Systems Engineer - Global Resource Management (Data Residency)

Join the Data Residency Architecture (DRA) program, a small, high-autonomy team building the infrastructure that lets customers keep their data in a country or region of their choosing.

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. Cloudflare's backend services and core platform are written in Go.
• Comfort or willingness to work in TypeScript. The control plane uses Cloudflare Workers (TypeScript), and the dashboard is a TypeScript application.
• Experience designing and building REST APIs — 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.
• Ability to work across team boundaries; DRA spans nearly every engineering organization at Cloudflare.

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.

Benefits include medical/dental/vision insurance, retirement plans, flexible PTO, mental health support, parental leave, and stock participation.
