As a Software Engineer on the Traffic team, you'll develop systems to improve traffic management and network reliability, participating in the full software development lifecycle.
Role Summary
The mission of the Traffic team is to build software systems that improve the performance and reliability of Cloudflare's network. The scope of our work is significant and has a broad impact across our portfolio of products.
One such system is a control plane service that ingests a diverse set of data in order to load-balance customer traffic through directly instructing our network infrastructure.
Role Responsibilities
As a member of the Traffic team you will build and extend various traffic management and supporting systems. You will work closely with Network Engineering, Product Engineering, Network Strategy, and other teams to translate their requirements into new capabilities on our platform.
You will participate in all stages of the software development lifecycle: from designing and documenting systems, to writing code and automated tests, to planning, managing, and monitoring production software deployments. You will work with a wide range of technologies and programming languages, including Go, Python, Rust, ClickHouse, Salt, PostgreSQL, Grafana, Kubernetes, NETCONF, and more.
Our team at Cloudflare operates under a "Run What You Build" model. This means we are responsible for the health of our systems and actively participate in our team's on-call rotation as part of our operational duties.
Because you'll be solving problems of massive scale and significance, and shaping the future of reliability and performance on the Internet, you are a growth-oriented individual who enjoys being outside of your comfort zone. You are comfortable in a fast-paced but sensible work environment. You value curiosity and empathy and lead with these values.
