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 was named to Entrepreneur Magazine's Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World's 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.

About the Cloudflare Blog

The Cloudflare Blog is not a marketing tool. It's a widely-read technical publication, trusted by millions of developers, engineers, researchers, and curious minds. For over a decade, we've published deep dives into emerging technologies, detailed incident analyses, and product breakdowns that become reference points across the industry.

We hold ourselves to a high bar. Every post must educate, inspire, or meaningfully contribute to the broader technical community. We require that even product launches explain how the underlying technology works.

The blog is a company-wide effort-authored by interns and C-suite execs alike. Engineers, researchers, and product leads all contribute, often partnering with the blog team to share the story of their work in a thoughtful and accessible way.


About the Role

We're looking for an Editor in Chief to lead the Cloudflare Blog. You will set the vision, define the voice, and maintain the editorial integrity of one of the most respected technical blogs in the industry.

This role is part coach, part curator, and part critic. You'll partner closely with technical leaders and authors across Cloudflare to identify great stories, shape them into compelling posts, and ensure that each piece we publish is insightful, accurate, and impactful.

You'll personally review and approve every blog post before it goes live-ensuring each story upholds our high editorial standards and contributes meaningfully to our mission to help build a better Internet.

You'll also represent Cloudflare externally at events and on panels, helping tell our story and promote our approach to technical communication.


What You'll Do

  • Define and uphold the editorial vision and quality standards of the Cloudflare Blog
  • Be the final decision-maker on what gets published
    Collaborate with engineers, researchers, and product leaders to tell their stories
  • Edit each submission for clarity, tone, and resonance with a technical audience-not just grammar
  • Offer thoughtful, constructive feedback to help authors grow as communicators
    Manage and balance the editorial calendar to ensure a steady cadence of high-impact posts
  • Actively scout great stories across the company and encourage authorship
    Support Cloudflare's Innovation Weeks by helping identify, elevate, and shape stories for publication
  • Represent Cloudflare at relevant events, conferences, or panels as a leader in technical storytelling



Bonus Points For

  • Experience as a journalist or editor at a tech-focused publication
  • Background in engineering or technical writing within a software company
  • A strong portfolio of published work, especially technical or developer-focused content
  • Proven ability to translate complex topics into engaging, digestible narratives



If you're passionate about technology and storytelling, thrive on helping others find their voice, and want to shape the conversation around how the Internet evolves-we'd love to hear from you.

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.
