Senior Infrastructure Engineer role within Cloudflare's Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) Storage Infrastructure team. Build and operate a shared storage platform for stateful products (R2, Workers KV, Durable Objects) across global infrastructure, focusing on automation, reliability, observability, and AI-assisted operations.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build automation and operator tooling for provisioning, configuring, expanding, upgrading, and decommissioning storage hardware, distributed databases, and object storage clusters.
  • Engineer globally distributed storage fleets to tolerate hardware failures, network disruption, capacity pressure, and recovery events across multiple failure domains.
  • Develop observability, alerting, and safety controls that help engineers understand fleet health and make auditable production changes.
  • Diagnose incidents across Linux, storage, networking, and distributed systems; participate in on-call and implement durable fixes that reduce operational toil.
  • Use AI tools throughout development and operations to accelerate debugging, incident triage, root-cause analysis, and toil reduction, while applying sound engineering judgment and verifying outputs before taking production action.
  • Validate new storage hardware and characterize its performance during normal operation, failures, rebuilds, and other recovery conditions.
  • Partner with R2, Workers KV, Durable Objects, Network, Capacity Planning, Performance Engineering, and Infrastructure Operations to turn service requirements into infrastructure capabilities.

Qualifications

  • Experience designing, building, and operating infrastructure platforms or large-scale production fleets, including automation of lifecycle operations.
  • Strong Linux systems knowledge and experience troubleshooting across compute, storage, and networking layers.
  • Experience operating distributed systems in production, including observability, incident response, reliability improvements, and safe change management.
  • Ability to write maintainable software in at least one programming language, such as Go, Rust, or Python.
