Job Description
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. 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.
Available Locations: Hybrid - Austin, Denver, Atlanta
About the Department
Cloudflare’s Engineering Team builds and runs the software that handles about 10% of HTTP requests on the Internet today. We also build and run the internal tools that builds and runs our software. The Engineering Team is split into two groups: one handles product development and the other handles operations. Product development covers both new features and functionality and scaling our existing software to meet the challenges of a massively growing customer base. The operations team handles one of the world’s largest networks with data centers in 102 cities worldwide.
What you’ll do
As a Senior Software Engineer on the team, you will build the foundational services that enable the world’s largest organizations to run on Cloudflare. You will be responsible for the APIs, UIs, internal tooling, and admin platforms that help manage complex enterprise logic at scale. More specifically, there will be a heavy focus on scaling and extending our Organizations model - the new abstraction for our largest customers and partners to manage Cloudflare.
While this is a full-stack role, our roadmap for the coming year is weighted toward backend architecture and systems design . You will spend your time helping design our data models, architecting high-performance services in Go , optimizing our PostgreSQL layer, and ensuring our services are resilient within our Kubernetes ecosystem.
You won't just ship features; you will also own the "operational excellence" of your services. You’ll use tools like Jaeger, Sentry, and Kibana to troubleshoot complex distributed traces and ensure our platform remains highly available for our external and internal customers.
You will also rapidly expand your domain knowledge and ability to deliver change through AI tooling. Cloudflare is ramping up its support and infrastructure for AI development tools like OpenCode. Which, connected to everything safely possible with MCPs, is enabling engineers to have greater impact, faster than ever.
