CloudFlare
Software Engineer - Kubernetes
CloudFlare, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Many of Cloudflare’s critical internal services run on Kubernetes. These services include those responsible for Cloudflare’s control plane and APIs, data analytics and other internal tools used to manage our global network. These Kubernetes platforms are purpose-built from the ground up and run on bare metal Linux in different regions around the world. The scale we work at involves tens of thousands of containers and terabits per second of network traffic. The team takes pride in knowing this platform helps run parts of the global Internet.
As an engineer on the Kubernetes platform team, you'll be building the tools to help engineers deploy and operate the services that make Cloudflare work. Our mission is to provide a reliable, yet flexible, platform to help product teams release new software efficiently and safely. The role includes both software engineering and DevOps operational responsibilities.
What You'll Do
Improve Kubernetes, Ceph and Prometheus automation, configuration management and other tooling
Design scalable and resilient systems that can keep up with company growth
Improve the efficiency of managing resources such as CPU, bandwidth and storage
Harden the platform against security threats and resource contention issues
Improve our GitOps systems and practices
Work with app teams to understand their potential challenges and help them choose the best way to architect their systems on Kubernetes
Contribute back to the open source community
Help respond and prevent incidents impacting core platforms
What You'll Need
Experience managing production Kubernetes or similar orchestration platforms
Recent experience with configuration management frameworks such as SaltStack or Ansible
Knowledge of how container runtimes work inside of Linux (isolation, storage, and networking)
Ability to work with codebases in Bash, TypeScript and Go
A firm grasp of IP networking including routing and iptables
Excellent debugging skills in a Linux environment
Source control experience including branching, merging and rebasing
The ability to break down complex problems into smaller pieces, provide options, talk through trade-offs and drive the effort to solve the problem
Bonus Points
Experience operating Kubernetes on-premise at scale in capacities including SRE, systems design or architecture
Providing guidance and building platforms across multiple zones and regions as foundation for other teams to build distributed highly-available applications
Operational experience with Etcd, Prometheus, Ceph, Rook, SaltStack, Vault, Calico, other common CNIs like Cilium
