Responsibilities
- Join the engineering team as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer focused on the edge and ingress layer that fronts our platform.
Own the design, hardening, and operation of our Cloudflare edge configuration and our ingress/reverse-proxy stack, ensuring traffic reaches our applications securely, reliably, and at scale.
- Guarantee the availability, performance, low-latency, security, and cost efficiency of our edge and ingress infrastructure.
Improve operational excellence for how traffic enters and moves through our environment; mentor other engineers and raise the bar on edge and ingress reliability practices.
- Own and evolve Cloudflare edge configuration across Accounts and Zones, including WAF rules, custom Rulesets, Bot Protection, and Rate Limiting policies.
- Design and maintain DNS architecture in Cloudflare, including zone delegation, record hygiene, and change management at scale.
- Implement and operate m TLS with Authenticated Origin Pulls, private PKIs, and manage the certificate lifecycle across Cloudflare and origin infrastructure.
- Build and support self-service automation for edge configuration using Terraform, enabling application teams to safely manage their own WAF, DNS, and routing changes.
- Develop and operate solutions using Cloudflare Workers and R2 Storage to extend edge logic and reduce origin load.

- Operate and extend service mesh (Istio) capabilities, including traffic management, m TLS between services, and observability of east-west traffic.
- Partner with Security to defend against OWASP-class attack vectors, implement credential-stuffing protection, DDo S prevention, and manage ACLs across the edge and ingress layers.
- Implement robust monitoring and alerting for edge, DNS, and ingress health to proactively detect anomalies, latency regressions, and abuse patterns.
- Lead incident response for edge/ingress-related incidents and participate in on-call rotations, including postmortems and runbook development.
- Document architecture, standards, and best practices for the edge and ingress layer, and mentor other engineers on Cloudflare and ingress operations.
- Act as the primary subject matter expert for Cloudflare, ingress, and edge networking, providing weekly support to engineering teams through office hours, support requests, architecture guidance, technical coaching, and hands-on assistance to unblock projects and enable successful adoption of platform capabilities.
