Responsibilities

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.
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, fast, and scalable.
You'll be joining a highly motivated team that is building the next generation of Cloudflare’s distributed storage services.
Add new features and extensions to the database to meet the needs of R2, Durable Objects, and Workers KV
Hold the bar on correctness through code review, testing, and staged rollout so defects are caught before customer impact
Tune performance and resource utilization across staged rollouts and production
Optimize data placement and replication for our edge topology, and partner with service teams on schema design and query performance
Build the observability and tooling that make the database supportable across its consumers
You can expect to interact with a variety of languages and technologies including Go, Rust, Saltstack, and Terraform.
Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience
Source-code level experience contributing to a distributed database or distributed storage system. Examples include distributed SQL databases (CockroachDB, TiDB / TiKV, YugabyteDB, Spanner), Raft-based or Paxos-based storage systems (etcd, FoundationDB), wide-column stores (Cassandra, ScyllaDB), document databases (MongoDB), or comparable systems
Strong programming skills in Go, Rust, C++, or another systems language, with a willingness to be productive in Go for this role
