Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a massively successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers. Cloudflare's edge and network make it possible to solve problems at massive scale and efficiency which would be impossible for almost any other organization.
About the Team
ETI's Storage Infrastructure team is responsible for the core storage layer that underpins many of ETI's stateful services. Our scope ranges from managing the physical hardware to operating the distributed databases and storage systems built upon it. We run this infrastructure globally across Cloudflare's network, which presents unique and complex engineering puzzles. We navigate efficiently expanding storage capacity, optimizing rebuild operations, and coordinating operations across failure domains to uphold durability. While other service teams focus on product development, our mission is to ensure the underlying storage is reliable, performant, and scalable.
You'll be joining a highly motivated team that is building the next generation of distributed storage services.
What You'll Do
In this role, you will help build and operate the next generation of globally distributed storage systems. You will own your code from inception to release, delivering solutions at all layers of the stack. On any given day, you might write a design document for a new provisioning system, model failure domain dependencies across edge locations, benchmark new storage hardware, build standardized observability and runbooks for distributed database clusters, or automate operational toil through purpose-built tooling and intelligent automation. You can expect to interact with a variety of languages and technologies including Rust, Go, Saltstack, and Terraform.
Examples of desirable skills, knowledge, and experience
  • Strong programming skills with languages like Rust, Go, or Python
  • A solid understanding of distributed systems concepts such as consistency, consensus, data replication, fault tolerance, and partition tolerance
  • Experience with distributed databases and storage systems
  • Experience with infrastructure configuration tooling and infrastructure as code
  • Familiarity with storage fundamentals: block devices, filesystems, SSD characteristics
  • Experience building and maintaining high-throughput, low-latency systems
  • Understanding of network fundamentals as they relate to distributed storage -- bandwidth constraints, latency tradeoffs, cross-datacenter replication
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to explain technical decisions clearly
  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced environments with tight deadlines and evolving priorities
Compensation
Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.
  • For New York City, New Jersey, Washington, Washington DC, and California (excluding Bay Area) based hires: Estimated annual salary of $185,000 - $254,000
Equity
This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare's equity plan.
