About the department
Cloudflare’s Resiliency Engineering Team builds and runs the systems and software that support our solutions that handle trillions of requests per month. Resiliency Engineering ensures all of the new and existing features and functionality that Cloudflare offers can be managed at scale and meet the needs of our massively growing customer base. The Infrastructure Tooling Team within the Resiliency Engineering organization is responsible for defining, building and supporting the tools that can be leveraged by the rest of the Infrastructure Engineering team to manage our infrastructure at scale.
What you’ll do
In this role you’ll have an opportunity to work on our internal infra-control plan application “Zinc”. On the Zinc team, you’ll be building a critical component of the overall Cloudflare stack. Zinc is a Rust based application that is used to manage our global fleet of servers and network devices. Zinc must be high performance, highly available, and have few shared dependencies since nearly everything else has a dependency on Zinc. If you like thinking about optimizing and scaling globally distributed systems, this may be the team for you! More about Zinc in the Cloudflare blog: https://blog.cloudflare.com/redefining-fleet-management-at-cloudflare/
Because you’ll be solving problems of great significance, and shaping the future of the Internet, you are a growth-oriented individual who enjoys being outside of your comfort zone in a fast-paced environment.
