To help build a better Internet that is bold and ambitious.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial-minded and thrives in a fast-paced and goal-driven environment
- You have outstanding communication and collaboration skills and are able to work with a diverse group, get alignment, and drive the product forward
- You are execution focused and emphasize getting things done while paying attention to important details
- Proven track record of shipping developer-facing products from ideation to launch, 3+ years of professional experience working on technology products
- Strong knowledge of JavaScript, the NPM ecosystem, and web standards. You have built things in JavaScript and enjoy immersing yourself in the JavaScript community, engaging with new standards, libraries, and frameworks
- Developer focus — you’ll be working directly, and often be a part of the customers team in helping them get their initial implementation off the ground
- Strong technical abilities. You are intimately familiar with modern software development practices used to build and deploy applications. You are capable of wading into the details & understanding engineering decisions’ impact on the product, but can also drive 30k foot view
- A desire to sweat the details and ship great developer experiences
- A love for talking to developers at organizations both large and small on a daily basis so that you can build and ship products that solve real problems
- 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
What the job involves
- We announced Cloudflare Workers in 2017 — since then it’s played a key role in Cloudflare’s strategy for entering the compute market
- Until the launch of Workers, as Cloudflare was ramping up its capabilities in the performance and security spaces, it became clear that developers needed more ways to control the edge than rules engines could support
- Workers has grown from a simple functions-as-a-service option into a complete full-stack platform — and with this comes the need to support a broader set of Runtime APIs
- This spans a wide range, from TC39 standards, to Node.js APIs, to web standards
- We played a key role in forming WinterCG, and there’s still much work to do to grow a shared base of APIs across runtimes — to push forward the ecosystem and ease the burden on open-source maintainers of supporting multiple runtimes
- Drive the strategy and roadmap for JavaScript APIs in the Cloudflare Workers Runtime
- Lead new APIs from ideation through launch, and continuing through ongoing maintenance and support
- Guide teams both internal and external on developing new JavaScript APIs in Workers, including first-party Cloudflare products and external libraries seeking to increase compatibility
- Develop and nurture key external relationships with open-source maintainers, and ensure their needs are heard and acted on
- Partner with other departments such as Product Marketing, Marketing, Community & developer advocacy, Sales, and Customer Support to drive adoption with and gather feedback from customers and prospects
- Ruthlessly prioritize across a complex environment of diverse customers, stakeholders and objectives
- Represent the company externally as needed, including meetings with customers, speaking at external events, participating in WinterCG and more
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.
