Provide technical leadership for scalable, safe, and automated deployment platform across a global network. | 8+ years hands-on software engineering with ownership of complex distributed production systems, strong technical leadership, and experience in safety, observability, and automation. | About Us At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet.

If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in. Location: Austin, TX (US) Cloudflare’s Infrastructure Team builds and runs the systems and software that support our solutions that handle trillions of requests per month. We ensure that all of the new and existing features and functionality that Cloudflare offers can be managed at scale and meet the needs of our massively growing, global customer base. About the role As a Senior Software Engineer in the Deploy@Scale team, you will provide technical leadership for the platform that powers safe, reliable, and automated deployments across Cloudflare. This is a senior IC role: you will set technical direction across multiple work streams, not just execute within one. You'll be expected to operate with significant autonomy - identifying the right problems to solve, driving architecture decisions that will hold up over multiple years, and influencing how dozens of engineering teams across Cloudflare think about safe change. You will partner directly with your EM and leadership to shape the multi-quarter roadmap, and you'll be a primary technical voice in cross-team design reviews, RFCs, and incident retrospectives that touch deployment safety. You'll spend meaningful time unblocking and elevating the rest of the team: reviewing designs before they become code, pairing on the hardest problems, and raising the technical bar through mentorship - without needing to be a people manager to do it. You'll be defining what the platform is, deciding what not to build, and making the tradeoffs which ensure the system is safe, fast, and scalable five years from now. Where we're heading From human-in-the-loop to machine-in-the-loop: fully automated, health-mediated deployments as the default, at hundreds of thousands of releases a day. Consolidating a fragmented landscape: unifying release orchestration, health mediation, feature flagging, and configuration rollback into one coherent platform. AI as a first-class part of the platform: you'll help define where and how AI assists both the platform and the humans operating it. This is a unique opportunity to work on complex, globally distributed systems that underpin every Cloudflare product. You will play a key role in advancing the infrastructure that enables fast, safe delivery of changes to production, directly impacting the reliability and velocity of Cloudflare's global network. You will collaborate with the team to understand business needs and develop technical solutions, working closely with internal customers to turn their workflows into platform capabilities. You will thrive in a fast-paced iterative engineering environment with short release cycles. This role may require flexibility to be on-call outside of standard working hours to address technical issues as needed. Examples of desirable skills, knowledge, and experience 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, including a track record of owning the architecture of complex, distributed, production-critical systems end to end. Demonstrated technical leadership beyond your own code: driving RFCs and design reviews that other senior engineers and teams rely on, and being sought out as a technical escalation point. Judgment for ambiguity — comfortable defining the problem and the roadmap, not just the solution, in an environment where requirements are not fully specified upfront. Deep experience with safety, observability, and automation in production systems: designing rollback paths, health signals, and guardrails that other systems and teams build on top of. Experience influencing technical direction across team boundaries — through architecture, mentorship, or platform APIs/contracts — without direct authority. Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with AI as a working tool: fluent use of AI-assisted development, critical evaluation of its output, and a point of view on where it should and shouldn't be trusted in a safety-critical system. Experience with workflow orchestration, long-running/durable execution, or large-scale distributed systems is a strong plus. Strong written and verbal communication — this role requires writing docs and RFCs that persuade and align, not just describe. Bonus points Prior experience owning a deployment, progressive delivery, or change-management platform at scale. Experience leading a technical migration across many independent teams (e.g., a platform sunset/replacement). Equity This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.

Available Locations: Austin, TX or London, UK (Hybrid) About the Role R2 is Cloudflare's object storage platform, offering developers durable, reliable storage with zero egress fees that integrates seamlessly with Cloudflare's global network and Developer Platform. The R2 Gateway team owns the request-facing layer of R2 — the S3-compatible API gateway that every object put, get, list, and delete flows through. When a customer or application talks to R2, they talk to the systems we build and operate. R2 is growing rapidly, and the gateway must evolve to keep pace. The team is responsible for the API surface that handles authentication, request routing, rate limiting, and coordination between clients and R2's storage and metadata layers — all while maintaining strict compatibility with the S3 API and delivering low-latency, highly available access at global scale. You'll be joining a team that operates at the intersection of large-scale distributed systems, storage infrastructure, and edge computing — building request-path systems that need to be correct, fast, and reliable on every single call. Responsibilities Design, implement, and operate the S3-compatible API gateway that serves every R2 operation, ensuring correctness, low latency, and compatibility with the S3 API surface. Build and operate production services on Cloudflare Workers and Kubernetes that handle high-throughput request traffic with strong availability and durability guarantees. Own the request path end to end — authentication, authorization, routing, rate limiting, and error handling — and the interfaces between the gateway and R2's storage and metadata layers. Own projects end to end: from design docs through implementation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring. Continuously improve the reliability, performance, and observability of the gateway; ramp quickly into unfamiliar and legacy code paths and reduce operational toil. Participate in on-call rotations, drive incident resolution, and write postmortems that raise reliability standards. Use AI tools extensively to accelerate development, debugging, and operational tasks. We expect engineers to leverage AI as a core part of their workflow. Collaborate across teams (storage infrastructure, metadata, networking, other platform teams) to coordinate API contracts, capacity planning, and cross-cutting initiatives. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience Strong programming skills in Rust, TypeScript, Go, or similar languages. Experience building or operating large-scale distributed systems on the request path, with strong latency and reliability requirements. Familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts such as object storage, HTTP/API gateways, edge computing, or service-oriented architectures. Experience designing and operating high-throughput APIs — authentication, routing, rate limiting, and backward-compatible API evolution. Understanding of reliability and observability practices: monitoring, alerting, performance tuning, and incident response. Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain technical decisions clearly and coordinate across teams. Comfortable working with AI coding tools as part of a daily development workflow. Experience with the S3 API surface, or with Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, or edge computing platforms, is a strong plus. What Makes Cloudflare Special?

Develop and maintain a high-performance analytical database platform with distributed systems and collaborate across teams to optimize data solutions. | 3+ years in software development with distributed systems and databases, strong programming skills in Golang/Python/C++, SQL knowledge, and collaborative problem-solving abilities. | About Us At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in.

Participate in on call rotations, drive incident resolution, and write postmortems that improve reliability. Use AI tools extensively to accelerate development, debugging, and operational tasks. We expect engineers to leverage AI as a core part of their workflow. Collaborate across teams to coordinate capacity planning, API contracts, and cross cutting initiatives. Embed with Sales, Marketing, Developer Relations (DevRel), and Growth to turn fuzzy operational pain into shipped software. Help set the standard for GTM engineering organization wide. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience: 10+ years of software engineering experience with a demonstrated history of leading complex, organization-wide data initiatives. Deep expertise in building distributed systems and production infrastructure at scale, with proficiency in Go and strong working knowledge of TypeScript. Exceptional ability to navigate ambiguous problem spaces, identify the highest-impact technical work, and drive projects autonomously from conception through adoption—balancing pragmatic execution with long-term technical excellence. Deep analytical SQL and data modeling experience. Proven ability to manage complexity even at thousands of tables. Able to debug database and query performance issues using profiling tools and source code where applicable. Please be prepared to discuss specific examples of organization-wide technical initiatives you've led, particularly distributed systems or data infrastructure and their measurable business impact. Nice to have: Previous experience as a Principal Engineer, Staff+ engineer, or technical leader on platform, infrastructure, or task force teams that operate outside traditional product roadmaps with a focus on enabling GTM organizations. Columnar/OLAP or lakehouse experience (ClickHouse, DuckDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Iceberg, Starrocks).Familiarity with the Salesforce data model and CRM/API integrations. Familiarity with deploying to bare metal and Kubernetes. Experience on Cloudflare Workers / edge platforms and analytics-engineering (dbt) workflows. Background in SaaS or product-led growth (PLG) GTM motions. Compensation Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.

Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience These are examples of what a strong candidate brings: Professional Experience: 5-8 years building and operating production systems at scale. Identity Domain Knowledge: Working knowledge of identity protocols and models (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, RBAC/ABAC, and session management, etc.). Hands-on experience implementing identity protocols or fine-grained authorization systems, RBAC, ABAC, relationship-based access control, or policy engines (such as Cedar), in production. Language Proficiency: Proficiency in languages like Go and Typescript and comfort working across Cloudflare’s tech stack. API Design: Experience designing and building REST APIs: routing, authentication, request lifecycle, and versioning. Database & Storage: PostgreSQL and Redis experience: schema design, query optimization, caching strategies, and consistency tradeoffs. Distributed Systems: Strong distributed systems intuition: consistency models, event-driven replication, and the implications of global state propagation. High Agency: High standards for correctness and security; curious, self-directed, and comfortable driving ambiguous problems to resolution across team boundaries. Bonus Points Experience with credential and token lifecycle systems: issuance, rotation, scoping, revocation, or service-to-service authentication at scale. Familiarity with the Cloudflare developer platform: Workers, Durable Objects, KV, R2, etc. Experience incrementally re-architecting a large, long-lived codebase under production traffic, and familiarity with containerized deployment (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code (Terraform), and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana).

Own content architecture, define editorial standards, produce technical tutorials, and mentor the team. | 12+ years experience in technical content and software engineering with proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and modern web development. | About Us At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in. Principal Content Engineer — Developer Platform Available Locations: Austin, TX (Preferred), San Francisco, CA, or New York, NY Developer GTM is a cross-functional, fast growing team within Cloudflare. We are builders, storytellers, and connectors united by one goal: to make Cloudflare the most exciting place for developers to build. As the Principal Content Engineer, you are the content engine for that growth. You’ll translate product reality and industry trends into content that developers actually find, read, build from, and come back to. You'll personally write and build the flagship pieces, including deep tutorials, runnable sample apps, reference architectures, and narratives that make Cloudflare the obvious place to build. You'll set the architecture, standards, and tooling that let the whole GTM team produce at quality at scale. Underpinning all of this is a bigger bet: the way people learn is changing dramatically as the Internet and the web evolve. Search is becoming conversational, AI agents consume content directly, and the static tutorial is no longer the end of the learning journey. We believe the learning platform itself has to be reinvented from first principles, not incrementally improved. This role will help shape the next-generation learning platform, both internally (how Cloudflare's own teams learn and ship) and externally (how developers around the world learn to build on our network). This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You are part principal-grade writer, part engineer, part systems builder. You own the engine, and you also drive the bus. What you'll do Own the content architecture for Developer GTM. Define the content types, editorial standards, and quality bar across tutorials, blog posts, sample apps, newsletters, and community/education content. Curate and shape what the team produces: edit for clarity and consistency, prune what's stale, and make sure every piece fits the whole. Build and run the systems that scale quality. Design self-healing pipelines, AI-assisted review and maintenance, CI checks, and quality guardrails that catch broken examples, stale versions, and wrong APIs before developers do. You treat content as software: versioned, tested, and continuously improved. Write and build flagship content. Produce deep technical tutorials, reference architectures, and runnable demos on the Developer Platform, including Workers, Workers AI, R2, Durable Objects, Queues, and beyond, that developers can clone, run, and learn from in one sitting. Your writing turns complex distributed-systems concepts into something a developer can build in an afternoon. Drive developer acquisition and activation. Partner with Growth, DevRel, Product, and PMM to map content to the developer journey, from discovery and signup, through first deployment, to production usage. Define and track measures of content quality and discoverability, and use analytics and experimentation to keep improving. Be the AI-native edge. Build AI-assisted content tooling and guardrails, and make sure our content is built to be found and consumed by AI agents and LLMs, not just humans. You're fluent in what AI means for how developers search, learn, and build, and you treat that fluency as the foundation of the next-gen learning experience, not a nice-to-have. Read the industry and turn it into motion. Identify emerging developer behaviors and workloads, across AI agents, MCP servers, vibe coding, multi-tenant applications, and edge-native architectures, and translate them into narratives and content that position Cloudflare as the default platform for how software is being built today. Raise the floor. Establish the conventions, templates, and tooling that writers, advocates, and engineers across GTM adopt so their content stays accurate and consistent. Mentor and coach: the bar you set is the bar the team ships to. Desirable skills, knowledge, and experience 12+ years at the intersection of technical content, developer education, and software engineering, with a portfolio that shows you can both write beautifully and build what you write about. Exceptional technical writing and editing: enough craft to set a high quality bar and standardize it across a large body of work. Real engineering depth. You can design, build, ship, and maintain production tooling, with proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and modern web development; familiarity with version control, CI/CD, and testing. You've built things on serverless/edge platforms (Cloudflare Workers experience is a strong plus). Experience building automated content systems, including pipelines, CI checks, freshness/validation tooling, and AI-assisted review or maintenance. Content analytics and experimentation chops. You measure what works, tie content to acquisition/activation/adoption outcomes, and let data drive the roadmap. Information architecture and editorial standards experience for a substantial technical content surface. Experience establishing editorial standards and information architecture for a substantial technical site or program. Experience guiding a content platform migration or redesign is a plus. Knowledge of evaluation frameworks or observability for AI-powered systems is a plus. Knowledge of the developer journey and how developers discover, evaluate, and adopt platforms. You know what makes a tutorial convert and what makes a narrative land. Compensation Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.

You will proactively monitor dynamic customer health scores and telemetry to ensure rapid time-to-value and resolve integration bottlenecks. ● Commercial Accountability & Expansion: Carry a variable quota tied directly to new business acquisition and/or ongoing account growth. You will be commercially accountable for ensuring deep platform adoption, retaining revenue, and identifying strategic cross-sell and up-sell opportunities based on product usage data. Lead technical Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to translate platform capabilities into return on investment for C-level executives. ● Trusted Advisory: Act as a trusted technical advisor throughout the entire customer lifecycle, maintaining a continuous, deep relationship with key stakeholders from initial onboarding through maturity, renewal, and expansion. ● AI Orchestration & Workflow Automation: Act as an "AI-Augmented" engineer. Leverage AI agents and internal platforms to automate routine tasks such as RFP/Security Questionnaire responses, sandbox provisioning, and basic telemetry monitoring, reclaiming your time for strategic customer advisory. Minimum Qualifications ● Experience: Experience in a customer-facing technical role, such as Solutions Engineering, Customer Engineering, Sales Engineering, or as a Forward Deployed Engineer (years of experience required will vary based on Associate, Senior, Staff, or Principal leveling). ● Technical Acumen: Broad technical expertise spanning web security, networking (routing, DNS, DDoS mitigation), cloud infrastructure, enterprise architecture, and modern developer platforms (serverless, edge computing, API-driven workflows). ● Commercial Mindset: Proven track record of operating in a quota-carrying or revenue-aligned environment, with a strong understanding of SaaS metrics, business value translation, and enterprise sales cycles. ● Communication: Exceptional presentation and stakeholder management skills, capable of bridging the gap between deep technical implementation details and high-level C-suite business strategy. Compensation This role features a competitive base salary and a variable commission structure tied directly to the successful execution of full-lifecycle commercial targets, including new business acquisition, ongoing adoption milestones, and overall account expansion. Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location. This role is eligible to earn incentive compensation under Cloudflare’s Sales Compensation Plan.

Lead technical discovery and evangelize cloud platform solutions for startups, partnering with sales to drive technical wins. | Requires customer-facing technical or pre-sales experience, builder mindset, and proficiency with serverless, AI patterns, and networking. | About Us At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in. Available Locations Los Angeles We are only considering locally based candidates and are not offering relocation. Senior Solutions Engineer - (AI & Start-Ups) About the Role Digital Native SEs at Cloudflare work with the most innovative and cutting-edge companies on the planet — the startups and high-growth, cloud-native businesses that are building the next generation of Internet products. These are companies where the developers are the decision makers, and where the CTO is often personally responsible for shipping new products and getting the company's AI initiatives off the ground. This role is for a technologist who genuinely enjoys being in the room with builders. You'll be equally comfortable jumping into a Slack channel with a founding engineer, whiteboarding an architecture with a lead developer, and stepping into a strategic conversation with a CTO about their platform and AI roadmap. You speak the language of engineers fluently and can hold a credible, detailed technical conversation — but this is not a software developer role, and you won't be writing production code every day. Your superpower is technical discovery, translation, and evangelism: understanding what a builder is trying to accomplish, mapping it to the full breadth of the Cloudflare Developer Platform, and inspiring teams to build on Cloudflare rather than just consume a single service. The Digital Native segment leans heavily on Solutions Engineering to lead technical discovery within the cloud-developer vertical. You'll be expected to go deep on the Cloudflare Developer Platform — Workers, Durable Objects, Workers AI, R2, KV, D1, Vectorize, Queues, Pages, and the broader developer ecosystem — far beyond basic storage, and to make the case for Cloudflare as the place to build. This role covers both the acquisition of new Digital Native accounts and the expansion of existing ones. The ideal candidate is a "builder" personality with a strong mix of pre-sales/technical customer-facing experience who thrives in an agile, fast-moving environment. What you'll do as a Senior Solutions Engineer The Pre-Sales Solution Engineering organization owns the technical sales of the Cloudflare solution portfolio, ensuring maximal business value, fit-for-purpose solution design and adoption roadmap for our customers. Solution Engineering is made up of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds including but not limited to Sales Consultants, Technical Consultants, Technical Support and Program Managers. You are a customer-facing technologist within the Cloudflare Solutions Engineering team, focused on the developer-first, digital-native segment. You have experience in a pre-sales or other technical customer-facing role, and you're at your best when engaging directly with engineering teams and technical founders. In this role you'll partner closely with the sales team from the very start of the cycle — joining early discovery calls, qualifying opportunities from the get-go, and embedding yourself in customer Slack channels and working sessions. You'll lead technical discovery, deliver compelling demos and architecture discussions, run proof-of-concept builds, and evangelize the Cloudflare Developer Platform as the foundation for our customers' next products and AI initiatives. Responsibilities Specifically, we are looking for you to: Lead technical discovery within the cloud-developer vertical — asking the right questions to uncover how a customer builds, what they're trying to ship, and where Cloudflare fits. Engage early and often: join sales-led discovery calls from the outset, help qualify deals from the get-go, and stay embedded with customer teams (including in their Slack channels and working sessions) throughout the cycle. Identify and map customer initiatives and business problems — especially around new product development and AI initiatives — to the Cloudflare platform. Build relationships and technical champions within customer accounts, from founding engineers and developers up to the CTO. Develop and present tailored technical content and demos for both hands-on developer audiences and senior technical leadership. Lead demo and proof-of-concept / build activities for Cloudflare prospects and customers. Evangelize the Cloudflare Developer Platform (Workers, Workers AI, Durable Objects, R2, D1, KV, Vectorize, Queues, Pages and more) — making the case for customers to build on Cloudflare, not just use it for storage or CDN. Demonstrate your expertise with your peers through the creation of professional content, including reference architectures, demos, blog posts and other knowledge-sharing activities. Represent and evangelize Cloudflare externally at Developer, Community, Technology and Industry events with thought leadership and expertise. Apply in-depth vertical knowledge or domain expertise. Advise on best practices. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience Previous experience as a Solutions Engineer or other customer-facing technical role, ideally selling to or working with developer-led, cloud-native, or startup organizations. A genuine "builder" mindset and the personality to match: you enjoy talking to developers, you're curious, and you naturally gravitate toward technical problem-solving conversations. The ability to speak engineers' language credibly — you can hold your own on architecture, APIs, and platform design — without this being a hands-on, code-every-day developer role. Strong technical discovery instincts: you know how to draw out requirements, qualify fit early, and separate real needs from noise. A good mix of pre-sales / technical sales experience and comfort operating in an agile, fast-moving environment (joining Slack channels, iterating quickly, engaging in early-stage calls, and qualifying deals from the start). Solid communication, written and presentation skills, with the range to talk to both a hands-on developer and a CTO in the same day. Ability to work on several projects and activities concurrently. Highly driven, curious, team-oriented, and able to work with a sense of urgency. You've built web applications before, or contributed to existing web applications in a meaningful way — enough to have real empathy for how developers work. Polished communication and executive presentation skills with the ability to drive a discussion with a broad range of stakeholders (from the web developer to the CTO/CISO). Relationship building: a proven track record of building deep technical relationships with engineers and technical founders. Experience managing various stakeholder relationships to build consensus on technical solutions/projects. Experience managing technical sales within accounts, including developing champion-style relationships, driving technical wins, and assisting with technical validation. Bachelor's Degree or equivalent in relevant work experience. The role requires up to 50% travel to attend meetings with prospects or customers, attend conferences and other industry events, and to collaborate with your Cloudflare teammates. A deep understanding of the Cloudflare Developer Platform and core industry components (and a desire to learn more): The Cloudflare Developer Platform — serverless compute and application development with Workers, Durable Objects, Workers AI, R2, KV, D1, Vectorize, Queues, and Pages. Familiarity with building or architecting applications on a serverless/edge platform is a strong plus. AI/GenAI application patterns — inference at the edge, RAG, vector databases, and how startups are operationalizing AI initiatives. HTTP technologies including reverse proxy (e.g., WAF and CDN), forward proxy (secure web gateway), and serverless application development. Internet security technologies including DDoS and DDoS mitigation, Firewalls, TLS, VPN, DLP. Networking technologies including TCP, UDP, DNS, IPv4 + IPv6, BGP routing, GRE, SD-WAN, MPLS, Global Traffic Management. Zero-trust network access (ZTNA & SASE) concepts including identity management and authentication. Cloud computing technologies such as AWS, GCP, Azure and others. Some scripting or programming familiarity with one or more of JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Golang, BASH — enough to read code, build a demo, and converse with engineers (not to ship production software). Understanding of, or experience with, regulatory requirements such as FedRAMP, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC-2, ISO/IEC. An undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. Reminder: this is not a strict requirement at all. Candidates from all walks of life are welcome. You can translate technical concepts and jargon for a wide variety of audiences: from systems engineers, to front-end developers, through to technical founders and C-levels. You want to be constantly learning new things and teaching what you've learned to the broader team through internal and external blog posts, team demos, and product training sessions. You have a knack for understanding problems and finding creative ways to solve them. Our product suite is ever-growing, and knowing how to identify which parts will solve a customer's particular problem is important. You understand how to manage a project, work to deadlines, and prioritize between competing demands. What Makes Cloudflare Special? We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company.
