Chief of Staff to CTO
At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the worlds 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 Magazines Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the Worlds Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.
We are looking for curious and empathetic individuals who are committed to developing themselves and learning new skills, and we are ready to help you do that. We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Cloudflare is responsible for setting technical direction, leading innovation, and shipping great technology. Emerging Technology and Incubation : Cloudflares department focused on shipping new products, built on our network, that place many small bets on the future of our industry.

Cloudflare Research : the team at Cloudflare responsible for preparing the firm for the next decade of technology evolution.
Cloudflare Privacy : the products built at Cloudflare that help make the Internet more private for all of its users.
The team operates independently from Cloudflares core Product and Engineering team (though those partner teams are Customer Zero for anything built inside of the CTOs organization). The scope of problems tackled by the CTO range from investigating frontier technologies, like post-quantum cryptography, to shipping free tools that help build a better Internet, like our 1.1.1.1 resolver, to launching the foundations of products trusted by some of the worlds largest organizations like our Zero Trust suite.

We are not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We are 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 Cloudflares 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. Heres 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.
