Software Engineer, Enterprise Readiness

Available Locations: Hybrid - Austin
About the Department
Cloudflare's Engineering Team builds and runs the software that handles about 10% of HTTP requests on the Internet today. We also build and run the internal tools that builds and runs our software. The Engineering Team is split into two groups: one handles product development and the other handles operations. Product development covers both new features and functionality and scaling our existing software to meet the challenges of a massively growing customer base. The operations team handles one of the world's largest networks with data centers in 102 cities worldwide.
What you'll do
As a Full Stack Engineer on the team, you will build the foundational services that enable the world's largest organizations to run on Cloudflare. You will be responsible for the APIs, UIs, internal tooling, and admin platforms that help manage complex enterprise logic at scale. More specifically, there will be a heavy focus on scaling and extending our Organizations model - the new abstraction for our largest customers and partners to manage Cloudflare.
While this is a full-stack role, our roadmap is currently weighted toward backend development and systems implementation. You will work closely with senior engineers to implement robust data models, build high-performance services in Go, and ensure our deployments are stable within our Kubernetes ecosystem.
You won't just ship features; you will also own the "operational excellence" of your services. You'll use tools like Jaeger, Sentry, and Kibana to troubleshoot complex distributed traces and ensure our platform remains highly available for our partners and customers.
You will also rapidly expand your domain knowledge and ability to deliver change through AI tooling. Cloudflare is ramping up its support and infrastructure for AI development tools like OpenCode. Which, connected to everything safely possible with MCPs, is enabling engineers to have greater impact, faster than ever.
Core Technologies

• Backend: Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, PHP
• Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka
• Frontend: React, TypeScript
• Observability: Kibana, Elasticsearch, Jaeger, Sentry

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge, and experience

• Professional Backend Experience: 3+ years of experience building and maintaining production applications. You have a solid grasp of at least one typed language (like Go, PHP, Rust, or TypeScript) and are excited to master Go.
• Systems Thinking: Experience working within distributed systems. You understand core concepts like concurrency, data consistency, and how to write code that scales.
• Full Stack Versatility: You are comfortable jumping into a React/TypeScript codebase to build UI components, but you enjoy the challenge of backend logic and API design.
• Agentic AI Development: You are excited about exploring and adopting the rapidly advancing AI tooling in your workflows.
• Data Proficiency: Strong experience with SQL and relational databases. You understand schema design, how to write efficient queries, and the importance of data integrity.
• Observability & Debugging: Experience using logging and monitoring tools (like Kibana, Sentry, or Grafana) to diagnose issues. You believe that "tested and monitored" is the definition of "done."
• Cloud Fundamentals: Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes. You understand how containers work and how to deploy services in a cloud-native environment.
