About the team
You will be part of the Radar team within Cloudflare's ETI Engineering department. Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a massively successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers. 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.

- Excellent data analysis skills, with a natural curiosity to query and manipulate data to answer challenging questions;
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to partner with cross-functional teams, navigate ambiguous business requirements, and articulate complex data insights to both technical and non-technical audiences with attention to detail.
