About the Role

As a Technical Support Engineer (Developer Platform), you will serve as the technical point of contact for Cloudflare’s Developer and Media Platform products — including Workers, Durable Objects, D1, R2, Pages, KV, Images, and Stream.

You will focus on troubleshooting, diagnosing, and resolving technical issues while guiding customers on best practices for configuration, performance, and reliability. Your work ensures developers and businesses can effectively operate and scale their applications on Cloudflare’s edge network.

You will collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, and Developer Relations to surface bugs, share product feedback, and contribute to internal knowledge resources.

This position requires flexibility to support customers globally, including a 5-day schedule (Sunday–Thursday or Tuesday–Saturday) aligned with either Eastern Time (ET), Central Time (CT), or Pacific Time (PT) hours depending on business needs and occasional public holiday coverage.

Responsibilities
  • Provide expert technical support for Cloudflare Developer Platform products: Workers, Durable Objects, D1, R2, Pages, KV, Images, and Stream.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to Cloudflare AI workloads (Workers AI, AI Gateway, Vectorize), including inference API errors, latency, and resource utilization.
  • Engage with customers through multiple support channels, including email, phone, chat, and customer calls/meetings.
  • Reproduce customer issues in test environments, isolate the root cause, and document clear steps to resolution.
  • Collaborate with Engineering teams on bug triage and product feedback, using internal JIRA and escalation processes.
  • Author and improve documentation, runbooks, and knowledge base articles to empower self-service for developers.
  • Contribute to internal training and mentor peers in areas like serverless computing, JavaScript runtime debugging, and edge storage architecture.
  • Maintain excellent communication and empathy when engaging with customers, from startup developers to enterprise engineering teams.
Requirements
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in a technical support or customer engineering role, preferably supporting developer or platform products.
  • Strong understanding of internet and web protocols — including HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, TCP/IP, and TLS — and experience using diagnostic tools (e.g., curl, dig, wrangler, DevTools, HAR files, etc.) for troubleshooting and analysis.
  • Experience with observability and tracing tools for performance troubleshooting and incident analysis (e.g., Cloudflare Analytics, New Relic, Datadog, Grafana, or equivalent).
  • Familiarity with AI-related services such as Workers AI, AI Gateway, or Vectorize, and a general understanding of how AI workloads (e.g., model or inference requests) differ from typical web or API traffic in terms of performance and resource usage.
  • Working knowledge of Terraform, Wrangler CLI, or similar automation tools.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications

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.
