Systems Engineer role focused on Cloudflare Browser Isolation, working across browser engine, distributed services, and security to deliver reliable, low-latency remote browser-based isolation solutions. Hybrid role based in Austin, TX.

Responsibilities

  • Own well-scoped features and improvements from design and implementation through testing, rollout, and production follow-up, with support from experienced teammates.
  • Develop and maintain C++ code in our Chromium-based browser, and contribute across distributed services and systems components written in Go, Rust, and TypeScript.
  • Debug failures across browser processes, Linux hosts, and distributed services using logs, metrics, traces, and profiling tools.
  • Improve session reliability, startup time, interactive latency, and resource efficiency; validate improvements with measurements.
  • Write maintainable code, automated tests, and clear design notes; participate in constructive code and design reviews.
  • Collaborate with teammates and partner teams, communicate trade-offs and blockers, and incorporate feedback.
  • Participate in the team’s production on-call rotation after onboarding, and contribute to incident mitigation and follow-up improvements.

Qualifications

  • Linux/UNIX fundamentals, including processes, threads, networking, and tools for diagnosing system behavior.
  • Working knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design.
  • Experience developing or operating distributed systems, with an understanding of service-to-service communication, timeouts, retries, partial failure, and basic consistency trade-offs.
  • Ability to navigate an unfamiliar codebase, break a defined problem into deliverable steps, and test correctness and failure cases.
  • A systematic approach to debugging and performance analysis, using evidence to form and test hypotheses.
