Senior Software Engineer, Distributed DatabasesActive$185K–$254K

The opportunity

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.

What you'll do

  • 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.
