About the Role

The centralized Developer Go-to-Market (GTM) organization functions as a "speedboat" to maintain focus, control direction, and iterate quickly. Our mission is to build long-term relationships with developers by addressing their unique needs and challenges with specialized attention and resources. The team operates across four core pillars: Marketing, Developer Relations, Growth Programs, and Sales, working in close collaboration to support customers throughout their journey.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement features in Golang, Typescript and SQL.
  • Build and operate production services on Cloudflare Workers and Kubernetes.
  • Own the data foundation including Query Engine, Workflows, MCP/APIs and other internal facing products and services.
  • Own projects end to end; from design docs and schema changes through implementation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring.
  • Participate in on call rotations, drive incident resolution, and write postmortems that improve reliability.
  • Use AI tools extensively to accelerate development, debugging, and operational tasks.
  • Collaborate across teams to coordinate capacity planning, API contracts, and cross cutting initiatives.
  • Embed with Sales, Marketing, Developer Relations (DevRel), and Growth to turn fuzzy operational pain into shipped software.
  • Help set the standard for GTM engineering organization wide.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience with a demonstrated history of leading complex, organization-wide data initiatives.
  • Deep expertise in building distributed systems and production infrastructure at scale, with proficiency in Go and strong working knowledge of TypeScript.
  • Exceptional ability to navigate ambiguous problem spaces, identify the highest-impact technical work, and drive projects autonomously from conception through adoption—balancing pragmatic execution with long-term technical excellence.
  • Deep analytical SQL and data modeling experience. Proven ability to manage complexity even at thousands of tables.
  • Able to debug database and query performance issues using profiling tools and source code where applicable.
  • Prepared to discuss specific examples of organization-wide technical initiatives led, particularly distributed systems or data infrastructure and their measurable business impact.
  • Previous experience as a Principal Engineer, Staff+ engineer, or technical leader on platform, infrastructure, or task force teams that operate outside traditional product roadmaps with a focus on enabling GTM organizations.
  • Columnar/OLAP or lakehouse experience (ClickHouse, DuckDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Iceberg, Starrocks).
  • Familiarity with the Salesforce data model and CRM/API integrations.
  • Familiarity with deploying to bare metal and Kubernetes.
  • Experience on Cloudflare Workers / edge platforms and analytics-engineering (dbt) workflows.
  • Background in SaaS or product-led growth (PLG) GTM motions.
  • Applicants who progress to the offer stage may be asked to attend an in-person interview.
  • This position may require access to information protected under U.S. export control laws.

About the Company

  • 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.
  • 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: 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.
