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.
We realize people do not fit into neat boxes. We are looking for curious and empathetic individuals who are committed to developing themselves and learning new skills, and we are ready to help you do that. We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare. Come join us!
About the team
The Magic Cloud Networking team builds an orchestration framework that empowers customers to take public cloud resources (e.g., AWS / Azure / GCP) and securely connect them to Cloudflare’s global data-center footprint. Working with public cloud networking resources provides unique challenges—each cloud models networking very differently, customers can modify resources out-of-band of our orchestration system (“shadow IT operations”), resources can fail in opaque and varied ways outside of our control, etc.. To solve these issues, our orchestration platform must be resilient and scalable, while also affording flexibility to the unique constraints of each cloud. Powering this orchestration framework is a set of Go-based microservices running in our core data-centers, leveraging Cloudflare’s infrastructure excellence.
We are a team of engineers who obsess over building reliable services which leverage Cloudflare’s unique architecture and global network footprint.

What Makes Cloudflare Special?
We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.
Project Galileo: We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost.
Athenian Project: We created Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration.
1.1.1.1: We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here’s the deal - we don’t store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.

Cloudflare has historically been an in-office, yet globally distributed company. We are now evolving into a hybrid model that is even more distributed, with a commitment to maintaining an equitable and inclusive workplace for all.
We are now hiring for in-office, remote and hybrid opportunities across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
We are principled. Our mission to help build a better Internet is bold and ambitious, and we take it seriously. We create our products and features with a global mindset and democratize important and innovative technologies that drive adoption of the latest standards.
We are curious. Our team is made up of pioneering innovators that approach some of the Internet’s toughest challenges with interest and a desire to learn. We are committed to providing exceptional customer service and solving customer problems in clever and technically astute ways.
We are transparent. We don’t believe in withholding vital information from our customers, but instead prioritize clear and open communication at all times. Most importantly, we hold ourselves accountable when we make mistakes—and we do everything we can to learn from them.
At Cloudflare, we have strived to create and uphold an inclusive culture and a workplace where employees feel comfortable and empowered to bring their genuine selves to work so they can do their best work. If that’s what you’re looking for, then you came to the right place!
Our six Cloudflare capabilities serve as our core values and the building blocks of an inclusive culture. They outline the behaviors we consider when measuring success, giving feedback, and rewarding performance.
When we evaluate performance, we review “what” the outcome is, the results. However, we also consider “how” we work and what good looks like, the behaviors. It doesn’t just matter what you do, but how you do it.
