Cloudflare • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Cloudflare is looking for a Systems Engineer to help us build services with RESTful APIs and their own datastores using Go and other languages. You will also write and maintain functional specifications for your service, so others know how it works. In this role you will integrate multiple services via message queue systems and evaluate 3rd party and open source tools. You will design and implement alerts, write procedures for ops to handle such alerts, or serve as an escalation point for unresolved operational issues. You will also need to read and understand code from a legacy codebase to migrate logic to a modern services architecture and review the code of fellow engineers via pull requests. We strive to build reliable, fault-tolerant systems that can operate at Cloudflare’s scale.
