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.
The Developer Platform is the fastest growing set of products in Cloudflare. As part of our explosive growth, we are looking for a Principal, Customer Strategy & Storytelling to establish, scale, and architect the stories we tell about the Developer Platform inside and outside the company.
This is a high-impact, foundational individual contributor role within Developer GTM. You will unearth compelling customer transformations, translate complex technical breakthroughs into magnetic narratives, and architect programs that showcase the value of Cloudflare’s developer platform and AI infrastructure to both internal teams and the global ecosystem. As an early member of this team, you will have the autonomy to experiment, to learn what resonates, and to establish scalable operating rhythms and success metrics. Your work will showcase the value of Cloudflare's developer platform and AI infrastructure both internally and to the global ecosystem.
What Success Looks Like
First 30 days:
Establish key relationships, consume an inordinate amount of content about our customers and existing stories, identify a few priority narratives. You’ve shipped your first customer story.
First 6 months:
Translate and distribute your first stories across internal and external channels. Launch a repeatable customer storytelling motion across DevGTM, including the cross-functional processes for identification and engaging account teams. We are hitting a new level of narrative (this is not a case study factory) and telling the story in novel ways. You’ve shipped a way for customer stories to be easier to find for our field teams, and they hit their goals faster because of it.
First year:
Build a scalable customer engagement and storytelling capability that is measurably supporting Dev GTM’s growth. Your partnership is sought after, because it has created such compelling narratives through our field teams, owned channels, and executive voices that our program makes waves in the AI ecosystem.
At Cloudflare, we know that great candidates come from diverse backgrounds with non-linear paths. You don’t need to tick every single box to be right for this role. If you are excited about building a better Internet and ready to make an impact, please apply.
Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.
This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.

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.
