Desirable

• The Cloudflare Queues team delivers our managed global message queue service. Queues lets developers reliably send and receive messages, buffer or batch operations, and decouple load among services on the edge. It features message batching, automatic retries, and at-least once delivery guarantees
• Queues is integrated with Cloudflare Workers; a Worker can send messages to a Queue, and consume messages from a Queue. Here are a few example use-cases:
• Offload work from a request – If a Worker needs to do processing, but doesn't need to block the request. (more reliable than "waitUntil()")
• Guaranteed delivery – If a customer cannot lose data, Queues will guarantee that each message is stored on-disk and processed at-least once
• Send data between Workers – If a customer wants to send messages among Workers, Queues makes it super easy. (more reliable than "Service" bindings)
• Batch events, logs, analytics, etc. – If a service has too much or bursty load, developers can send data to a Queue, then process that data in batches
• The team is geographically distributed across North America
• We are looking for an Engineering Manager to join our team. You will work with a team of passionate, talented engineers that are building innovative products that bring security and speed to millions of internet users each day
• You will play an active part in shaping product features and improving performance to make Queues the best it can be. You will make sure our company hits our ambitious goals from an engineering standpoint. You will change the way people build applications
