  • Design, deliver, and operate software and platforms to improve Cloudflare's observability capabilities.
  • Resolve scaling bottlenecks within the critical metrics and alerting pipelines.
  • Develop and maintain highly distributed and scalable systems for internal engineering teams.
  • Manage the infrastructure for metrics, alerting, error tracking, logging, and tracing.
  • Research and integrate cutting-edge technologies into the existing observability stack.
  • Participate in a global on-call rotation to support owned services 24/7/365.
  • Contribute to open-source projects and share technical knowledge with the broader team.

What we're looking for

  • Software Engineering background and proficiency in high-level programming languages like Go.
  • Proficiency in data structures and databases such as TSDBs or columnar stores.
  • Proficiency in distributed Linux environments.
  • Proficiency in designing high-scale distributed systems.
  • Proficiency in Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Thanos.
  • Familiarity with Internetworking, networking protocols (Layer 2-7 of the OSI model), and BGP.
  • Experience working in a fast, high-growth environment and a 24/7/365 service environment.
  • Authorization to receive software or technology controlled under U.S. export control laws.
