Cloudflare is hiring a

Software Engineer Web3

About the Distributed Web team

The Distributed Web team maintains Cloudflare’s InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Ethereum Gateways. The IPFS Gateway lets users access content stored on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) quickly and easily, without downloading any special software or giving up any storage space on their computer. Similarly, Cloudflare's Ethereum Gateway lets users interact with the Ethereum network without installing any software on their computer.

Responsibilities

Cloudflare Distributed Web Gateway provides an HTTP interface to the Distributed Web. Leveraging Cloudflare infrastructure, websites can easily and securely retrieve data from Ethereum or IPFS. In this role, you can expect to face challenges in providing distributed systems at scale, operating active open source projects, as well as operating at the Edge.

These projects are written in Go and TypeScript, and run in a Kubernetes environment. Along with the rest of the team, you will own and support the whole stack: the code base, deployment and rollback plans, operations, monitoring, alerting and debugging. You may contribute to open source projects, and see your code be served at scale.
