Description
At Cloudflare, we're on a mission to help build a better Internet. We're looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to join our Go-To-Market Data Team. You'll own the GTM-facing software and data products our sales motion runs on, end to end. This includes the data foundation underneath it and the signals that flag which accounts a rep should act on and when.
You'll lead our hardest cross-functional projects, drive them to delivery, and keep partner teams on track. Your day-to-day will involve improving how we visualize pipeline, building sales tools that flag the right moment to reach out to a customer, and making the developer buying journey smoother.
The work is a mix of data engineering, full-stack product, and applied AI, and you'll build it on Cloudflare's own developer platform.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement features in Golang, Typescript, and SQL.
- Build and operate production services on Cloudflare Workers and Kubernetes.
- Own the data foundation including Query Engine, Workflows, MCP/APIs, and other internal-facing products and services.
- Own projects end to end; from design docs and schema changes through implementation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring.
- Participate in on-call rotations, drive incident resolution, and write postmortems that improve reliability.
- Use AI tools extensively to accelerate development, debugging, and operational tasks.
- Collaborate across teams to coordinate capacity planning, API contracts, and cross-cutting initiatives.
- Embed with Sales, Marketing, Developer Relations, and Growth to turn fuzzy operational pain into shipped software.
- Help set the standard for GTM engineering organization-wide.
Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience:
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with a demonstrated history of leading complex, organization-wide data initiatives.
- Deep expertise in building distributed systems and production infrastructure at scale, with proficiency in Go and strong working knowledge of TypeScript.
- Exceptional ability to navigate ambiguous problem spaces, identify the highest-impact technical work, and drive projects autonomously from conception through adoption.
- Deep analytical SQL and data modeling experience.
- Proven ability to manage complexity even at thousands of tables.
- Able to debug database and query performance issues using profiling tools and source code where applicable.
Nice to have:
- Previous experience as a Principal Engineer, Staff+ engineer, or technical leader on platform, infrastructure, or task force teams that operate outside traditional product roadmaps with a focus on enabling GTM organizations.
- Columnar/OLAP or lakehouse experience (ClickHouse, DuckDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Iceberg, Starrocks).
- Familiarity with the Salesforce data model and CRM/API integrations.
- Familiarity with deploying to bare metal and Kubernetes.
- Experience on Cloudflare Workers / edge platforms and analytics-engineering (dbt) workflows.
- Background in SaaS or product-led growth (PLG) GTM motions.
