Cloudflare | Multiple Roles | Full-Time | Austin, Lisbon, London, or REMOTE | cloudflare.com

Cloudflare Workers is hiring for multiple roles to help build the leading serverless platform, powered by Cloudflare’s edge network. Our platform is growing rapidly, with industry leading cold-start times and advanced features like Hyperdrive and Workers for Platforms. Cloudflare builds a large portion of our software with open source, such as workerd (runtime), Wrangler, workers-rs, Pingora, and Foundations.

We are looking for experienced C++ developers to work on the Workers Runtime or Durable Objects:

Workers Runtime - https://boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/5446161?gh_jid=...

Workers Durable Objects - https://boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/5390243?gh_jid=...

There are also a few other roles open related to Workers:

Workers Core API - https://boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/5718743?gh_jid=...

Job postings you link to just say Austin, TX and don’t specify remote. Are all Cloudflare workers SWE positions remote eligible?

All Workers / developer platform SWE/EM/PM positions are remote-friendly, yes.

(I can't speak for other teams at Cloudflare, but many of them are the same.)

Remote-friendly means US-remote-friendly? Or worldwide?

Also, the listing says [0]. Does this mean I can't work as a non-US-citizen / I need a security clearance of some sort?

[0]:

> This position may require access to information protected under U.S. export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Please note that any offer of employment may be conditioned on your authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export laws without sponsorship for an export license.

The Workers / Developer Platform team is generally happy to hire anywhere in American or European time zones where Cloudflare already has a legal entity set up to support such hiring. This includes many countries in Europe but not all of them -- you will have to ask the recruiter. The Workers team is hesitant to hire in Asia / Australia mostly due to difficulty of scheduling team meetings, but might make an exception for an exceptional candidate. Some other Cloudflare teams operate in those time zones regularly (especially SRE, which naturally has to operate in all time zones).

The note about US export control laws applies to countries that US companies are explicitly forbidden from working with, like Iran. It does not apply to most of the world.

Thank you for the fast reply.

And also thank you for cap'n'proto. Got the chance to sneak into the project again and am happy to see you announced v2.
