This person will help Solutions Architects, Forward Deployed Engineers, Professional Services, and Developer GTM leadership identify the right customer opportunities, organize technical GTM work, and turn high-value customer engagement into repeatable programs and operating rhythms. The Developer GTM Strategy & Incubation function exists to evolve the way the Developer GTM team works, designing systems, processes, and GTM motions that accelerate consumption at Cloudflare. This role is focused on the technical side of that motion: where we should spend time, how we coordinate technical resources, how we run customer-facing programs, and how we measure whether technical work is driving the right business outcomes. The right person is a high-agency operator with strong technical fluency. They do not need to be a Solutions Architect, but they should be comfortable working with technical products, customer architectures, implementation workflows, developer platforms, and customer-facing technical teams. Responsibilities Build and scale technical programs: Design proactive programs for Solutions Architects, Forward Deployed Engineers, and related technical GTM teams. Turn ad hoc motions into repeatable playbooks, operating rhythms, and ownership models where it makes sense. Coordinate strategic customer engagement: Project manage high-priority customer initiatives that require technical GTM support. Clarify goals, stakeholders, timelines, resourcing, risks, success criteria, and follow-up. Plan and scale technical onsite visits: Build the planning model for strategic customer onsites, including intake, agenda design, staffing, prep, execution, post-onsite follow-up, and measurement. Improve prioritization and visibility: Own a clear view of active technical engagements, upcoming opportunities, blockers, outcomes, and resourcing needs. Partner with Revenue Engineering, Data, Sales Strategy, and technical leaders on account propensity, engagement tracking, dashboards, and operating reviews. Support Professional Services packaging and commercialization: Partner with Professional Services, Finance, Product, Sales Strategy, and GTM leaders on pricing, packaging, business cases, rollout plans, and feedback loops for technical services offerings. Incubate and launch new technical programs: Lead high-priority projects across Developer GTM, support team planning and process improvements, turn technical activity into clear business narratives, and incubate new motions until they are measurable and ready for durable ownership. Examples of projects this person may own Build a proactive SA/FDE engagement program for a priority customer segment or product motion. Partner on an account propensity model that helps determine SA/FDE prioritization, resourcing, and account coverage. Stand up a technical engagement tracker for active customer work, resourcing, blockers, and outcomes. Design the planning and follow-up model for technical onsite visits with strategic customers. Partner with Professional Services to package a repeatable services motion and build the business case for rollout. What Success Looks Like Solutions Architects and FDEs have a clearer operating model for proactive programs and strategic customer engagements. Leadership has a reliable view of technical revenue pipeline, engagement health, account propensity, and investment ROI. Strategic customer initiatives and technical onsite visits move faster because goals, staffing, owners, success criteria, and follow-up are clear. Professional Services offerings are easier to understand, price, package, and align to Cloudflare's broader consumption-led strategy. New technical GTM motions move from ambiguous ideas to measurable programs with durable owners. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience At Cloudflare, we know that great candidates come from diverse backgrounds with non-linear paths. You don’t need to tick every single box to be right for this role. If you are excited about building a better Internet and ready to make an impact, please apply. 6+ years of experience in GTM strategy, business operations, revenue operations, technical program management, solutions strategy, consulting, or a similar cross-functional execution role. Experience working with technical customer-facing teams such as Solutions Architects, Sales Engineers, Forward Deployed Engineers, Professional Services, Customer Engineering, Developer Relations, or Product. Strong technical fluency, including the ability to understand customer architecture discussions, implementation tradeoffs, developer platform concepts, and the operating needs of technical GTM teams. Strong program management ability, including managing complex work streams, driving accountability without direct authority, and keeping teams aligned under pressure. Strong sense of ownership; someone who takes initiative, works independently, and manages time effectively. Excellent cross-functional communication skills and the ability to influence and align stakeholders at all levels. Highly customer-centric, with natural curiosity about technical products and a strategic mindset for solving complex problems. Comfortable working under pressure and adjusting priorities to meet deadlines in a fast-moving environment. Strong analytical skills, including comfort using spreadsheets, CRM data, and business dashboards to prioritize work and inform decisions. Prior experience with Salesforce CRM, Tableau, BigQuery, or BoostUp is a plus. Background in SaaS or Product-Led Growth (PLG) is a strong plus.

We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare. Come join us! About the Department Cloudflare’s engineering teams build and maintain the systems and products that power our global platform. A global platform which is within approximately 50 milliseconds of about 95% of the Internet connected population, serving on average, over 46 million HTTP requests per second. About the Team Delivering this platform with high performance and efficiency depends on advanced Linux kernel and hardware capabilities, and that is where this team works. The Performance Team owns overall system and application performance across that fleet: resource optimization, instrumentation, and the tooling that lets us see what the hardware is actually doing. System memory sits alongside CPU cycles, network processing, and storage IOPS as a first-class resource, and how the kernel manages it is increasingly the thing that decides how hot we can safely run every machine we own. We work upstream first. Several of us maintain or regularly contribute to the Linux kernel, and our default is to fix problems in mainline rather than carry private patches. This role is built on that principle. The problem you would own Using memory efficiently is one of the highest-leverage problems we have. At our scale, how the kernel's memory-management subsystem behaves under pressure has direct consequences for both performance and cost. As DRAM prices climb, getting more out of the memory we already own is a real lever on infrastructure spend. Using custom low-overhead instrumentation on production servers, we have identified several scalability bottlenecks in the kernel memory layer that show up under real workloads. We are looking for an expert to take on these problems, fix them against production workloads, and drive the changes upstream. Solving them lifts efficiency and latency across the entire fleet rather than in one place. What you will do Diagnose and fix performance and scalability bottlenecks in the Linux kernel memory-management subsystem, informed by real production telemetry at a scale few environments can offer. Land your work upstream. We expect MM changes to go to mainline first and want you to keep doing the maintainership and review work that earns standing in the community. Build and extend low-overhead kernel instrumentation (tracepoints, BPF, perf) so we keep measuring before we change, and prove the impact afterwards. Partner with kernel, networking, storage, and product engineers across the company to turn observed system behavior into concrete MM improvements. Set technical direction for how Cloudflare uses, tunes, and evolves kernel memory management as we push utilization higher. Requirements Deep expertise in the Linux kernel memory-management subsystem: the page allocator, virtual memory and memory mapping, reclaim, and the locking and concurrency that hold it together. A track record of upstream Linux contribution, ideally including maintainership or sustained work in MM or an adjacent subsystem. Strong systems programming in C, with the judgement to make high-risk changes to shared infrastructure safely. Ability to dive deep into a complex codebase while keeping the fleet-wide picture in mind, and to own a problem and its outcome rather than a single patch. Clear communication with engineers across many teams, since the symptoms of an MM problem usually show up far from the MM code. Bonuses Strong understanding of Linux kernel internals pertaining to memory management Experience troubleshooting and resolving performance issues in large-scale distributed systems. Experience with large scale configuration/deployment management. What Makes Cloudflare Special? We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company.

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 Workers Runtime team delivers features and improvements to our Runtime which actually executes customer code at the edge. We care deeply about increasing performance, improving JS API surface area and compiled language support through WebAssembly, and optimizing to meet the next 10x increase in scale. The Runtime is a hostile environment - system resources such as memory, cpu, I/O, etc need to be managed extremely carefully and security must be foundational in everything we do. Our work is deeply systems-oriented. We build and maintain the C++ and Rust codebase that embeds the JavaScript engine, manages isolate lifecycles, enforces resource limits (CPU, memory, I/O), and orchestrates how customer scripts are loaded, cached, and executed. We operate in a hostile multi-tenant environment where security must be foundational — from side-channel attack mitigations to isolate sandboxing — and performance is measured in microseconds. Responsibilities You will lead the Workers Runtime - Edge team, owning the runtime service in production across Cloudflare’s fleet and driving the architectural evolution of the platform. Lead a team of senior systems engineers working in C++ and Rust on one of Cloudflare’s most performance-critical and security-sensitive services. Drive major infrastructure initiatives, including migrating legacy systems, redesigning core abstractions, and laying the groundwork for next-generation runtime architecture. Own reliability and release safety for a service handling tens of millions of requests per second. Improve release processes, invest in health monitoring and automated rollback, and help the team ship changes confidently at scale. Make prioritisation calls between customer-unblocking feature work and foundational investment in security, reliability, and developer velocity. Partner closely with adjacent teams across the Developer Platform to ensure the runtime supports the broader product roadmap, including compute, storage, networking, and observability. Hire, grow, and develop strong systems engineers; set clear expectations, provide technical mentorship, and create an environment where people do their best work. Desirable Skills, Knowledge & Experience Experience leading a team. Comfortable leading and hiring a team that builds low-level distributed systems. Strong planning skills, with experience creating teams and overseeing execution to meet commitments predictably. Comfortable building developer-loved APIs that scale. Track record of leading a team through hiring, onboarding, and professional development. Ability to explain both the “why” and the “how.” Experience implementing tools, process improvements, internal instrumentation, methodologies, and resolving blockages. At least 4 years of recent professional experience with C++ or Rust. Solid understanding of computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented or functional design. Deep understanding of the web and technologies such as web browsers, HTTP, JavaScript, and WebAssembly. Strong understanding of Linux systems programming, process models, and networking. Bonus Points Experience building high-performance distributed systems. Experience working with cloud platforms, especially server-less platforms. Experience with the internals of JS engines such as V8, SpiderMonkey, or JavaScriptCore. Experience with standalone WebAssembly runtimes such as Wasmtime, Wasmer, Lucet, etc. Deep Linux/UNIX systems, kernel, or networking knowledge. Contributions to large open source projects. Experience working in low-latency real-time environments such as game streaming, game engine architecture, high-frequency trading, or payment systems. Experience debugging, optimizing, and identifying failure modes in a large-scale Linux-based distributed system. Compensation Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location. ● For New York City, New Jersey, Washington, Washington DC, and California (excluding Bay Area) based hires: Estimated annual salary of $220,000 - $303,000 ● For Portugal based hires: Estimated annual salary is between €89,000 - €122,000.

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 | Austin, US About the Role Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is 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. R2 is Cloudflare's object storage platform, offering developers durable, reliable storage that integrates seamlessly with Cloudflare's global network and Developer Platform. The R2 Metadata team owns the metadata layer that underpins every R2 operation, every object put, get, list, and delete flows through the systems we build and operate. R2 is growing rapidly, and the metadata layer must evolve to keep pace. The team is responsible for designing and operating the metadata systems that track every object in R2, building and shipping developer-facing features, and ensuring the reliability and performance of these systems at global scale. You'll be joining a team that operates at the intersection of distributed databases, large scale storage infrastructure, and edge computing; building systems that need to be correct, fast, and reliable. Responsibilities Design and implement features in a metadata system, backed by a distributed SQL DB, that serves every R2 API operation, ensuring correctness, performance, and compatibility with the S3 API surface. Build and operate production services on Cloudflare Workers and Kubernetes that handle high throughput metadata operations with strong consistency and durability guarantees. Own the schema, data model, and query patterns for a metadata layer managing billions of objects across multiple distributed database clusters. Own projects end to end; from design docs and schema changes through implementation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring. Participate in oncall rotations, drive incident resolution, and write postmortems that improve reliability. Use AI tools extensively to accelerate development, debugging, and operational tasks. We expect engineers to leverage AI as a core part of their workflow. Collaborate across teams (storage infrastructure, networking, other platform teams) to coordinate capacity planning, API contracts, and cross cutting initiatives. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience Strong programming skills in TypeScript, Go, or similar languages. Experience with distributed databases; schema design, query optimization, indexing strategies, and understanding consistency/performance tradeoffs at scale. Experience building or operating large scale distributed systems with strong reliability requirements. Familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts such as object storage, edge computing, or service oriented architectures. Understanding of reliability and observability practices: monitoring, alerting, performance tuning, and incident response. Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain technical decisions clearly and coordinate across teams. Comfortable working with AI coding tools as part of a daily development workflow. Experience with Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, or edge computing platforms is a strong plus.

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 Austin, US Atlanta, GA Denver, CO Seattle, WA Applications will be accepted until November 01, 2026. About the Role Cloudflare operates one of the world's largest and most interconnected networks, spanning 335+ cities across every region of the globe. We are looking for a Senior Network Engineer to join our Edge Network & Backbone team — someone who brings deep operational experience, an AI-first mindset, and the instinct to mentor and lift the engineers around them. In your first year, this role is deliberately hands-on: you'll be in the operational trenches, owning complex faults, driving capacity work, and setting the standard for how we run the network. Beyond that, you'll help shape how the team works — building AI-enabled tooling and agents that reduce toil, accelerate troubleshooting, and make the whole team more effective. This is a North American based role, but you'll be joining one global team: the sun never sets on Cloudflare, and our engineers hand off work across every time zone to keep the network running around the clock. Responsibilities Own the technical operation, engineering, and architecture of Cloudflare's global network, including planning, installation, and day-to-day management of hardware and software across the edge and backbone. Serve as a hands-on operational anchor for the team — diagnosing and resolving complex network faults, owning incident response end-to-end including on-call rotation, and contributing to post-incident reviews to drive continuous improvement. Build production AI agents for network operations. Design, ship, and own LLM-powered tools that integrate with our operational systems of record via tool calling. Ship them with evals, observability of agent decisions, cost tracking, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints where autonomous action carries blast radius. Apply AI to accelerate troubleshooting. Use and extend our internal AI platform (Workers AI, AI Gateway) to speed up root cause analysis, pattern recognition across faults, and operational decision-making under pressure. Architect network improvements that lower latency, reduce packet loss, and increase scale — optimising end user experience across Cloudflare's global infrastructure. Mentor and develop junior engineers on the team, setting technical standards, conducting structured troubleshooting sessions, and building a culture of operational excellence and continuous learning. Collaborate with internal teams on cross-functional network projects, contributing to design documentation, SOPs, and knowledge base articles that outlast any individual contributor. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience Proven track record in large-scale network engineering and operations. Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript and/or Go sufficient to build, debug, and maintain agent code, not just to glue scripts together. Working knowledge of agent integration patterns: function/tool calling, MCP or equivalent, retrieval over operational corpora (runbooks, postmortems, change history), and prompt iteration with evals. Experience reasoning about agent failure modes in production: hallucination guards, fallback paths, rollback, blast-radius control. Deep expertise in BGP and anycast routing, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex routing issues in a production environment. Strong understanding of MPLS and Segment Routing. Proficiency across multiple network vendor operating systems (Juniper, Cisco, Arista, or similar). Experience with network automation frameworks such as SaltStack, Ansible, or equivalent, and a strong instinct for solving operational problems through code. Ability to prioritise effectively and lead calmly when faced with high-pressure scenarios. An effective communicator who can adapt their style to any audience — whether guiding a junior engineer through a fault or presenting a network architecture decision to senior leadership. Bonus Points Shipped LLM-powered tooling into production use by a team other than your own, with measurable operational impact. Professional-level network certification (JNCIP, CCNP, or equivalent or higher). Experience with optical transport technologies such as CWDM and DWDM. Linux system administration. Experience writing network configuration and design documentation at an architectural level. Compensation Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location. For Colorado based hires: Estimated annual salary of $168,000 - $231,000 Washington, based hires: Estimated annual salary of $172,000 - $237,000.

Cloudforce One works in close partnership with external organizations and internal Cloudflare teams, continuously developing operational tradecraft and expanding ever-growing sources of threat intelligence to enable expedited threat hunting and remediation. Members of Cloudforce One are at the helm of leveraging an incredibly vast and varied set of data points that only one of the world's largest global networks can provide. The team is able to analyze these unique data points, at massive scale and efficiency, synthesizing findings into actionable threat intelligence to better protect our customers. Cloudflare's Trust & Safety team is the frontline defense against platform abuse — phishing, malware distribution, fraud, and content that undermines the safety of the internet. Together, these teams form a unified capability: from tracking an adversary's infrastructure to dismantling it at network scale. What you'll do Cloudflare is a system spanning the globe, on a mission to make the internet better, safer, and more powerful every day. We are looking for a Principal Engineer who is equal parts architect, threat analyst, and disruptor — someone who doesn't just build systems but fundamentally rethinks how we detect, analyze, and neutralize threats across one of the world's largest networks. This is not a role that lives in a single team or a single codebase. You will operate across the full breadth of Cloudflare Products, diving into whatever problem is most critical — whether that's redesigning a detection pipeline in Kubernetes, deploying a new mitigation capability at the edge via Workers, building agentic AI workflows that automate analyst tradecraft, or architecting a data system that processes trillions of signals per day. You will be the person teams turn to when the problem is ambiguous, the architecture is complex, and the adversary is sophisticated. Our ideal candidate has deep technical expertise in distributed systems architecture and an equally deep understanding of how threat actors operate — their tactics, techniques, procedures, and infrastructure. You think like an attacker and build like an engineer who has been burned by production incidents at 3 AM. You are energized by hard problems, impatient with the status quo, and have a track record of shipping solutions that others said couldn't be done. This role may require flexibility to be on-call outside of standard working hours to address technical issues as needed. Responsibilities Drive architectural direction and technical strategy across Cloudforce One engineering, spanning services that run in Kubernetes, on the edge (Workers, D1), and across Cloudflare's global network. Identify and dismantle technical bottlenecks, legacy patterns, and architectural debt that slow down threat detection and abuse response — then replace them with systems that are faster, more reliable, and more elegant. Design and build critical data pipelines and services to collect, enrich, analyze, and expose threat intelligence and abuse signals at massive scale, helping identify Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Serve as a technical force multiplier across multiple concurrent projects — you will context-switch between threat intelligence platforms, abuse detection systems, legal response tooling, and customer-facing security products as priorities demand. Bring a threat-informed perspective to engineering decisions: understand how adversaries adapt, how detection rules degrade, and how to build systems that stay ahead of evolving attack techniques. Collaborate with Threat Intelligence researchers, Trust & Safety analysts, Product, Legal, and other engineering teams to translate complex security and compliance requirements into scalable, production-grade solutions. Mentor and elevate the engineering talent around you — set the bar for code quality, system design, operational rigor, and security-first thinking across both organizations. Develop and champion agentic AI workflows and AI-assisted development practices that accelerate threat hunting, detection engineering, and abuse investigation. Own the operational excellence of the systems you touch, including participation in on-call rotations and incident response. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience: 15+ years of cyber security experience with an emphasis on building systems to present adversarial trends and techniques both as an internal reputational service and a product facing analyst service. 10+ years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems in production, with demonstrated expertise in complex system architecture and design. Deep, hands-on proficiency in Go and/or TypeScript, with production experience deploying services in Kubernetes and on edge computing platforms (e.g., Cloudflare Workers, D1/SQLite-at-the-edge). Subject matter expertise in threat intelligence, adversarial analysis, or detection engineering — you understand the Cyber Kill Chain, know how to track TTPs, and can reason about attacker infrastructure at scale. Proven ability to work across organizational boundaries and lead technical initiatives that span multiple teams, codebases, and problem domains simultaneously. Experience with AI-assisted development and agentic AI workflows. Strong architectural judgment — you know when to build, when to refactor, and when to burn it down and start over. Experience designing and operating critical data pipelines (Kafka, Temporal, or similar) and working with SQL databases (PostgreSQL) and caching layers (Redis) at scale. Excellent communication skills — you can explain a complex system design to a VP and debug a race condition with a junior engineer in the same afternoon. A track record as a disruptor: you have examples of fundamentally improving how a team, system, or organization operates, not just shipping features. Bonus Points: Experience in the Trust & Safety or platform abuse domain — phishing detection, malware analysis, fraud prevention, or content moderation at scale. Proficiency in writing detection rules using YARA, Snort, or similar detection languages. Experience analyzing adversary TTPs across web-based threat vectors, including phishing obfuscation techniques (HTML encoding, JavaScript redirects, Base64, embedded scripts). Familiarity with Rust. Experience with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code practices. Prior experience building threat intelligence platforms, IOC distribution systems, or automated mitigation pipelines. Experience with React for internal tooling and analyst-facing applications. Deep understanding of DNS, TLS/SSL, HTTP, and web security standards.
