Lead a team of engineers to develop innovative storage products, shaping product strategy, ensuring engineering goals, and managing team performance.
Available Locations: Austin, TX | Seattle, WA | London, UK About the team
Cloudflare R2 Storage allows developers to store large amounts of unstructured data without the costly egress bandwidth fees associated with typical cloud storage services. Our customers-both internal and external-bring a wide variety of workloads that we enable. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to help us continue achieving those goals.
What you'll do
You will lead a team of passionate, talented engineers that are building innovative products that bring security and speed to millions of internet users each day. You will play an active part in shaping product strategy based on what's technically possible. You will make sure our company hits our ambitious goals from an engineering standpoint.
You bring a passion for meeting business needs with building technically innovative solutions, and excel at shifting between the two-understanding how big-picture goals inform technical details, and vice-versa. You thrive in a fast-paced iterative engineering environment and have experience delivering scalable distributed systems. Most importantly, you will have a track record of having past teams respect you as both a technical leader and manager.
Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience
Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare.

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.
Compensation
Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.
This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare's equity plan.
Benefits
