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 Role
Cloudflare operates one of the world's largest networks, processing millions of requests per second across 300+ cities. Today, customers can localize where their traffic is processed, but their configuration data, logs, and cryptographic keys still live in centralized datacenters. Data Residency Architecture (DRA) closes that gap. It extends data residency from the data plane across every layer of how Cloudflare stores, processes, and protects customer data. Customers get the ability to keep their data where their laws say it should be. DRA isn't a separate network or an isolated fork. It's the same Cloudflare, with cryptographic and architectural controls ensuring customer data stays within the regions a customer chooses. The program spans multiple pillars, from regional storage and post-quantum cryptography to logging pipeline expansion and product onboarding, with multiple engineering teams working in parallel.
You'll join a small, high-autonomy team within this larger program. Your primary focus is building the customer-facing and internal experience for DRA: how customers create regionalized accounts, how API requests route to regional control planes, how the dashboard adapts to per-account data residency, and how Cloudflare's internal teams provision and manage it all. The nature of a cross-cutting program means you won't stay in one lane. You'll integrate with teams building the regional storage orchestrator, the cryptographic key layer, and the data pipeline infrastructure. The scope is wide, the team is small, and the decisions you make will shape how this system works at scale.
What You'll Work On
Regional API Routing - Build per-account API hostname generation and routing so that customer requests terminate in their chosen country, integrating with Cloudflare's Data Localization Suite and edge API gateway.
Dashboard Integration - Modify the Cloudflare dashboard so that API calls route through regional endpoints while surfacing clear regional indicators to the customer.
Account Creation & Provisioning - Build the account creation flow that captures country/region selection and integrates with the Control Plane Platform orchestrator to provision per-account regional storage and configuration.
Internal Tooling - Build admin tooling (provisioning integrations, billing shims, operational dashboards) so that support, sales, and finance teams can manage DRA
