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.

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.

You find the site, underwrite it, and get the paper signed. The binding constraint is usually power: available MW, interconnection, substation work, and when the site actually energizes. You also have to be right about land or campus control, fiber, water, flood and seismic, permitting, and latency onto Cloudflare’s network. The commercial work is NNN paper and the structures next to it: modified gross, FRI, wholesale dedicated-room, powered shell, build-to-suit, sale-leaseback, joint venture.

You build the pipeline (developers, brokers, wholesale operators, power developers, utilities), run technical diligence, and take a TCO / cost-per-MW / NPV pack to leadership for the capital ask. Several of these will be live at once, across markets. Legal, capacity planning, network strategy, energy, security, operations, and finance all sit in the process. You own it through execution. What you get to do in this role: • Build and run a pipeline of MW-scale sites: developers, landlords, wholesale operators, power developers, utilities • Lead technical diligence: power availability and energization, electrical topology and redundancy, rack density and cooling (including liquid), fiber diversity, PUE, geotech, permitting, commissioning evidence, network latency • Run the deal from long list through RFP, site visit, LOI, lease or powered-shell, work letter, and signature (campuses, dedicated buildings, dedicated halls, core expansions, BTS) • Negotiate NNN / triple-net and the structures next to it (modified gross, FRI, wholesale dedicated-room, powered shell, BTS, sale-leaseback, JV): $/kW-month, NRC/MRC, escalators, PUE, delay credits, SLAs, ramp, expansion rights, ROFR, exit and renewal • Keep landlord scope and Cloudflare scope explicit, including power to dedicated PDU and tenant fit-out • Build the TCO / cost-per-MW / NPV case and take the capital ask to
