About the role
Cloudflare seeks an engineer for its R2/ETI metadata systems in a role spanning design, development, and operations. You will work on a distributed SQL-backed metadata layer, building features that support billions of objects across clusters, while leveraging Cloudflare's edge network and AI-powered tooling to ship faster and more reliably. You'll collaborate with storage, networking, and platform teams, own end-to-end projects, and participate in on-call rotations to improve system reliability
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
