About the team

The Builds and Automation team is responsible for ensuring that users of Cloudflare's Developer Platform (Workers and Pages) have a fast and secure way to build applications. We work hard to remove barriers between vision and execution for content creators, large and small. We are one of many teams of developers working on Cloudflare's Development Platform.

Our team upholds a culture of support, open and honest communication, and vulnerability. We celebrate our achievements, support each other when we make mistakes, and hold each other and our work to the highest standard.

• Scale and improve the legacy Pages CI/CD system
• Own your work from early discussions on. You will plan, craft milestones, and effectively communicate scope and blockers to engineering and product leaders. You will help implement metrics and dashboards to monitor operational health after the project ships
