About the Team
Cloudflare is redefining the way networks are run at scale. Our Network Services product suite puts the connectivity, scale, and performance of Cloudflare's global network in front of customers' network infrastructure and private networks. We're looking for curious, empathetic engineers who are excited to join us in changing the way networking is done!
The Cloudflare Network Interconnect (CNI) team works with Rust, Linux, and cloud technologies to build and manage servers and high speed networking switches at Cloudflare locations, supporting our public CNI product. We are looking for engineers who are equally as interested in building their own Linux-based operating systems as they are in building user-friendly HTTP APIs, and equally as interested in high speed networking as they are in writing good Rust code.
About the Role
As a software engineer on the CNI team, you will be a key technical contributor to the control and data planes of custom network infrastructure, operating systems, and APIs supporting our product. You will enable customers of Magic Transit, Magic WAN, and other Cloudflare products to connect with Cloudflare over private and high speed data center interconnects.
You will build software on top of one of the largest edge networks in the world, and partner with some of the best engineers and product managers to build robust, automated systems driving hundreds of gigs of customer traffic.
Desired skills, knowledge, and experience
Bonus Points
Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.
This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare's equity plan.
Benefits
Cloudflare offers a complete package of benefits and programs to support you and your family. Our benefits programs can help you pay health care expenses, support caregiving, build capital for the future and make life a little easier and fun!
