Distributed Systems Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE We are on a mission to help build a better Internet at Cloudflare, and we're looking for a talented Distributed Systems Engineer to join our Data Localization team. As a Distributed Systems Engineer, you will be building the infrastructure that enforces where customer data is stored, processed, and decrypted across one of the world's largest globally distributed edge networks. WHAT YOU'LL DO You will work across the full stack in Go and Rust, designing, implementing, and rolling out systems that meet the requirements of our customers operating under regulatory scrutiny. You will be responsible for building systems with provable geographic boundaries that hold under failure, at the scale and reliability our customers depend on. This includes working on low-level policy enforcement and cryptographic key routing at the edge, as well as customer-facing APIs and dashboards, on top of our existing infrastructure. WHAT YOU'LL NEED To be successful in this role, you will need to have 3+ years of professional experience designing, building, and operating production distributed systems at scale. You should have a 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. You should also have a solid grasp of distributed systems fundamentals, including consistency and consensus models, replication, sharding, and partitioning strategies, and failure modes. WHY REMOTE As a remote employee, you will have the flexibility to work from anywhere in the world while still being part of a dynamic and innovative team. You will be able to collaborate effectively across time zones and work on challenging problems that require creativity and problem-solving skills. BENEFITS At Cloudflare, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including a comprehensive health plan, parental leave, education stipend, and life insurance. We also offer flexible scheduling and a generous equipment stipend to support your work from home needs.
