CloudFlare
Software Engineer - WAN Connector
CloudFlare, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
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. Our team works with Rust, Go, Linux, and cloud technologies to simultaneously build complex on-prem clients and distributed cloud backends. We are looking for engineers who are just as interested in building their own Linux-based OS as they are in cloud architecture, and just as interested in Rust as they are in Go.
Magic WAN Connector
The Magic WAN Connector is a lightweight network appliance providing zero touch connectivity to the Cloudflare network, extending the power of the Cloudflare global network to customer locations, and providing local network access to Cloudflare’s cloud-native networking services at the Edge. Connectors are deployed worldwide to customer locations and are managed via a cloud backend.
About the role
We’re looking for curious and empathetic engineers who are excited to join us in changing the way networking is done. Some of the things our team works on include:
A lightweight linux distro with custom networking software written in Rust, deployed via physical devices and virtual machines
A distributed cloud backend using Go, Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL
Debugging packet flows and IPsec tunnels that span the globally distributed Cloudflare network and globally distributed customer networks, often involving debugging of Linux kernel networking primitives – netfilter, nftables, eBPF, tc, network namespaces, etc
Release/Deployment systems for applications across Cloudflare and on-prem locations
Partnering with some of the best engineers and product managers to solve big problems
Desired skills, knowledge, and experience
Rust
and/or
Go
programming
Broad
networking
expertise across
L2-L7
networking flows and protocols
Experience designing and integrating
RESTful APIs
and backend systems
Experience building on top of Linux kernel networking primitives –
netfilter, nftables, eBPF, tc, network namespaces , etc
Experience building and shipping
highly distributed systems with best SRE practices
Excellent
debugging
and optimization skills
Able to
work across teams
and level common, sustainable solutions
Focus on clarity in written and verbal communication
