About Us

About the Team and Role

The Developer Productivity team builds internal tools and platforms that improve the velocity and developer experience of Cloudflare's engineering teams. We own developer productivity (code commit to production), developer insights and ADLC metrics, developer infrastructure (CI/CD, build systems), AI-assisted development, and Cloudflare-on-Cloudflare dogfooding.

This team is responsible for AI-assisted development across all of Cloudflare engineering. Adoption has grown 4–6x in the last year. It's a small team, so you'll have a big surface area and real ownership from day one.

As a Software Engineer, you will help build and operate internal platforms that help Cloudflare engineers develop, deploy, and run software safely and efficiently. You’ll work across developer tooling, CI/CD, GitOps, and AI-assisted development, including MCP servers, agents, evals, and context engineering.

You’ll also help govern and enforce Cloudflare’s Engineering Codex by turning engineering standards into automated guardrails, paved paths, and actionable feedback.

What You’ll Do

Exp: 4-12yrs

- Build developer productivity tools, MCP servers, and AI agents.

- Automate Engineering Codex controls through CI/CD checks, templates, and policy-as-code.

- Monitor Codex adoption, improve controls, and support remediation and exception workflows.

- Improve GitOps, developer experience, platform security, and reliability.

- Partner with product teams on architecture and platform adoption.

- Respond to and prevent incidents affecting internal platforms.

What We’re Looking For

- Experience with TypeScript, Go, or Bash.

- Strong debugging and source-control skills.

- Experience with CI/CD, GitOps, or developer platforms.

- Ability to break down complex problems and evaluate trade-offs.

- Clear communication and a strong focus on developer experience.

Bonus Points

- Experience with AI agents, MCP, evals, or LLM-based tooling.

- Experience with policy-as-code or compliance automation.

- Background in platform engineering or developer productivity.

- Experience operating distributed or Kubernetes-based systems.
