Build next-generation Object Storage in a distributed system using Rust and other technologies. Own code from inception to release and tackle technical challenges.
Locations: Austin, TX | Seattle, WA | Lisbon, PT | London, UK About the Department
Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a massively successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers. Cloudflare's edge and network make it possible to solve problems at massive scale and efficiency which would be impossible for almost any other organization.
About the Team
R2 is Cloudflare's object storage platform, designed to offer developers a durable and reliable storage solution that integrates seamlessly with Cloudflare's Developer Platform, including Workers and other compute products. The R2 team builds foundational infrastructure that operates at massive scale and powers critical workloads across Cloudflare's global network-designing and maintaining distributed systems that handle high throughput, provide strong consistency and durability guarantees, and support a growing number of developer-facing features.
You'll be joining a highly motivated team that is building the next generation of object storage.
What You'll Do
In this role, you will help us build out the next generation of our globally distributed object storage system. You will own your code from inception to release, delivering solutions at all layers of the software stack to empower Cloudflare customers. On any given day, you might write a design document that outlines how you plan to solve a specific problem, implement a new feature, or fix a bug that's impacting our users. You can expect to interact with a variety of languages and technologies including Rust, Go, and TypeScript.
