and solving data problems at global scale, we would like to hear from you.

We ensure that all of the new and existing features and functionality that Cloudflare offers can be managed at scale and meet the needs of our massively growing, global customer base. About the role As a Senior Software Engineer in the Deploy@Scale team, you will provide technical leadership for the platform that powers safe, reliable, and automated deployments across Cloudflare. This is a senior IC role: you will set technical direction across multiple work streams, not just execute within one. You'll be expected to operate with significant autonomy - identifying the right problems to solve, driving architecture decisions that will hold up over multiple years, and influencing how dozens of engineering teams across Cloudflare think about safe change. You will partner directly with your EM and leadership to shape the multi-quarter roadmap, and you'll be a primary technical voice in cross-team design reviews, RFCs, and incident retrospectives that touch deployment safety. You'll spend meaningful time unblocking and elevating the rest of the team: reviewing designs before they become code, pairing on the hardest problems, and raising the technical bar through mentorship - without needing to be a people manager to do it. You'll be defining what the platform is, deciding what not to build, and making the tradeoffs which ensure the system is safe, fast, and scalable five years from now. Where we're heading From human-in-the-loop to machine-in-the-loop: fully automated, health-mediated deployments as the default, at hundreds of thousands of releases a day. Consolidating a fragmented landscape: unifying release orchestration, health mediation, feature flagging, and configuration rollback into one coherent platform. AI as a first-class part of the platform : you'll help define where and how AI assists both the platform and the humans operating it. This is a unique opportunity to work on complex, globally distributed systems that underpin every Cloudflare product. You will play a key role in advancing the infrastructure that enables fast, safe delivery of changes to production, directly impacting the reliability and velocity of Cloudflare's global network. You will collaborate with the team to understand business needs and develop technical solutions, working closely with internal customers to turn their workflows into platform capabilities. You will thrive in a fast-paced iterative engineering environment with short release cycles. This role may require flexibility to be on-call outside of standard working hours to address technical issues as needed. Examples of desirable skills, knowledge, and experience 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, including a track record of owning the architecture of complex, distributed, production-critical systems end to end. Demonstrated technical leadership beyond your own code: driving RFCs and design reviews that other senior engineers and teams rely on, and being sought out as a technical escalation point. Judgment for ambiguity — comfortable defining the problem and the roadmap, not just the solution, in an environment where requirements are not fully specified upfront. Deep experience with safety, observability, and automation in production systems: designing rollback paths, health signals, and guardrails that other systems and teams build on top of. Experience influencing technical direction across team boundaries — through architecture, mentorship, or platform APIs/contracts — without direct authority. Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with AI as a working tool: fluent use of AI-assisted development, critical evaluation of its output, and a point of view on where it should and shouldn't be trusted in a safety-critical system. Experience with workflow orchestration, long-running/durable execution, or large-scale distributed systems is a strong plus. Strong written and verbal communication — this role requires writing docs and RFCs that persuade and align, not just describe. Bonus points Prior experience owning a deployment, progressive delivery, or change-management platform at scale. Experience leading a technical migration across many independent teams (e.g., a platform sunset/replacement). Equity This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.

Available Locations Austin, US Atlanta, GA Denver, CO San Francisco, CA Washington D.C. About the Role Cloudflare runs one of the world's largest networks, and every API call that configures it, from any customer, integration, or internal service, starts by proving who is calling and what they're allowed to do. The IAM team owns the authentication and authorization systems behind that: the identity layer of the Control Plane operating at global scale. Our surface spans things like login and SSO, OAuth and API tokens, account membership, roles and permissions, and SCIM provisioning. We're hiring a hands-on senior engineer to work on correctness-critical, high-throughput, highly resilient services. You'll own surfaces end-to-end, chase down hard problems with high agency, and improve systems while they're serving production traffic. Responsibilities Feature development : design and build high-throughput, low-latency IAM capabilities that power both customer-facing and internal service APIs. System evolution : contribute to the design and evolution of our authentication and authorization systems into modern, distributed, and edge-capable architectures. API and system design : translate product and security requirements into robust, well-structured APIs and technical specifications in collaboration with Product, Security, and UX teams. Engineering excellence : maintain a high bar through thorough code reviews, technical design documents, and collaborative problem-solving. Operational stewardship : own the reliability of the platform under constant load, ensuring observability and resilience are built into every service. AI-assisted development : use AI tools throughout your workflow, from code generation to debugging, and bring the judgment to know when to trust them. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience These are examples of what a strong candidate brings: Professional Experience: 5-8 years building and operating production systems at scale. Identity Domain Knowledge: Working knowledge of identity protocols and models (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, RBAC/ABAC, and session management, etc.). Hands-on experience implementing identity protocols or fine-grained authorization systems, RBAC, ABAC, relationship-based access control, or policy engines (such as Cedar), in production. Language Proficiency: Proficiency in languages like Go and Typescript and comfort working across Cloudflare’s tech stack. API Design: Experience designing and building REST APIs: routing, authentication, request lifecycle, and versioning. Database & Storage: PostgreSQL and Redis experience: schema design, query optimization, caching strategies, and consistency tradeoffs. Distributed Systems: Strong distributed systems intuition: consistency models, event-driven replication, and the implications of global state propagation. High Agency: High standards for correctness and security; curious, self-directed, and comfortable driving ambiguous problems to resolution across team boundaries. Bonus Points Experience with credential and token lifecycle systems: issuance, rotation, scoping, revocation, or service-to-service authentication at scale. Familiarity with the Cloudflare developer platform: Workers, Durable Objects, KV, R2, etc. Experience incrementally re-architecting a large, long-lived codebase under production traffic, and familiarity with containerized deployment (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code (Terraform), and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana).

About Us At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in. Available Locations: Austin, TX | London, UK | Lisbon, Portugal About the Role The CNI team builds and operates the systems that let Cloudflare's enterprise customers connect their networks directly to Cloudflare through private, dedicated interconnects — rather than traversing the public Internet. The product, Cloudflare Network Interconnect (CNI), supports various interconnect types across hundreds of locations worldwide. These systems underpin Magic Transit, Cloudflare WAN, Zero Trust, and application security for some of Cloudflare's largest customers. What You'll Do As a member of the team you will build and extend the systems that provision, monitor, and orchestrate private network interconnects at scale. You will collaborate with Product Management, Network Engineering, and Infrastructure teams on ambitious initiatives to connect enterprise customers directly to Cloudflare's global network. Responsibilities You will participate in all stages of the software development lifecycle: from designing and documenting systems, to writing code and automated tests, to planning, managing, and monitoring production software deployments. You will work with a wide range of technologies and programming languages, including Rust, Go, PostgreSQL, Prometheus, Kubernetes, Linux networking, network operating systems, and BGP routing, among others. Our team at Cloudflare operates under a "Run What You Build" model. This means we are responsible for the health of our systems and actively participate in our team's on-call rotation as part of our operational duties. Because you'll be solving problems of massive scale and significance, you are a growth-oriented individual who enjoys being outside of your comfort zone. You are comfortable in a fast-paced but sensible work environment. You value curiosity and empathy and lead with these values. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience: Systems-level programming experience in Rust, Go, C, or C++. Understanding of IP networking fundamentals: BGP, Layer 3 routing, and how physical and virtual interconnect technologies work (cross-connects, VLANs, overlay tunnels). Experience building, deploying, and debugging distributed systems. Experience participating in an on-call rotation for services with direct customer impact. Willingness to adopt and integrate AI tools and systems into your workflow. Strong collaboration and communication skills. Bonus Points Hands-on experience with BGP configuration, route policy, or peering operations. Experience building provisioning or automation systems for network infrastructure. Familiarity with network inventory and IPAM systems (e.g., NetBox). Experience with cloud provider networking (AWS Direct Connect, GCP Partner Interconnect, Azure ExpressRoute). Knowledge of GRE, VXLAN, or other overlay/tunnel technologies. Experience with Kubernetes-based service deployments and CI/CD pipelines. Experience with telemetry/observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch). Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code completion, codebase analysis, log/data exploration) in a professional setting. Compensation Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location. For Portugal based hires: Estimated annual salary is between €54,000 - €75,000 Equity This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.

We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet. Project Galileo : Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost. Athenian Project : In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states. 1.1.1.1 : We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here’s the deal - we don’t store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers. Sound like something you’d like to be a part of? We’d love to hear from you!
