Description
At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies.
Cloudflare operates one of the world's largest networks, processing millions of requests per second across 300+ cities. Today, customers can localize where their traffic is processed, but their configuration data, logs, and cryptographic keys still live in centralized datacenters. Data Residency Architecture (DRA) closes that gap. It extends data residency from the data plane across every layer of how Cloudflare stores, processes, and protects customer data. Customers get the ability to keep their data where their laws say it should be.
You'll join a small, high-autonomy team within this larger program. Your primary focus is building the customer-facing and internal experience for DRA: how customers create regionalized accounts, how API requests route to regional control planes, how the dashboard adapts to per-account data residency, and how Cloudflare's internal teams provision and manage it all.
Responsibilities
- Regional API Routing: Build per-account API hostname generation and routing so that customer requests terminate in their chosen country, integrating with Cloudflare's Data Localization Suite and edge API gateway.
- Dashboard Integration: Modify the Cloudflare dashboard so that API calls route through regional endpoints while surfacing clear regional indicators to the customer.
- Account Creation & Provisioning: Build the account creation flow that captures country/region selection and integrates with the Control Plane Platform orchestrator to provision per-account regional storage and configuration.
- Internal Tooling: Build admin tooling (provisioning integrations, billing shims, operational dashboards) so that support, sales, and finance teams can manage DRA accounts without violating residency constraints.
- Cross-Team Integration: Work across the DRA program to integrate with regional storage, cryptographic key management, and logging infrastructure built by other teams.
- Migration & Self-Service: Help design the path from manual provisioning (MVP) to dashboard self-service, and eventually tooling that migrates existing enterprise customers into DRA.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience building production systems at scale.
- Proficiency in Go. Our backend services and core platform are written in Go.
- Comfort or willingness to work in TypeScript. Our control plane uses Cloudflare Workers (TypeScript), and the dashboard is a TypeScript application.
- Experience designing and building REST APIs. You understand routing, authentication, request lifecycle, and how frontends consume distributed backends.
- Comfort with distributed systems tradeoffs , data locality, replication, consistency models, and the latency implications of geographically distributed infrastructure.
- Ability to work across team boundaries. DRA spans nearly every engineering organization at Cloudflare.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with data residency, sovereignty, or compliance engineering (GDPR, EU Data Act, EUCS, FedRAMP, or equivalent regulatory frameworks).
- Familiarity with edge computing platforms such as Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, or similar serverless/edge-native runtimes.
- Familiarity with PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, or SQLite in production environments.
