At Cloudflare, we're on a mission to help build a better Internet. The company runs one of the world's largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties. We're looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to focus on Cloudflare's core storage and streaming products, designing and implementing foundational layers of next-generation data services.

As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will own your code from inception to release, delivering solutions at all layers of the software stack to empower Cloudflare customers. Your day-to-day tasks might include architecting a new globally distributed data consistency model, optimizing storage engine performance, or designing a novel API for a new data-centric product.

- Minimum 6+ years of experience designing, building, and deploying large-scale distributed systems or storage engines from scratch.

- Direct experience writing core components of a storage or streaming system.

- Proven track record of debugging, profiling, and fixing complex race conditions, split-brain scenarios, and network partition failures at the infrastructure layer.

- Deep, expert-level proficiency in Rust or C++ applied to systems programming.

Bonus Points:

- Experience building time-series databases, log-structured merge-trees, or real-time stream processing engines from the ground up.
