About the department
Cloudflare's Engineering Team builds and runs the software that handles large volume of HTTP requests on the Internet today. We also build and run the internal tools that builds and runs our software. The Engineering Team is split into two groups: one handles product development and the other handles operations. Product development covers both new features and functionality and scaling our existing software to meet the challenges of a massively growing customer base. The operations team handles one of the world's largest networks with data centers in 102 cities worldwide.
What you'll do
Cloudflare is looking for a full stack software engineer on our control plane product platform to help us build and maintain the codebase that powers both our customer APIs as well as internal service APIs. This is a role for engineers that are familiar with standard backend architecture, and capable in database design and interaction. Our API platform is under constant load and scrutiny, so experience and commitment to easily understood and test code is also a key part of the role. Your ability to visualize the flow of data through a complex application is critical to your success, and to the team's. You will be working closely with the product team to understand and document the functional needs of their product requirements, developing new code to solve new problems, as well as maintaining existing code to squash bugs. Our tech stack includes services built using Go, Redis, Postgres, and Cloudflare products (e.g. Workers). We are looking for proficiency in RESTful API design, relational databases (SQL), and modern containerized deployment practices.
This role may require flexibility to be on-call outside of standard working hours to address technical issues as needed.
