Responsibilities
We are looking for talented Software Engineers to join our small but growing team. You will work on a range of microservices written mainly in Go. You’ll be designing and developing new APIs and data models to manage our rapidly expanding addressing needs.

You will spend time learning the inner workings of our edge routers, servers, DNS and IP provisioning pipelines. You will work closely with other engineers to understand their needs and create scalable platforms to be used across the company.
Some of the technologies we use include Go, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kafka, Lua, Clickhouse, SaltStack, Prometheus and the usual Unix/Linux tools and workflows. We strive to build reliable, fault-tolerant systems that can operate at Cloudflare’s scale.
