Cloudflare's Engineering Team builds and runs the software that handles large amounts of requests on the Internet today.

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Frontend (UI) Platform Engineer to join our team.

You'll be responsible for the core technology that drives the Cloudflare Dashboard.

You'll be pioneering new techniques and tooling to move away from a traditional monolithic application and onto Cloudflare's innovative Web Fragments.

• Upgrade and maintain the frontend codebase, modernizing legacy components to align with current best practices.

Qualifications

• Passion for improving developer experience and increasing development velocity.
  
  
• 4+ years of experience in frontend engineering, specializing in JavaScript, TypeScript, and React.
  
  
• Strong knowledge of UI infrastructure, CI/CD, and testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress).
  
  
• Proven ability to drive projects independently, from concept to implementation.
  
  

Preferred Skills:

• Expertise in React.js, TypeScript, and modern front-end systems.
  
  
• Expertise in performance optimization for frontend applications.
  
  
• Experience with modern JavaScript bundling tools like Webpack, Vite, and Bazel.
  
  
• Familiarity with Remix, Qwik, RESTful APIs, and Go.
• Experience building and maintaining integration test suites with API mocks.
  
  
• Experience building and scaling large-scale web applications.
  
  

Why Join Us?

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.
