Job Description

Cloudflare is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join their Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) team, where new and bold products are built and released. This role offers an exciting opportunity to shape the future of industry-leading services that redefine what's possible for developers.

As a Senior Engineer focused on Cloudflare's storage and database products, you'll be working at the intersection of innovation and scale. The position leverages Cloudflare's unique global network to solve problems at massive scale and efficiency. You'll be responsible for architecting new globally distributed data consistency models, optimizing storage engine performance, and designing novel APIs for data-centric products.

The role requires expertise in distributed systems, with a minimum of 6 years of experience. You'll be working with modern technologies including JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, and C++. The position offers competitive compensation ranging from $168,000 to $240,000, depending on location, plus equity participation.

Cloudflare runs one of the world's largest networks, powering millions of websites and protecting them from cyber threats. The company is known for innovative projects like Project Galileo, which protects journalism and civil society organizations, and the privacy-focused 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver.

The position offers comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance, mental health support, 401(k), equity, flexible PTO, and family-friendly policies. You'll be joining a company that values diversity, innovation, and making the internet better for everyone.

Working in a hybrid environment, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with talented teams across multiple locations including Austin, Seattle, and London. The role combines technical challenges with meaningful impact, as your work will directly contribute to Cloudflare's mission of helping build a better Internet.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior engineer who wants to work on cutting-edge distributed systems, enjoys solving complex technical challenges, and wants to make a significant impact on internet infrastructure used by millions of users worldwide.
