Join the NetOS team at Cloudflare, contributing to network software infrastructure, managing SONiC, and supporting network systems with a focus on security and software development.
Available Locations: Bengaluru
About the Role (or What you'll do)
As a member of the Network Operating System (NetOS) team you will be a key technical contributor to a cutting-edge network software infrastructure which is used to drive layer2 and layer3 devices on Cloudflare's network. The NetOS team is responsible for enabling, supporting, and growing SONiC within our Production Network.
You will participate in all stages of the development lifecycle, from designing and documenting systems, to writing code and automated tests, to planning, building, managing, and monitoring production deployments. Take ownership of code pieces and features, deep involvement in the system architecture in which the features are implemented.
Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Observability, System Debuggability Tooling, and System Health Checks are fundamental to our approach to building a healthy and stable product.
In this role you will work with a wide range of technologies and programming languages, including Go, Python, C++, Prometheus exporters, Redis, gNMI framework, and more. Helping to build, improve, and maintain a robust management interface/framework that operators will automate against. Also provide technical support to Network Engineers, directly in debugging and resolving network operating system issues.
In addition to helping to maintain our Go based telemetry and management interface infrastructure, this role will help maintain the best security practices across the Network Organization. All aspects of security within the Networking field; from hardware to software to vulnerability analysis and remediation. Including NOS hardening and anomaly detection. We are looking for a security focused SRE/Engineer, with Go development skills.
Because you'll be solving problems of massive scale and significance, you are a growth-oriented individual who enjoys being outside your comfort zone. You are comfortable in a fast-paced but sensible work environment. You value curiosity and empathy and lead with these values.
Also, you will help build, integrate, maintain, and upstream, new SONiC features and bug fixes. Create and improve documentation, specifications, and SONiC high level design documents (HLD). In addition, work with hardware vendors and internal teams to integrate new platforms into SONiC.

What you need to know about the Chennai Tech Scene
To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
