Cloudflare - Systems Engineer - Global Resource Management (Data Residency)
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. You don't need to have designed a sharded database, but you should be able to reason about why it matters that a customer's data is in Frankfurt and not Portland. • Ability to work across team boundaries. DRA spans nearly every engineering organization at Cloudflare. You'll need to navigate ambiguity, communicate technical tradeoffs clearly, and drive alignment with engineers you don't share a standup with. • 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.
Benefits
• Greenfield at scale. You're building a new architectural capability from the ground up on one of the largest networks on the Internet • Small team, big scope. This is a small, high-autonomy engineering team operating within a major cross-functional program. You'll have outsized ownership and direct influence over technical decisions, not a ticket queue. • Cross-cutting impact. DRA touches the control plane, data plane, logging pipeline, cryptographic infrastructure, and customer experience. This role is not siloed into one service or one layer of the stack. • Regulatory relevance. Data sovereignty is one of the defining infrastructure challenges of the next decade. You'll build deep expertise in a problem space with growing demand across every major cloud provider and regulated industry. • Cloudflare offers a complete package of benefits and programs to support you and your family. Our benefits programs can help you pay health care expenses, support caregiving, build capital for the future and make life a little easier and fun!
