Analytics Engineer, FinTech

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.

The FinTech Data Science team is central to Cloudflare’s innovation and harnesses the massive amount of data generated by our network. We cover a broad scope, from optimizing Billing and Revenue operations to detecting Fraud, and possess a unique opportunity to use these insights to discover new products or transform existing ones.

About the Role

We are looking for an Analytics Engineer to join our FinTech Data Science team who cares deeply about data quality and usability. Sitting at the intersection of data engineering and analysis, you will be the architect of our data layer. While our Data Scientists focus on automating decisions, you will focus on the "truth" of the data — ensuring that the tables and dashboards powering our decisions are accurate, accessible, documented, and reliable.

You will transform raw tables into canonical data models and own the presentation layer that leadership uses to monitor the health of our business. If you are excited to build the foundational data infrastructure that powers a multi-billion dollar fintech operation, we would love to hear from you!

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Build out the canonical data schema for FinTech and related organizations by designing and maintaining well-structured, modular, and user-friendly data tables.
• Design, develop, deploy, and operate high-quality production ELT pipelines and data architectures, integrating data from various sources and formats.
• Architect and maintain the presentation layer in BI tools (e.g., Looker/Superset) to ensure dashboards are performant and provide a seamless self-serve experience.
• Act as a strategic partner to stakeholders by translating vague business questions into concrete technical solutions that drive business value.
• Ensure data is accurate, complete, and timely by implementing robust testing, monitoring, and validation protocols for your code and data.
• Establish and share best practices in performance, code quality, data governance, and discoverability while participating in mentoring initiatives.

Required skills, knowledge, and experience:

• 5+ years of experience in Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, or related roles working with big data at scale.
• Expert-level SQL and proficiency in a high-level scripting language (e.g., Python, R, or Scala) for data automation and manipulation.
• Experience with workflow management tools (e.g., Airflow) to schedule and monitor complex data pipelines.
• Strong experience with dbt or similar frameworks for transforming data in the warehouse.
• Deep experience with BI tools (e.g., Looker, Superset, or Grafana) and a strong understanding of how to structure data for downstream consumption.
• Solid foundation in software best practices, including version control (Git), CI/CD, and data testing/quality frameworks.
• Ability to operate comfortably in a fast-paced environment and take ownership of projects with minimal oversight.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to bridge the gap between technical engineering terms and business requirements.
• A learning mindset and exceptional curiosity—eagerly diving into new domains and bringing informed ideas to the table.

Bonus Points

• Experience in FinTech

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.
