of the world’s 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 Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list

At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking
for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to
live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the
AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on
iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that
every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If
you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in
solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in.

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.
