Frontend Engineer

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

As a Frontend Engineer on this team, you will own the entire software development lifecycle—from design and architecture to deployment and monitoring—for applications that serve both threat disruption and legal response efforts. You will be responsible for translating complex legal and security requirements into robust, scalable, and high-performance applications that have a direct impact on making the internet better, safer, and more powerful every day.

This role will be based out of our London office.

What you'll do

As someone who will work closely with Product owners, UX designers, and Cloudforce One team members directly, you should be skilled in communicating with non-technical stakeholders. You will also collaborate with backend engineers across different Cloudforce One teams on design and functionality of APIs that power our UIs. We work iteratively and deploy often (can be several times a day). We build and maintain internal and external facing UIs which are TypeScript / React applications, as well as create and manage the underlying infrastructure that controls our deployments, CI/CD, monitoring, analytics, and testing frameworks.

Responsibilities include

• Designing, building, maintaining and scaling UIs to extend functionality of both internal Cloudforce One dashboards and external tooling for Cloudflare customers
• Analyzing and communicating complex technical requirements and concepts, able to identify the highest priority areas and carve a path to deliver
• Collaborating with product and design teams to understand goals and translate UI design into products that align with the customer need
• Collaborating with other software engineers in the team to align on API designs and functionality
• Working closely with Cloudflare's analyst teams, such as the Trust & Safety team, to help make the internet a safer place
• Facilitate technical collaboration with frontend engineers across the company on common experiences and components

Desirable skills and experience

• 2+ years of experience designing, building and maintaining production web applications
• Strong knowledge of TypeScript, React, HTML and CSS
• Experience with Cloudflare developer platform and tooling, specifically Pages and Workers ecosystem
• Experience building high quality automated tests and leading user acceptance testing exercises
• Track record of demonstrating empathy for the user in delivery of high quality UIs
• Ability to work in cross-functional teams in a fast paced environment
• Experience leveraging AI in a workplace setting to do research, planning, and development

Bonus

(Relevant but not required - we love to learn on the job!)

• Prior experience working in the Trust & Safety domain space or building internal review tooling
• Understanding of DNS, TLS/SSL and HTTP
• Expertise in web security issues and industry standards for access control
• Familiarity with other technologies commonly used on Cloudforce One teams, such as Terraform, Kubernetes, and Golang

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: 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.
