Senior Software Engineer, Deploy at ScaleNew
The opportunity
This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.
What you'll do
From human-in-the-loop to machine-in-the-loop: fully automated, health-mediated deployments as the default, at hundreds of thousands of releases a day.
Consolidating a fragmented landscape: unifying release orchestration, health mediation, feature flagging, and configuration rollback into one coherent platform.
AI as a first-class part of the platform: you'll help define where and how AI assists both the platform and the humans operating it.
+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, including a track record: of owning the architecture of complex, distributed, production-critical systems end to end.
Demonstrated technical leadership beyond your own code: driving RFCs and design reviews that other senior engineers and teams rely on, and being sought out as a technical escalation point.
Judgment for ambiguity: comfortable defining the problem and the roadmap, not just the solution, in an environment where requirements are not fully specified upfront.
What they're looking for
- Deep experience with safety, observability, and automation in production: systems: designing rollback paths, health signals, and guardrails that other systems and teams build on top of.
- Experience influencing technical direction across team boundaries: through architecture, mentorship, or platform APIs/contracts — without direct authority.
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with AI as a working tool: fluent use of AI-assisted development, critical evaluation of its output, and a point of view on where it should and shouldn't be trusted in a safety-critical system.
- Experience with workflow orchestration, long-running/durable execution, or: large-scale distributed systems is a strong plus.
