Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.\nAt Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a \"normalized\" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in.\nSoftware Engineer, AI Agents\nLocation: India, Bangalore\nExp: 5 - 10yrs\nWhy This Role Matters\nAt Cloudflare, we're building industrial-scale AI agents that support customers directly. This isn't research theater. Your code will power real customer interactions from day one, at global scale.\nCloudflare already has the parts. You will assemble Workers, Durable Objects, KV, R2, D1, Vectorize, Workers AI, AI Gateway, and the Agent SDK into real agents customers use every day.\nRole Intent\nShip production agents on the Cloudflare stack. Build, deploy, learn, repeat. Your code is the front door for Cloudflare customers.\nWhat You Will Do\nBuild agents on Workers with Durable Objects for state and short term memory\nWire tools with the Agent SDK, MCP, and function calling\nUse Vectorize, KV, R2, and D1 for semantic memory, cache, files, and config\nRun models through Workers AI and AI Gateway; integrate third parties when needed\nCreate evals, guardrails, and audits. Measure, tune, re-ship fast\nBuild agents that summarize, propose fixes, and escalate cleanly to humans\nExpose agent health and metrics in transparent dashboards. No mystery boxes\nIntegrate with queues and webhooks; publish events on Queues or Pub/Sub\nCut cost per case and time to first response. Prove it with data.\nTake end to end ownership including on call for what you ship (with team support)\nDesign and maintain robust observability for distributed AI workflows, implementing structured logging and end-to-end tracing across async service boundaries to ensure visibility into agent reasoning and execution.\nArchitect security boundaries for agent-led operations; implementing secure credential handling, multi-layer approval gates, and fine-grained trust scoping for mutative actions.\nMust Have\nDemonstrated success shipping production systems. Repos and releases that show real work.\nStrong in TypeScript or Rust on Workers. HTTP, queues, async, performance\nFluency with Durable Objects, KV or R2, and either D1 or Postgres\nHands on with model tooling. Prompt I/O, tool calling, evals, safety checks\nObservability mindset. Logs, traces, metrics, redlines\nExperience with a2a/multi-agent frameworks\nExperience developing LLM evaluation frameworks; automated scoring systems, CI-integrated quality gates.\nBias for simple, scalable designs\nNice to Have\nWorkers AI, AI Gateway, and Vectorize in production\nSalesforce or Service Cloud experience. Webhooks and case APIs\nSecurity depth. Prompt injection protection, secrets detection, PII handling\nOSS agent frameworks. Know what to borrow and what to throw away.\nHow We Build\nAlign fast on what matters.\nDivide and conquer. Own your piece.\nShip. Watch customers use it.\nLearn and repeat.\nWhy Join Cloudflare in India?\nImpact at global scale: Your code will serve Cloudflare's customers across every region. Tens of millions of Internet properties depend on us.\nWork on the edge: Few companies give engineers the chance to build AI directly into an edge platform that runs in 300+ cities worldwide.\nCareer growth: As one of the early engineers in our India based AI team, you'll have visibility, leadership opportunities, and a direct hand in shaping Cloudflare's AI roadmap.\nCulture of ownership: We believe in autonomy, accountability, and trust. Engineers here own outcomes, not just tickets.\nLearn and grow fast: Collaborate with peers across Support, Product, Security, and AI Platform teams. We encourage knowledge sharing, mentorship, and continuous learning.\nInterview Signal\nExpect to demonstrate your ability to:\nBuild a mini agent on Workers using the Agent SDK\nStore session memory in Durable Objects\nAdd semantic recall with Vectorize\nShip behind a KV flag with traces and observability\nPush to production fast and take ownership\nTeam Mission\nThe Agent Tech team owns the end to end stack for customer facing agents on Cloudflare. Everything runs at the edge.\nCore Stack: Workers, Durable Objects, KV, R2, D1, Queues, Pub/Sub, Vectorize, Workers AI, AI Gateway, Pages, Zero Trust.\nPrinciples: Ship fast. Measure truth. Simplify relentlessly. Own outcomes.\nFraud Alert: Do not fall victim to recruitment fraud. Cloudflare never charges application fees or requires candidates to purchase third-party certifications or training as a condition of employment. All official communication comes strictly from @cloudflare.com email addresses.\nWhat Makes Cloudflare Special?\nWe’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.\nProject 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.\nAthenian 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.\n1.1.1.1: We released1.1.1.1 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.\nSound like something you’d like to be a part of?
