Build and operate systems for provisioning, monitoring, and orchestrating Cloudflare's private network interconnects at massive scale. Requires systems programming (Rust/Go), deep networking knowledge (BGP, Layer 3), distributed systems experience, and on-call participation.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Build and extend systems that provision, monitor, and orchestrate private network interconnects at scale.
- Collaborate with Product Management, Network Engineering, and Infrastructure teams on initiatives to connect enterprise customers directly to Cloudflare's global network.

- Work with technologies including Rust, Go, PostgreSQL, Prometheus, Kubernetes, Linux networking, network operating systems, and BGP routing.
- Operate under a "Run What You Build" model, taking responsibility for system health and participating in on-call rotation.
- Solve problems of massive scale in a fast-paced environment, valuing curiosity and empathy.
Requirements
- Systems-level programming experience in Rust, Go, C, or C++.
- Understanding of IP networking fundamentals: BGP, Layer 3 routing, and physical/virtual interconnect technologies (cross-connects, VLANs, overlay tunnels).
- Experience building, deploying, and debugging distributed systems.
- Experience participating in an on-call rotation for services with direct customer impact.
- Willingness to adopt and integrate AI tools and systems into workflow.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills.
Nice-to-Haves
- Hands-on experience with BGP configuration, route policy, or peering operations.
- Experience building provisioning or automation systems for network infrastructure.
- Familiarity with network inventory and IPAM systems (e.g., NetBox).
- Experience with cloud provider networking (AWS Direct Connect, GCP Partner Interconnect, Azure ExpressRoute).
- Knowledge of GRE, VXLAN, or other overlay/tunnel technologies.
- Experience with Kubernetes-based service deployments and CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with telemetry/observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch).
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code completion, codebase analysis, log/data exploration) in a professional setting.
