Software Engineer, Egress (Lisbon / London)

Role Summary
The Egress team was formed to own a very important aspect of Cloudflare's network-as-a-service: Egress connectivity for our vast portfolio of products.
As a member of the Egress team, you will be a key technical contributor to a cutting edge network software infrastructure used by a growing number of Cloudflare products to connect to any destination from Cloudflare's network. Among the products powered by this technology is WARP, our Zero Trust platform, and Cloudflare's egress proxy for the iCloud Private Relay product.
You will work closely with various Engineering teams to translate their requirements into new capabilities on the platform. Likewise you will partner with Network Engineering and SRE to ensure that the technology makes the best use of Cloudflare's world-class edge network.
You will participate in all stages of the software development lifecycle, from designing and documenting systems, to writing code and automated tests, to planning, managing, and monitoring production software deployments. You will work with a wide range of technologies and programming languages, including Rust, Go, Linux networking, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, Grafana, Kubernetes, and more.
Engineering teams at Cloudflare operate a Run What You Build model, including ours. We are responsible for the health of our system and participate in our team's on-call rotation as part of operational responsibilities.
Because you'll be solving problems of massive scale and significance, you are a growth-oriented individual who enjoys being outside of your comfort zone. You are comfortable in a fast-paced but sensible work environment. You value curiosity and empathy and lead with these values.
