About Systems Engineer - Compute Platform

  About Us

  At Cloudflare, we have our eyes set on an ambitious goal: to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers approximately 25 million Internet properties, for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. 

  We realize people do not fit into neat boxes. We are looking for curious and empathetic individuals who are committed to developing themselves and learning new skills, and we are ready to help you do that. We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare. Come join us! 

  About the Role

  Cloudflare is building a brand new way of running globally distributed compute for both CPU and GPU workloads, and we need a strong Systems Engineer well-versed in Linux systems and network programming to join this effort. Our edge network spans the world and lets us treat the entire network as a compute resource to build ultra-low latency applications. This is the core of how we ship great new products every year — and this team is taking this way of building, and growing it into a platform of its own with both internal and external use cases.

  This team works on some of the most challenging compute problems at Cloudflare — secure sandboxing of GPU and AI workloads, high throughput network data plane where every millisecond counts, distributed routing control plane.

  Skills & Technologies

  We are looking for engineers with battle-tested experience in Linux systems and network programming. Come help build something new and transformative for the company that nearly 20% of the internet already depends on.

  Here are the technologies and problems we face today

  Machine level virtualization and security with Firecracker, gVisor and QEMU Machine level scheduling and process management with containerd, cgroups, and KVM - memory sharing, CPU throttling, etc Networking and routing in Linux High level of proficiency with Linux is a must Strong familiarity with Golang or the ability to acquire it quickly Experience with eBPF is valuable Experience with Rust (Firecracker & rust-vmm) valuable but not necessary Inner-datacenter scheduling with HashiCorp Nomad If all or most of this sounds interesting to you, and you're ready to build and be challenged with a great team working on new platforms, please apply.

  What Makes Cloudflare Special?

  We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

  Project Galileo: We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost.

  Athenian Project: We created Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration.

  Path Forward Partnership: Since 2016, we have partnered with Path Forward, a nonprofit organization, to create 16-week positions for mid-career professionals who want to get back to the workplace after taking time off to care for a child, parent, or loved one.

  1.1.1.1: We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here’s the deal - we don’t store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
