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

• More than 3 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.
