About the 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.
About the Role
As a Design Engineer you'll sit at the intersection of design, front-end engineering, and data visualization roles, working closely with product managers, engineers and also designers to craft fast, elegant, and reliable interfaces that make complex Internet trends and metrics easy to explore.
You'll be part of a growing engineering team tasked to help build and evolve projects at ETI such as Cloudflare Radar, our public data-intelligence platform, Radar Display, our large-format visualization experience optimized for big screens and live event environments, Year in Review, and other tools which are part of our ecosystem where you will be able to enrich their user experience as well.
What you'll do
We are looking for an experienced and empathetic Design Engineer who will help build and scale the platform that empowers millions of users to be successful with Cloudflare. In this role, you'll use your skills to ensure we have a world-class user interface that gives customers relevant and up-to-date content whenever they need it. This is a cross-functional role where you'll work collaboratively across the product, engineering and design teams.
- Design User experiences and UI components that scale across ETI ensuring performance on desktop, mobile, and large-format displays.
- Build interactive visualizations (maps, charts, dashboards) that bring global Internet data to life.
- Prototype high-fidelity UI/UX concepts and iterate rapidly based on user feedback and real-world data.
- Translate product specs into clear UI/UX design using modern design tooling (e.g., Figma, Miro).
- Champion design system consistency, contributing to new and reusable components to keep Radar cohesive and scalable in several distinct platforms.
- Ensure our products and tools meet high standards for performance, accessibility, internationalization, and responsiveness.
- Maintain UX/UI high quality by performing rapidly fixes and small enhancements, polishing items, and bugs reported by customers and internal teams.
- Support the creation and optimization of tools like the Radar Display layouts tailored for big screens (wallboards, NOCs, conferences, lobbies) and customized for diverse events.

- Hands-on experience building, maintaining, or contributing to a component library or design system (e.g., using Storybook).
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to work effectively with designers and product managers to scope work and find scalable solutions.
- A pragmatic and product-oriented mindset, capable of balancing technical debt, design intent, and development velocity.
Preferred Skills

- Experience working on large-scale products used by multiple teams.
