Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidates will have a portfolio of work showcasing expert-level UI and product engineering skills
- To be successful, you must have the ability to translate loose product requirements into a prototype, and evolve it into a thoughtful user experience running on polished, performant code
- You must experience working in large-scale applications, and have a strong understanding of system design
- You must care deeply about the quality of your code and the team's code, and bring technical leadership and excellence to the team and your work
- 5+ years professional experience building web applications
- Fluency in React, TypeScript and Javascript, semantic HTML, and modern CSS
- Experience designing and building frontend applications, with ownership from idea to ship
- Solid understanding of cloud primitives and how they work together to build distributed systems
- Experience debugging, optimizing, and identifying failure modes in large-scale frontend applications
- Knowledge of both software engineering and systems engineering
- Deep understanding of internal workings of React.js applications
- Ability to work in cross-functional teams and collaborate effectively with product, design, and design system teams
- Working knowledge of accessibility, performance, and internationalization
- Experience with the responsible use of modern AI and LLM augmented workflows
- Desire to work in a fast-paced environment
What the job involves
- The Cloudflare Dashboard Experience team is a critical part of Cloudflare’s Control Plane Product and has the following areas of focus:
- Build a cohesive, delightful and self-serviceable user journey through the Cloudflare Customer Dashboard for every single user—across all plans, all personas, all roles
- Aim to provide a product that will allow Cloudflare to experience the next level of growth where users can adopt, onboard, and expand their product and feature usage through the dashboard alone, without going through a human Cloudflare representative
- This hybrid role bridges the gap between product engineering and design engineering, requiring both deep technical expertise and a keen eye for design details
- In this role, you will help design, prototype, and develop frontend experiences that improve overall developer experience throughout our dashboard
- You will own your code from inception to release and bring attention to detail to the work you complete for both coding patterns & visual aesthetics
- You can expect to interact with a variety of languages and technologies. We primarily use Typescript, React, and TailwindCSS
- You will collaborate closely with product, design, and systems engineers to build scalable developer experiences across our dashboard
- As engineers at Cloudflare, we are always customer zero for our products. From cache configuration to Cloudflare Access to Cloudflare Workers, we use them daily in our work
Our take
Cloudflare is a multi-service global network that provides web security and infrastructure, DDoS mitigation services, and a content delivery network. Founded in 2009, Cloudflare has risen to become an industry giant, with over 25 million global internet properties on its network.
Cloudflare has been responsible for a number of admirable initiatives, offering free web protection to human rights groups, journalists, artists, and US election websites. This goes some way to counteracting the flak Cloudflare has received in some circles for the controversial groups and users who use its services. This chequered history, however, has not affected its over 80% market share in the content delivery network field.
This is perhaps in part because it has proven sharp at staying abreast of the rapidly morphing tech and digital space and customer demands. For example, Cloudflare is shifting to 100% renewable energy usage to create a zero-emissions internet, and in 2020 released a feature that would help users navigate data privacy regulations by selecting where their data is stored.
And impressive third-quarter 2025 results show strong momentum, with revenue rising to $562 million from $430 million a year earlier. The company also raised its full-year guidance, underscoring confidence in continued growth. As demand for secure, cloud-based infrastructure keeps growing, Cloudflare's expanding platform and improving efficiency leave it well positioned to capture further gains in a rapidly growing market.
