Software Engineer, Agentic Commerce

About Us At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one 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 and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. 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.

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. About the Team We build the infrastructure that makes the web Payable , powering the future of machine-to-machine commerce. Here at Cloudflare, agentic commerce is a core part of our vision for the Agentic Internet . As AI agents increasingly navigate, consume, and act on the web, standard payment and authorization models built for humans are breaking down. We build tools that make the new internet payable by giving our users the ability to monetize access to their content, data, services, products, and outcomes across the Internet, regardless of where they are hosted. Building these capabilities requires solving complex engineering problems across high-throughput web infrastructure, low-latency transaction processing, usage metering, outcome verification, digital wallets, and emerging agentic payment protocols (such as x402, WBA, ACP, and UCP). We bridge mainstream fiat commerce rails with decentralized protocols, enabling micro-payments at Internet scale. We are a tight-knit group that communicates and collaborates regularly. We celebrate our achievements, support each other when we make mistakes, and hold each other and our work to a high standard. About the Role We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Agentic Commerce team to build the core systems, protocols, and customer-facing tools powering machine-to-machine payments, metering, and monetization. In this role, you will design and ship scalable software across edge infrastructure, transaction engines, protocol layers, and developer tooling (such as our Monetization Gateway). You will work on cutting-edge standards, cryptographic authentication, and commerce controls that enable businesses to define pricing terms, aut
