About Us

　　At Cloudflare, we have our eyes set on an ambitious goal: to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers approximately 25 million 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! 

　　About the team We love the Internet and media is a huge part of it. We’re working hard on building tools that change the possibilities of what Creators can do with video and images on the web. We make advanced video technologies such as adaptive bitrate, multi-codec, low latency across devices available to every developer. We enable Creators to unleash creativity on the web.

　　Media Platform is part of Cloudflare's Emerging Technology and Incubation organization. This 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.

　　We are a hybrid team with offices in Austin, Washington, NY and San Francisco, and many members working remotely.

　　What you'll do Help build and manage a complex software system that ingests, processes and delivers petabytes of video. Maintain a focus on customer experience and product quality while scaling a young product. Collaborate with engineers across the whole stack and teams across Cloudflare, and contribute at many layers of the architecture. Own your work from early discussions to the day it ships. Work closely with product leaders and get to know customers big and small. About you We primarily work in Golang and TypeScript. We recommend you have worked in one of these languages before, preferably professionally You are naturally curious and willing to take a step to learn something you don’t have experience in. You enjoy getting things done and have a bias for action: you're a builder and a creator. You are comfortable with large scale distributed systems, and may have experience working in low-latency or real-time environments, although this is not a requirement. You lead. We are a growing team, and you will have a huge role shaping the product from the ground up. You have solid engineering fundamentals (formal computer science education a plus). You may have experience with media on the internet (for example with Media Source Extensions API on browsers, FFmpeg, livestreaming tools) but this is not a requirement. You would like to join a team that is honest and open with each other and holds each other to the highest standard. We celebrate each other's achievements and support each other when we make mistakes. 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: We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists 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: We created 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.

　　Path Forward Partnership: Since 2016, we have partnered with Path Forward, a nonprofit organization, to create 16-week positions for mid-career professionals who want to get back to the workplace after taking time off to care for a child, parent, or loved one.

　　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.

　　Sound like something you’d like to be a part of? We’d love to hear from you!
