The R2 Gateway team owns the request-facing layer of R2 — the S3-compatible API gateway that every object put, get, list, and delete flows through. When a customer or application talks to R2, they talk to the systems we build and operate. R2 is growing rapidly, and the gateway must evolve to keep pace. The team is responsible for the API surface that handles authentication, request routing, rate limiting, and coordination between clients and R2's storage and metadata layers — all while maintaining strict compatibility with the S3 API and delivering low-latency, highly available access at global scale. You'll be joining a team that operates at the intersection of large-scale distributed systems, storage infrastructure, and edge computing — building request-path systems that need to be correct, fast, and reliable on every single call. Responsibilities Design, implement, and operate the S3-compatible API gateway that serves every R2 operation, ensuring correctness, low latency, and compatibility with the S3 API surface. Build and operate production services on Cloudflare Workers and Kubernetes that handle high-throughput request traffic with strong availability and durability guarantees. Own the request path end to end — authentication, authorization, routing, rate limiting, and error handling — and the interfaces between the gateway and R2's storage and metadata layers. Own projects end to end: from design docs through implementation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring. Continuously improve the reliability, performance, and observability of the gateway; ramp quickly into unfamiliar and legacy code paths and reduce operational toil. Participate in on-call rotations, drive incident resolution, and write postmortems that raise reliability standards. Use AI tools extensively to accelerate development, debugging, and operational tasks. We expect engineers to leverage AI as a core part of their workflow. Collaborate across teams (storage infrastructure, metadata, networking, other platform teams) to coordinate API contracts, capacity planning, and cross-cutting initiatives. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience Strong programming skills in Rust, TypeScript, Go, or similar languages. 5+ years of experience building or operating large-scale distributed systems on the request path, with strong latency and reliability requirements. Familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts such as object storage, HTTP/API gateways, edge computing, or service-oriented architectures. Experience designing and operating high-throughput APIs — authentication, routing, rate limiting, and backward-compatible API evolution. Understanding of reliability and observability practices: monitoring, alerting, performance tuning, and incident response. Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain technical decisions clearly and coordinate across teams. Comfortable working with AI coding tools as part of a daily development workflow. Experience with the S3 API surface, or with Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, or edge computing platforms, is a strong plus. What Makes Cloudflare Special?

In this role, you will partner closely with engineering leaders, architects, developers, security teams, and executives to define architectures, validate technical approaches, and confidently transition production workloads onto Cloudflare. Rather than focusing on a single account, you will operate across a dynamic portfolio of engagements, ensuring broad impact. A central part of your role involves translating your field experience into reusable organizational knowledge. You will create architectural frameworks, provide technical guidance, and champion the needs of regional customers directly to our product teams. This is a senior, individual-contributor role that beautifully balances hands-on architecture, executive collaboration, and regional technical leadership. You will report directly to the Director of Developer GTM, APJC. What You’ll Do Shape Strategy: Guide the technical strategy for Developer Platform customers and partners across the region. Design & Translate: Transform business, application, security, and operational requirements into secure, scalable, and highly maintainable architectures on Cloudflare.

Facilitate Discovery: Lead architecture discovery sessions, technical workshops, proofs of concept, design reviews, and production-readiness discussions in a supportive, consultative manner. Create Frameworks: Establish reference architectures, architectural standards, and governance patterns that empower our customers and the broader APJC field organization. Stay Hands-On: Build, review, and troubleshoot representative applications and integrations. Champion the Region: Serve as a Developer Platform technical leader through presentations, written guidance, and internal enablement. Mentor & Grow: Support and mentor fellow solutions architects and technical colleagues navigating complex customer engagements. Bridge Teams: Build effective, continuous feedback loops between customers, field teams, and product leaders, translating regional needs into actionable product and go-to-market recommendations. What Success Looks Like By the end of your first year, you will have: Become a trusted technical advisor and collaborative partner to customers, partners, and internal leaders. Established clear, actionable technical strategies and adoption plans for priority engagements. Helped customers successfully validate and launch their production workloads on Cloudflare. Published reusable reference architectures and field guidance that elevate the entire team. Improved the field organization’s ability to position, architect, and deliver Cloudflare’s developer and AI solutions. Cultivated the technical leadership of your colleagues through active mentorship and enablement. Provided product teams with consistent, evidence-based insights into regional customer requirements and adoption barriers. Become recognized as a supportive, authoritative Developer Platform leader across APJC. What We’re Looking For Meaningful Experience: A strong background in solutions architecture, software engineering, technical consulting, or a related customer-facing technical role. While candidates often bring 10+ years of experience, we care most about your demonstrated scope, impact, and ability to deliver results. Language Skills: Professional fluency in English and a major language spoken in India, with the ability to comfortably lead technical and executive discussions in both languages, to support clients in that region. A significant portion of your portfolio will consist of clients based in India. Strategic Collaboration: A track record of owning complex technical strategies involving developers, infrastructure teams, security stakeholders, and senior executives. Technical Depth: Deep working knowledge of distributed application architecture (compute, storage, networking, security, reliability, and observability). Hands-On Capability: Software-development experience, including the ability to build or review production-quality applications and proofs of concept (preferably in JavaScript or TypeScript). Ecosystem Knowledge: A strong understanding of modern web technologies, serverless/cloud-native architectures, modern software-delivery practices, and at least one major public cloud platform. Influential Leadership: A proven ability to influence without direct authority, thoughtfully mentor colleagues, and turn individual solutions into shared organizational capabilities. Communication: Excellent written, presentation, and facilitation skills tailored for developer, architectural, and executive audiences. Travel: Ability to travel up to 30%, primarily within APJC, including India (supported by flexible planning). Nice-to-Have (Bonus Skills) Experience building and operating production applications on Cloudflare’s Developer Platform. Experience designing AI inference, agentic, retrieval-augmented generation, or data-intensive applications. Familiarity with customers, technology partners, or developer communities in India. A background in public speaking, technical writing, open-source contribution, or community building. Relevant cloud or architecture certifications. A degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, OR equivalent practical experience.

Available Locations: Bengaluru, India About the role We are looking for a talented Distributed Systems Engineer to join the Data Localization team. The team builds the infrastructure that enforces where customer data is stored, processed, and decrypted across one of the largest globally distributed edge networks in the world. The problem is not simply building fast, resilient distributed systems; it is building them with provable geographic boundaries that hold under failure, at the scale and reliability Cloudflare's customers depend on. You will work across the full stack in Go and Rust, from low-level policy enforcement and cryptographic key routing at the edge to customer-facing APIs and dashboards, on top of Cloudflare's existing infrastructure: the edge fleet, globally distributed key-value storage, Workers and Durable Objects, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, and regional ClickHouse. Features ship end-to-end: you will own the design, implementation, rollout, and production operation of the systems you build. This is a good fit if you are drawn to problems where compliance correctness is a hard constraint and not just a quality goal, and where the failure modes you reason about have real consequences for customers operating under regulatory scrutiny.

Responsibilities (Must-Have Skills) 8+ years of professional experience designing, building, and operating production distributed systems at scale. Strong proficiency in at least one system or backend language such as Go, Rust, or C/C++, and a willingness to work in others as the codebase demands. Solid grasp of distributed systems fundamentals, including: Consistency and consensus models (strong, sequential, eventual; Paxos / Raft at a conceptual level). Replication, sharding, and partitioning strategies, and their tradeoffs against availability and latency. Failure modes: partial failure, network partitions, split brain, clock skew, and how these show up in real systems. Idempotency, retries, backpressure, timeouts, circuit breakers, and rate limiting as first-class design concerns. Health checking, failure detection, leader election, and graceful degradation. Observability: metrics, logs, and tracing as design inputs, not afterthoughts. Practical experience with API design (REST or gRPC), relational databases, and asynchronous messaging or event streaming systems, with a clear understanding of transactional and consistency boundaries. Comfortable with AI-assisted development tooling, with the judgment to use it to accelerate work while remaining accountable for correctness, security, and design quality Track record of production ownership: on-call, incident response, post-mortems, and continuous investment in reliability and performance. Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to write clear design documents and collaborate effectively across time zones. Nice-to-Have Skills Experience building compliance-driven, security-sensitive, or multi-region systems. Familiarity with cryptography basics — envelope encryption, key management, HSMs, or PKI. Exposure to edge, CDN, or L4/L7 proxy platforms, or to large-scale globally distributed storage or key-value systems. Experience contributing to or driving multi-team, multi-quarter engineering programs with cross-functional dependencies across platform, security, and product teams. What Makes Cloudflare Special?
