Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

About The Role
Cloudflare is a system spanning the globe, on a mission to make the internet better, safer, and more powerful everyday. As one of the engineers working on the Cloudflare Edge, you’ll work on the code that runs closest to the end user and is deployed into 150+ cities around the world.

Examples of software systems at our Edge include:

• A TLS/HTTP proxy to make the connection from eyeball to edge as fast and secure as possible
• Filtering malicious traffic and handling good traffic according to customer configuration
• Content optimization that takes content served from customer sites and makes it more performant
• A platform that runs “serverless” Workers and provides a key value store

• Our Authoritative DNS server and our public resolver 1.1.1.1.

We operate some of the fastest services on the Internet. Your work will focus on building robust, secure, and high performance distributed systems. We are a small engineering team operating at massive scale, so what you do will have huge influence.
