What You'll Do
At most companies, you build applications “in” the Cloud - here at Cloudflare we’re building a Cloud; a uniquely performant, globally distributed and highly available Cloud. In this role, you will lead a team of passionate and talented engineers that are building the internal Control Plane used by our SREs to manage our internal IaaS platform. You will be responsible for tools that support the management of a growing, globally distributed fleet of servers, storage, and network gear spread across a thousand colos worldwide. You will play an active part in shaping the future of the infrastructure that propels Cloudflare’s scale and growth.

You bring a passion for meeting business needs by building technical, innovative solutions. You excel to understand how big-picture goals inform technical details. You thrive in a fast-paced iterative engineering environment. You build great relationships with your stakeholders and deeply understand their needs. Most importantly, you have a track record of having past teams respect you as both a technical leader and manager.

• Excel at planning, creating teams and overseeing execution to meet commitments and deliver with predictability.
• Demonstrate a track record of leading a team including hiring, onboarding, and professional development. You inspire your team to reach higher. You’re as good as explaining “why” as you are “how.”

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 : Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries 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 : In 2017, we created the 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. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.

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.
