Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a hugely successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers. Cloudflare’s edge and network make it possible to solve problems at massive scale and efficiency which would be impossible for almost any other organization.
Cloudflare Radar helps people understand what is happening on the Internet. The team builds the systems behind radar.cloudflare.com, Cloudflare Speed Test, our Internet measurement and analytics platforms, and the data pipelines that turn signals from Cloudflare’s global network into useful insights. We publish analysis of DDoS attacks and other Internet events, power recurring reports such as the Cloudflare Year in Review, and build tools that make large and complex datasets understandable.
Cloudflare operates one of the world’s largest networks and observes billions of signals across it. A major part of the team’s next chapter is figuring out how to turn more of that unique perspective into useful, reliable and consumable insights — improving the products we already have, helping other Cloudflare products make better decisions, and identifying entirely new opportunities.
This is a team working at the intersection of distributed systems, large-scale data, Internet measurement and product engineering. We are a tight-knit team that communicates and collaborates regularly. We celebrate our achievements, support each other when we make mistakes, and hold each other and our work to the highest standard.
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Radar & Insights engineering team. You will lead a team of approximately eight engineers responsible for some of Cloudflare’s most visible Internet measurement products and the systems behind them. You will be responsible for the people, execution and engineering quality of the team while partnering closely with Product Management and engineering teams across Cloudflare.
This is a management role for someone who is deeply technically credible. You will not be expected to write most of the code, but you should be able to understand the systems your team operates, challenge architectural decisions, ask the right questions when something is going wrong, and step into a technical problem when the situation calls for it.
At the same time, we are looking for a manager, not a tech lead with direct reports. Your success will be measured by the quality and output of the team you build, the engineers you develop, and the systems and products they deliver.
This role may require flexibility to be on-call outside of standard working hours to address technical issues as needed.
