About the Department
Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a massively successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers. Cloudflare's edge and network make it possible to solve problems at massive scale and efficiency which would be impossible for almost any other organization.
The Workers organization makes it possible for Cloudflare customers to run JavaScript and WebAssembly on Cloudflare's edge network. We build and maintain the technology that executes trillions of requests per month on behalf of developers and grants them nearly limitless control over how their requests are handled and responded to.
About the Team
The Workers team makes it possible for Cloudflare customers to run JavaScript and WebAssembly on Cloudflare's edge network. We build and maintain the developer platform that executes trillions of requests per month on behalf of developers and grants them nearly limitless control over how their requests are handled and responded to. The Workers team is split into several groups, this group is focused on how we bring state to the edge.
What you'll do
In this role, you'll help design and build Workers KV, a global low-latency key-value data store for the Supercloud. You'll be part of a top-notch engineering team keeping KV running smoothly at global scale while implementing new features, ensuring reliability, and improving performance.
You will own your code from inception to release, delivering solutions at all layers of the software stack to empower Cloudflare customers. On any given day, you might write a design document that outlines how you plan to solve a specific problem, modify how KV processes and stores data, or fix a bug in how our user experience renders. You can expect to interact with a variety of languages and technologies including, but not limited to Typescript, Go, Rust, and C++.
