Company mission
To help build a better Internet that is bold and ambitious.
Role
Who you are
- Extensive experience with React, TypeScript, and modern CSS frameworks
- Experience building complex data UIs, such as SQL editors, query builders, or monitoring dashboards
- A track record of taking ownership of large-scale product surfaces and driving them from internal beta to GA
- While you are a frontend specialist, you have a solid understanding of SQL and the data lifecycle (ingestion, storage, and querying)
- A passion for making complex infrastructure simple and accessible through great design and thoughtful UX
- Compensation
What the job involves
- Media Platform is part of Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI), where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a massively successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers
- Cloudflare’s edge and network make it possible to solve problems at massive scale and efficiency which would be impossible for almost any other organization
- The Cloudflare Data Platform team is building a complete, serverless solution for ingesting, storing, and querying analytical data at a petabyte scale. We are moving toward an aggressive General Availability (GA) date in Summer 2026, and we are looking for a frontend expert to define how users interact with their data
- Our platform consists of three core pillars:
- Cloudflare Pipelines: Receives events via Workers or HTTP, transforms them with SQL, and ingests them into Iceberg or R2
- R2 Data Catalog: Manages Iceberg metadata and performs automated maintenance and compaction to ensure peak query performance
- R2 SQL: Our in-house distributed SQL engine, designed to perform petabyte-scale queries over data stored in R2
- As a Senior Frontend Engineer for the Data Platform, you will have a massive scope to shape the UI/UX across our entire ecosystem. This isn't just about building dashboards; it’s about creating a seamless developer experience across the Cloudflare Dashboard, the Wrangler CLI, Terraform, and Python notebooks
- You will be the primary owner of the visual and interactive surface area for our data products, ensuring that complex analytical workflows feel intuitive, fast, and powerful
- Own the end-to-end user experience within the Cloudflare Dashboard for Pipelines, R2 Data Catalog, and our custom R2 SQL editor
- Design and implement Wrangler commands that allow developers to interact with their data platform directly from the terminal
- Build Workers Bindings for R2 Data Catalog and R2 SQL, making it effortless for developers to query their data directly from the edge
- Work closely with our distributed systems engineers to bridge the gap between our high-performance SQL engine and the end-user interface
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.
