Drive go-to-market strategy for security products by creating field enablement materials and leading customer conversations bridging R&D and sales. | Deep technical expertise in browser automation, security, networking, with proven product management or marketing experience and ability to communicate complex ideas. | 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.

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: Austin or London (Hybrid) About the Role More than 50% of Internet traffic is automated. Knowing who's human, who's an agent, and who's a malicious actor is core to Cloudflare's strategy, and one of the primary values we sell to our Customers. We're building the products that answer "can we trust this traffic?" and our story is differentiated, but the demand is outpacing the number of experts who can tell our story. This role will drive the solution to this challenge. We think of this as the next generation of product marketing, built for a technical product and rebuilt as a part of the Product team. At Cloudflare, PMs are the first sellers, and own their own launches, content, and enablement. This role, like the rest of the team, will be both deep in R&D as well as in the field driving real Customer conversations, feeling firsthand what lands, and turning that into the enablement, materials, and programs the entire field runs on. Your credibility comes from carrying the pitch yourself. You will work directly with the Director of Product and across the PMs who lead each product line. As a member of the product team, your work in the field shapes the strategy and the narrative. You own how far and how fast that story travels, and how well the field can carry it on its own. What you'll do Own the field's ability to win. Build the enablement that lets any account team lead a conversation about agents, bots, attackers, or fraud, end to end. This includes training, playbooks, battlecards, demo environments, proof-of-concept guides, competitive intelligence, and certification. You are measured by how capable you make the entire field, and by how much you free up product experts to build rather than sell. Carry the pitch as a member of the Product team. Join and drive real Customer calls. This keeps your enablement grounded in what actually works. You will stand up and orchestrate a bench of field subject-matter experts who scale this well beyond one person. Amplify our story. Our space is presented through some of the most engaging material in the company, closer to an interactive application than a slide deck. You will extend and evolve that into assets the field can run on its own, and produce new material of the same caliber. Who you are You are deep enough on the technology to earn a room's trust. You can explain, or learn how to explain, how browser automation differs from a headless browser or a credential-stuffing run, where TLS fingerprinting and JavaScript challenges and ML scoring fit into a layered defense, and, most importantly, where security, user experience, and privacy actually trade off against each other. You are deep enough on the technology to earn a room's trust. You may not know our exact stack or space, yet, but you can already reason about things like how browser automation differs from a headless browser, where TLS fingerprinting and JavaScript challenges and ML scoring fit into a layered defense, and where security, user experience, and privacy actually trade off against each other. You have done Product or Product Marketing and wanted more of it. More time with Customers, more technical depth, more ownership of whether the field actually wins. You are looking to drive the conversation first-hand, and not behind the scenes. You have sold or evangelized hard technical products to real Customers, and you want to keep doing it, because you know a message is only true once it survives contact with a skeptical buyer. You can make a complicated idea land with a practitioner and an executive in the same afternoon, in writing, on a call, or on stage, without dumbing it down. You judge yourself by how good the people around you get. You have built the training, the playbook, or the program that made a whole team better at something hard, and you take more pride in ten strong sellers than in being the expert everyone has to call. You go deep on one thing and make it excellent, rather than stretching across ten related things until none of them are sharp. You can build the demo yourself. You are comfortable enough with AI harnesses or Python, JavaScript, or Bash to stand up a concept of your own. Nice to have Experience selling, marketing, or evangelizing bot management, anti-fraud, or application security. Familiarity with Cloudflare's broader platform (WAF, CDN, Zero Trust, Workers) and how Bot Management fits with each. Hands-on experience deploying Bot Management, Turnstile, or similar in production. A track record of standing up field enablement or subject-matter-expert programs from scratch. Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location. Equity This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.

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.

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.

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: Austin, Texas About the role Created in January 2025, our centralized Developer Go-to-Market (GTM) organization functions as a "speedboat" to maintain focus, control direction, and iterate quickly. Our mission is to build long-term relationships with developers by addressing their unique needs and challenges with specialized attention and resources. Our team operates across four core pillars: Marketing, Developer Relations, Growth Programs, and Sales. These functions work in close collaboration to support customers throughout their journey, from raising awareness and inspiring new use cases to driving platform adoption, consumption, and scaling customer relationships. Each function amplifies the impact of the others through strategic partnerships and shared insights. What you'll do You'll own the GTM-facing software and data products our sales motion runs on, end to end. That includes the data foundation underneath it and the signals that flag which accounts a rep should act on and when. You'll also lead our hardest cross-functional projects, the ones that span many teams and systems. You'll drive them to delivery, keep partner teams on track, and do it with a lot of autonomy. Day to day you'll improve how we visualize pipeline, build sales tools that flag the right moment to reach out to a customer, and make the developer buying journey smoother. The work is a mix of data engineering, full-stack product, and applied AI, and you'll build it on Cloudflare's own developer platform. This role fits someone who works well in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, likes turning messy business problems into working software, and can juggle several priorities at once. Responsibilities Design and implement features in a Golang, Typescript and SQL. Build and operate production services on Cloudflare Workers and Kubernetes. Own the data foundation including Query Engine, Workflows, MCP/APIs and other internal facing products and services. Own projects end to end; from design docs and schema changes through implementation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring. 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.

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. About the Role Cloudflare runs one of the world's largest networks, and every API call that configures it, from any customer, integration, or internal service, starts by proving who is calling and what they're allowed to do. The IAM team owns the authentication and authorization systems behind that: the identity layer of the Control Plane operating at global scale. Our surface spans things like login and SSO, OAuth and API tokens, account membership, roles and permissions, and SCIM provisioning. We're hiring a hands-on senior engineer to work on correctness-critical, high-throughput, highly resilient services. You'll own surfaces end-to-end, chase down hard problems with high agency, and improve systems while they're serving production traffic. Responsibilities Feature development: design and build high-throughput, low-latency IAM capabilities that power both customer-facing and internal service APIs. System evolution: contribute to the design and evolution of our authentication and authorization systems into modern, distributed, and edge-capable architectures. API and system design: translate product and security requirements into robust, well-structured APIs and technical specifications in collaboration with Product, Security, and UX teams. Engineering excellence: maintain a high bar through thorough code reviews, technical design documents, and collaborative problem-solving. Operational stewardship: own the reliability of the platform under constant load, ensuring observability and resilience are built into every service. AI-assisted development: use AI tools throughout your workflow, from code generation to debugging, and bring the judgment to know when to trust them. 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).

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. For NYC based hires: Estimated annual salary of $230,000 - $317,000 For Bay Area based hires: Estimated annual salary of $220,000 - $303,000 Equity This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.
