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.

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. 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!

At Cloudflare, we have an ambitious goal: to help build a better Internet. Our global network powers trillions of requests per month, securing and accelerating applications without requiring additional hardware, software, or code changes. Our Developer Platform, including Cloudflare Workers, Workers AI, R2, KV, Durable Objects, and Pages, is redefining how developers build and deploy applications at scale.

About the Team

The GTM Developer team is a startup within Cloudflare, driving the go-to-market strategy for our developer products and shaping the future of application development. We are at the forefront of a fundamental shift in how developers build, particularly with the rise of AI and LLMs. Our mission is to evolve beyond traditional developer relations and create a new paradigm for how developers adopt and succeed with cutting-edge technology. We are a team of builders and storytellers, passionate about empowering developers and helping build a better Internet.

What you'll do

We are seeking an engineering leader with an entrepreneurial mindset to guide our Developer Adoption team. This is not a traditional developer relations role. We’re looking for a former VP of Engineering, CTO, or a similar leader who has built things and understands the developer journey from the inside out. You will be tasked with iteratively defining the future of your own role and the function itself, translating market signals into a strategic, evolving organization. In this role, you will:

• Provide the vision and engineering leadership to redefine how Cloudflare engages with the developer community in the age of AI.

• Lead and mentor our existing high-performing team of developer advocates, educators, and community managers, guiding their evolution and impact.

• Operate with "startup energy"—acting with autonomy and hunger to carry significant responsibility and drive our developer GTM strategy.

• Champion the developer experience, engaging with peers across Product and Engineering to translate community feedback into a world-class platform.

• Act as a key evangelist and storyteller, articulating a compelling and optimistic vision for the future of development on Cloudflare.

• Cultivate a passionate, hard-working, and collaborative culture, inspiring your team to overcome challenges and innovate.

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience

We are looking for a leader who is more of a founder than a function manager. Your passion, optimism, and ability to build are more important than a traditional career path in developer relations.

• Proven experience in a senior engineering leadership role (e.g., VP of Engineering, CTO), having built and scaled products and teams.

• An entrepreneurial spirit and "startup energy," with a history of building things, whether in a successful venture or a passionate side project.

• A deep empathy for developers and an understanding of the fundamental shifts happening in technology, especially around AI and LLMs.

• Exceptional storytelling ability with the passion and excitement to inspire both internal teams and the external developer community.

• The ability to thrive in a highly autonomous environment, comfortable with ambiguity and defining your own path forward.

• A genuine optimism and resilience to navigate challenges and lead with a can-do attitude.

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](https: //www.cloudflare.com/athenian/): 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.
