About the role

  • Senior Software Engineer designing developer tools for Cloudflare's Durable Objects. Responsible for enhancing the Developer Experience with APIs and SDKs.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain the primary developer-facing surfaces for Durable Objects, including our command-line tooling (wrangler), APIs, SDKs, and dashboard.
  • Own the end-to-end developer workflow, from creating intuitive local testing and simulation environments to building powerful debugging and observability tools for a globally distributed system.
  • Act as a technical leader and mentor on the team, driving engineering quality through rigorous code and design reviews.
  • Innovate on solutions to the unique challenges of managing and migrating state at the edge, ensuring developers can deploy with confidence.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, developer advocates, and support engineers to translate developer feedback into a concrete product roadmap.
  • Author high-quality technical documentation, tutorials, and example applications that inspire developers and accelerate their time-to-production.
  • Triage, investigate, and resolve complex bugs and performance issues reported by the large and growing community of developers building on Durable Objects.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a significant portion dedicated to building developer-facing tools, APIs, or cloud infrastructure.
  • Deep, hands-on experience building, deploying, and operating applications on at least one major cloud platform (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure, or Cloudflare Workers).
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and an interest in C++/Rust.
  • A "product-first" mindset and a strong sense of empathy for developers; you get annoyed when tools are hard to use, and you're driven to fix them.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex distributed systems concepts to a wide range of audiences.
  • A proven track record of taking ownership of complex projects and delivering them from inception to production in a distributed, asynchronous team environment.

Benefits

  • Professional development opportunities
  • Flexible work arrangements
