CloudFlare
Infrastructure Tooling Software Engineer
Hybrid
About Us At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.
We realize people do not fit into neat boxes. We are looking for curious and empathetic individuals who are committed to developing themselves and learning new skills, and we are ready to help you do that. We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare. Come join us!
About the department Cloudflare’s Resiliency Engineering Team builds and runs the systems and software that support our solutions that handle trillions of requests per month. Resiliency Engineering ensures all of the new and existing features and functionality that Cloudflare offers can be managed at scale and meet the needs of our massively growing customer base.
The Infrastructure Tooling Team within the Resiliency Engineering organization is responsible for defining, building and supporting the tools that can be leveraged by the rest of the Infrastructure Engineering team to manage our infrastructure at scale.
What you’ll do In this role you’ll have an opportunity to work on our internal infra-control plan application “Zinc.” On the Zinc team, you’ll be building a critical component of the overall Cloudflare stack. Zinc is a Rust‑based application that is used to manage our global fleet of servers and network devices. Zinc must be high performance, highly available, and have few shared dependencies since nearly everything else has a dependency on Zinc.
If you like thinking about optimizing and scaling globally distributed systems, this may be the team for you! Read more about Zinc in the Cloudflare blog.
Because you’ll be solving problems of great significance and shaping the future of the Internet, you are a growth‑oriented individual who enjoys being outside of your comfort zone in a fast‑paced environment.
Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience As an ideal candidate for this position, you are curious, hard‑working, and passionate.
Working in an infrastructure composed of emergent, planned, and adapted services.
Programming experience in Rust, Go, Python or similar language. You are either an expert in Rust or are willing to become one.
Experience (and love) for debugging to ensure the system works in all cases.
Experience with Distributed Systems at scale is a plus.
Designing and building APIs, CLIs, and web applications which are used constantly by critical infrastructure teams.
Great oral and written communications skills.
Strong desire to learn and improve.
Ready to participate in on‑call rotations.
CS degree or equivalent experience.
Passion for solving unique problems and learning to understand complex systems.
Compensation Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.
For New York City, Washington, Washington D.C. and California (excluding Bay Area) based hires: Estimated annual salary of $154,000 – $188,000.
Equity This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.
