About the team
The Magic Cloud Networking team builds an orchestration framework that empowers customers to take public cloud resources (e.g., AWS / Azure / GCP) and securely connect them to Cloudflare's global data-center footprint. Working with public cloud networking resources provides unique challenges-each cloud models networking very differently, customers can modify resources out-of-band of our orchestration system ("shadow IT operations"), resources can fail in opaque and varied ways outside of our control, etc.. To solve these issues, our orchestration platform must be resilient and scalable, while also affording flexibility to the unique constraints of each cloud. Powering this orchestration framework are a set of Go and Rust-based microservices running in our core data-centers, leveraging Cloudflare's infrastructure excellence.
We are a team of engineers who obsess over building reliable services which leverage Cloudflare's unique architecture and global network footprint.

About the role
As a software engineer on the Magic Cloud Networking team, you will contribute to features that shape Cloudflare One's use of multi-cloud networking. You will build solutions that improve performance, scalability, manageability, and security of customer cloud footprints as well as connect them to our global network. This work requires close collaboration with other teams while leveraging frameworks and libraries that power many Cloudflare products. Our technology stack includes Go, Rust, OpenTofu, Public Clouds (e.g., AWS / Azure / GCP), Kubernetes, Docker, and Prometheus. We're looking for determined, curious, empathetic engineers to join our team!
Desirable skills, knowledge, and experience
