What You'll Work On
- Regional API Routing - Build per-account API hostname generation and routing so that customer requests terminate in their chosen country, integrating with Cloudflare's Data Localization Suite and edge API gateway.
- Dashboard Integration - Modify the Cloudflare dashboard so that API calls route through regional endpoints while surfacing clear regional indicators to the customer.
- Account Creation & Provisioning - Build the account creation flow that captures country/region selection and integrates with the Control Plane Platform orchestrator to provision per-account regional storage and configuration.
- Internal Tooling - Build admin tooling (provisioning integrations, billing shims, operational dashboards) so that support, sales, and finance teams can manage DRA accounts without violating residency constraints.
- Cross-Team Integration - Work across the DRA program to integrate with regional storage, cryptographic key management, and logging infrastructure built by other teams.
- Migration & Self-Service - Help design the path from manual provisioning (MVP) to dashboard self-service, and eventually tooling that migrates existing enterprise customers into DRA.
Required:
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience building production systems at scale.
- Proficiency in Go. Our backend services and core platform are written in Go.
- Comfort or willingness to work in TypeScript. Our control plane uses Cloudflare Workers (TypeScript), and the dashboard is a TypeScript application.
- Experience designing and building REST APIs. You understand routing, authentication, request lifecycle, and how frontends consume distributed backends.
- Comfort with distributed systems tradeoffs — data locality, replication, consistency models, and the latency implications of geographically distributed infrastructure. You don't need to have designed a sharded database, but you should be able to reason about why it matters that a customer's data is in Frankfurt and not Portland.
- Ability to work across team boundaries. DRA spans nearly every engineering organization at Cloudflare. You'll need to navigate ambiguity, communicate technical tradeoffs clearly, and drive alignment with engineers you don't share a standup with.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with data residency, sovereignty, or compliance engineering (GDPR, EU Data Act, EUCS, FedRAMP, or equivalent regulatory frameworks).
- Familiarity with edge computing platforms such as Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, or similar serverless/edge-native runtimes.
- Familiarity with PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, or SQLite in production environments.
Why This Role
- Greenfield at scale. You're building a new architectural capability from the ground up on one of the largest networks on the Internet
- Small team, big scope. This is a small, high-autonomy engineering team operating within a major cross-functional program. You'll have outsized ownership and direct influence over technical decisions, not a ticket queue.
- Cross-cutting impact. DRA touches the control plane, data plane, logging pipeline, cryptographic infrastructure, and customer experience. This role is not siloed into one service or one layer of the stack.
- Regulatory relevance. Data sovereignty is one of the defining infrastructure challenges of the next decade. You'll build deep expertise in a problem space with growing demand across every major cloud provider and regulated industry.
