Senior Software Engineer, R2 MetadataActive
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
Design and implement features in a metadata system, backed by a distributed: SQL DB, that serves every R2 API operation, ensuring correctness, performance, and compatibility with the S3 API surface.
Build and operate production services on Cloudflare Workers and Kubernetes: that handle high throughput metadata operations with strong consistency and durability guarantees.
Own the schema, data model, and query patterns for a metadata layer managing: billions of objects across multiple distributed database clusters.
Own projects end to end; from design docs and schema changes through: implementation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring.
Participate in oncall rotations, drive incident resolution, and write postmortems that improve reliability.
Use AI tools extensively to accelerate development, debugging, and: operational tasks. We expect engineers to leverage AI as a core part of their workflow.
What they're looking for
- Collaborate across teams (storage infrastructure, networking, other platform: teams) to coordinate capacity planning, API contracts, and cross cutting initiatives.
