The Software Engineer will develop and troubleshoot observability tools for Cloudflare's platform, ensuring high performance and responsiveness to customer issues.
Available Locations: Austin, TX | Lisbon, Portugal | London, UK
Role Summary
Workers Observability (WOBS) Team provides a growing suite of tools to monitor, troubleshoot and optimize applications on the Cloudflare Developer platform. These tools increasingly work across Cloudflare products to provide complete visibility into user applications. We aim to make these tools not only best-in-class but also frictionless and intuitive to use. All this within the context of Cloudflare's scale and globally distributed infrastructure.
Team members help design and ship core software features across the observability stack - including the frontend customer experience, integrations with other Cloudflare primitives, and our internal data stores and ingestion pipelines. You will own code across the development lifecycle from design to release including QA, incident management, and performance optimization.
The Systems Engineer role is a full-stack position which requires extensive cross-functional collaboration. On a given day you might incorporate frontend feedback from a customer, run a Clickhouse query to diagnose a data ingestion bug, and propose a better tracing integration with another product on the Workers platform.
Role Responsibilities
Expertise: Success in this role will depend on becoming an expert not just on the observability platform, but on the Cloudflare Developer Platform as a whole.
