Senior Software Engineer — Client Mobile and Desktop Apps

Position Title: Senior Software Engineer Client Mobile and Desktop Apps

Available Locations: Austin TX, Denver CO

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Cloudflare One Client team. You will be working on the cross‑platform app and lower‑level implementation of our Cloudflare One Client Desktop and Mobile Apps, which protects devices by securely and privately sending traffic from those devices to Cloudflare’s global network, which can apply advanced filtering and Cloudflare One policies.

In your role, you will use cross-platform frameworks along with platform-native languages & APIs to implement user-friendly apps that run on desktop and mobile platforms. You will also use Rust alongside platform-native languages and APIs to implement high-performance networking code for both our mobile and desktop apps.

You will be most successful in this role if you have a good understanding of user‑interface programming, the intricacies of different platforms, experience working on multi-platform code, a decent understanding of lower-level operating system concepts (virtual memory, multi-threading, process lifecycle, etc.) and networking concepts & protocols (VPNs, TCP/IP, etc.). You will also have to interact with other languages, such as Flutter, Swift, Java, Kotlin, C#, Rust, C++, and

C. You'll be expected to improve the code quality and to build solid, testable, and well‑documented foundations.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be expected to lead the design and implementation of major development projects, working closely with our product managers, designers and other teams to implement customer-impacting features. You will work on stimulating problems born out of the scale of our deployment, and the stringent quality, performance, and security requirements of our product.

• Experience with cross‑platform programming (Flutter) and good familiarity and understanding of user‑interface and core OS concepts of one or more platform (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux).
