About The Position

Cloudflare is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Radar & Insights engineering team. This team is responsible for Cloudflare Radar, Cloudflare Speed Test, Internet measurement and analytics platforms, and the data pipelines that transform network signals into insights. The role involves managing approximately eight engineers, focusing on people, execution, and engineering quality, while collaborating with Product Management and other engineering teams. The ideal candidate is technically credible, capable of understanding complex systems, and able to guide architectural decisions. Success will be measured by the team's output, engineer development, and the quality of delivered systems and products. This role may require on-call availability outside standard working hours.

Requirements

Led and developed high-performing engineering team(s) and can point to what that team shipped and how the people on it grew.
Technically credible with experienced engineers.
Able to review a design, understand the trade-offs in a distributed system or data platform, and recognize when a technical problem needs deeper investigation.
Comfortable managing a team working across several related technical areas and can create clarity without requiring every problem to fit neatly into a single box.
Deep care for reliability and quality, particularly when the output of a system is data that people use to understand the Internet.
Strong product judgment and enjoy working with Product Management to decide what is worth building, what needs improvement and what should not be built at all.
Comfortable with ambiguity and with finding structure in areas where the opportunity is clearer than the roadmap.
Communicate clearly, give direct feedback, and can explain complex technical decisions to both engineers and non-engineers.
Experience leading engineering teams responsible for production software and services.
Strong technical grounding in distributed systems, data-intensive systems, Internet infrastructure or adjacent areas.
Experience operating systems where correctness, reliability and data quality matter as much as feature delivery.
Experience building or operating large-scale data pipelines, analytics platforms, telemetry systems or measurement infrastructure.
A track record of hiring, developing and retaining strong engineers.
Experience partnering closely with Product Management to shape and execute a roadmap.
Strong written and verbal communication.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with Internet protocols and infrastructure such as HTTP, DNS, BGP, routing or network measurement.
Experience working with very large telemetry or Internet-scale datasets.
Experience building analytics or insights products that turn complex underlying data into something useful for a broad audience.
Experience working on products where the underlying data or infrastructure creates opportunities beyond the product’s original scope.
Familiarity with Cloudflare Radar, Internet measurement research, or the broader ecosystem of tools used to understand Internet performance, availability and security.

Responsibilities

Manage, coach and grow a team of engineers working across Cloudflare Radar, Speed Test and Internet measurement, analytics and large-scale data systems.
Own the team’s execution: establish clear priorities, create predictable delivery, and give engineers the context and autonomy to own meaningful areas of the product.
Improve the quality, reliability and usability of the data and insights surfaced through Radar and the systems that produce them.
Help evolve Cloudflare Speed Test and the measurement capabilities behind it.
Partner closely with Product Management to shape the roadmap and turn broad opportunities into clear engineering problems.
Help the team make the enormous volume of signals available across Cloudflare’s network more useful and consumable.
Explore how Cloudflare’s unique view of Internet activity can improve existing products, power new experiences and create entirely new businesses.
Own the operational health of the team’s systems, including observability, incident response, data quality and long-term reliability.
Develop technical leaders within the team and create space for engineers to lead architecture and implementation.
Work across Cloudflare to resolve dependencies and bring complex technical and product decisions to closure.
