Available Locations Atlanta, US Austin, US Denver, US Seattle, US Washington DC, US Applications will be accepted until October 28, 2026. About the Role This is a hands-on software engineering role on the Cloudflare One Appliance team. You will shape and build the Linux-based edge runtime and distributed control plane that connect customer sites to Cloudflare. As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will work across low-level systems, distributed services, and API design while providing technical leadership for major initiatives. Our architecture follows a “light branch, heavy cloud” philosophy: policy and intelligence belong in Cloudflare’s network unless locality is required for correctness, survivability, performance, or user experience. You will use strong technical judgment to decide what belongs to the appliance and what belongs in the Cloudflare's network, building systems that are secure, observable, resilient to partial failures, and safe to operate across a large fleet carrying customer-critical traffic. Responsibilities Build systems end to end: Design and implement capabilities spanning the cloud control plane, Linux appliance runtime, telemetry pipeline, and physical, virtual, and cloud deployment environments. Build a Linux-based networking platform: Develop and harden the appliance dataplane. Build secure, reliable networking capabilities using technologies such as IPsec, MASQUE, eBPF, and Linux kernel networking primitives while keeping the system small, predictable, and secure. Engineer reliable fleet control: Build distributed control-plane and state-management systems that safely deliver configuration and commands, tolerate intermittent connectivity and partial failures, converge to known-good state, and support zero-touch operation across large device fleets. Secure the device lifecycle: Improve hardware-backed identity, attestation, secure boot, immutable operating-system images, credential rotation, and staged over-the-air upgrades with safe rollback and recovery. Make operability a product feature: Design telemetry, diagnostics, synthetic tests, support bundles, and remote operations that help customers and support teams understand the system without treating the appliance as a black box. Drive customer-centered product decisions: Work with customers, Product, Support, and Solutions Engineering to understand customer requirements and turn them into pragmatic technical direction. Bring clear opinions, and revise them when customer feedback or production evidence points to a better answer. Own production outcomes: Prototype quickly, ship in safe increments, and own rollout, monitoring, incident follow-up, and long-term maintainability. Lead across teams: Set architectural direction for major initiatives, write clear technical proposals, conduct rigorous reviews, and mentor other engineers. Build executable plans with Cloudflare WAN, Gateway, DEX, the Cloudflare One Client, and platform and security teams. Role Requirements Must-Have Skills 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building complex production systems. Strong software engineering skills in Rust, C/C++, Go, or a comparable system programming language, with the ability to work across the stack, including TypeScript. Strong understanding of Linux networking internals, with experience building against the kernel networking stack using eBPF/XDP, netlink, and network namespaces. Experience designing and implementing distributed control planes, desired-state reconciliation, remote configuration, or similar systems that manage large, intermittently connected fleets. Experience designing secure systems, including threat modeling, least privilege, credential handling, and software supply-chain integrity. A track record of owning ambiguous initiatives from discovery through production, including architecture, implementation, staged deployment, incident response, and failure analysis. Technical leadership and communication skills that let you influence decisions, explain system trade-offs to different audiences, and bring stakeholders toward a clear outcome. Product judgment grounded in customer evidence, usability, and operational simplicity. Practical experience using AI-assisted engineering tools, coding agents, harnesses, or automation responsibly to improve engineering quality and throughput. Nice-to-Have Skills Experience building networking products or systems, such as SD-WAN, SASE, SDN platforms, or network operating systems. Experience building custom or embedded Linux distributions with immutable, image-based update systems such as RAUC, bootc, or OSTree. Experience with UEFI Secure Boot, TPMs, hardware-backed identity, or remote attestation. Experience building networking features such as high-availability failover, dynamic routing, multi-WAN, traffic steering or shaping, application identification, or local policy enforcement. Experience building automated fleet tests, hardware-in-the-loop or network-in-the-loop test environments, safe staged rollouts, and remote diagnostic tooling.

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 or London, UK (Hybrid) About the role You'll design and build the core infrastructure that powers AI inference across Cloudflare's global network — real-time voice, frontier open LLMs, and customer-deployed models running on a heterogeneous fleet of GPUs and next-generation accelerators in hundreds of cities worldwide. Working alongside AI/ML engineers, hardware partners, and Cloudflare product teams, you'll solve hard problems in distributed systems and high-performance computing: sub-second model cold starts, multi-accelerator workload scheduling, efficient KV cache management, and a model deployment platform serving both Cloudflare and customers bringing their own models. We're building an AI inference platform embedded in the fabric of the internet — something that doesn't exist yet — and this role puts you at the center of it. We're looking for high-agency systems engineers who are energized by foundational infrastructure problems and want to define how AI runs at the edge of the network. Responsibilities Platform Architecture: Develop and maintain core components of the serverless inference platform to ensure high availability and scalability for Cloudflare users. Optimization & Performance: Optimize the model scheduling system to significantly increase efficiency and resource utilization across our inference infrastructure, and implement improvements to request routing logic to reduce latency for end-users. System Reliability: Drive significant, measurable improvements in the platform's reliability and resilience by identifying and mitigating systemic risks. Observability: Expand and refine the observability stack (metrics, logging, tracing) and fine-tune alerts to proactively identify and resolve production issues. Technical Leadership: Lead complex, cross-functional technical projects from initial concept and design through final deployment and operationalization. Mentorship: Act as a mentor to junior engineers and actively contribute to cultivating a strong, collaborative engineering culture within the team. Desirable skills, Knowledge & Experience Proven experience in systems engineering, with a primary focus on distributed, high-performance systems. Expert proficiency in Rust programming, particularly in an asynchronous environment. Deep understanding and hands-on experience with relevant networking and application protocols (e.g., TCP, HTTP, WebSocket). Solid experience with scaling and performance optimization techniques, including load balancing and caching in a distributed environment. Bonus Points Demonstrable experience with container orchestration platforms, specifically Kubernetes and/or Nomad . Familiarity with the unique architectural challenges involved in large-scale inference serving (e.g., LLMs and diffusion models). What Makes Cloudflare Special? 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?
