About The Role

We announced Cloudflare Workers in 2017 — since then it’s played a key role in Cloudflare’s strategy for entering the compute market. Until the launch of Workers, as Cloudflare was ramping up its capabilities in the performance and security spaces, it became clear that developers needed more ways to control the edge than rules engines could support.

Workers has grown from a simple functions-as-a-service option into a complete full-stack platform — and with this comes the need to support a broader set of Runtime APIs. This spans a wide range, from TC39 standards, to Node.js APIs, to web standards. We played a key role in forming WinterCG, and there’s still much work to do to grow a shared base of APIs across runtimes — to push forward the ecosystem and ease the burden on open-source maintainers of supporting multiple runtimes.

What You’ll Do

Drive the strategy and roadmap for JavaScript APIs in the Cloudflare Workers Runtime
Lead new APIs from ideation through launch, and continuing through ongoing maintenance and support
Guide teams both internal and external on developing new JavaScript APIs in Workers, including first-party Cloudflare products and external libraries seeking to increase compatibility
Develop and nurture key external relationships with open-source maintainers, and ensure their needs are heard and acted on
Partner with other departments such as Product Marketing, Marketing, Community & developer advocacy, Sales, and Customer Support to drive adoption with and gather feedback from customers and prospects
Ruthlessly prioritize across a complex environment of diverse customers, stakeholders and objectives
Represent the company externally as needed, including meetings with customers, speaking at external events, participating in WinterCG and more.

Developer focus — you’ll be working directly, and often be a part of the customers team in helping them get their initial implementation off the ground
Strong technical abilities. You are intimately familiar with modern software development practices used to build and deploy applications. You are capable of wading into the details & understanding engineering decisions’ impact on the product, but can also drive 30k foot view

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.

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.
