Software Engineer - Platforms & Productivity

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.

About the Team and Role

The Developer Productivity team builds internal tools and platforms that improve the velocity and developer experience of Cloudflare's engineering teams. We own developer productivity (code commit to production), developer insights and ADLC metrics, developer infrastructure (CI/CD, build systems), AI-assisted development, and Cloudflare-on-Cloudflare dogfooding.

This team is responsible for AI-assisted development across all of Cloudflare engineering. Adoption has grown 4–6x in the last year. It's a small team, so you'll have a big surface area and real ownership from day one.

As a Software Engineer, you will help build and operate internal platforms that help Cloudflare engineers develop, deploy, and run software safely and efficiently. You’ll work across developer tooling, CI/CD, GitOps, and AI-assisted development, including MCP servers, agents, evals, and context engineering.

You’ll also help govern and enforce Cloudflare’s Engineering Codex by turning engineering standards into automated guardrails, paved paths, and actionable feedback.

What You’ll Do

- Build developer productivity tools, MCP servers, and AI agents.

- Automate Engineering Codex controls through CI/CD checks, templates, and policy-as-code.

- Monitor Codex adoption, improve controls, and support remediation and exception workflows.

- Improve GitOps, developer experience, platform security, and reliability.

- Partner with product teams on architecture and platform adoption.

- Respond to and prevent incidents affecting internal platforms.

What We’re Looking For

- Experience with TypeScript, Go, or Bash.

- Strong debugging and source-control skills.

- Experience with CI/CD, GitOps, or developer platforms.

- Ability to break down complex problems and evaluate trade-offs.

- Clear communication and a strong focus on developer experience.

Bonus Points

- Experience with AI agents, MCP, evals, or LLM-based tooling.

- Experience with policy-as-code or compliance automation.

- Background in platform engineering or developer productivity.

- Experience operating distributed or Kubernetes-based systems.
