- Cloudflare Software Engineer interview with Battleship coding and Austin office tourCloudflare · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Apr 2026Rejected
My process took long enough that it started to feel like the goalposts were moving. It began with a hiring manager call, followed by a live coding round where I built a Battleship-style game. Then came a larger loop with an "orange cloud" behavioral interview, a debugging discussion, a system design conversation, and a PM-focused interview. I also had another hiring manager conversation that incl…
- Cloudflare Solutions Engineer: missed interviews and scheduling problemsCloudflare · Solutions Engineer · Other · Apr 2026Withdrew
My process started normally enough with an interview with the hiring manager, followed by a live coding round that was scheduled for later. The people involved on the technical side seemed cool and friendly. I wasn't as nervous as I expected because the interviewers were engaged and explained what they worked on. The recruiter and coordination side made the experience much harder. There were sche…
- Cloudflare Account Executive interview with a mock discovery callCloudflare · Account Executive · Mar 2026
From the recruiter call onward, the process moved quickly, though it was also confusing at times. I met multiple interviewers, including hiring managers and people from different functions. Some of them seemed impatient, as if they were looking for a specific "sales-ready" trait instead of trying to get to know me conversationally. The recruiter was nice, but the introductions and context weren’t…
- Cloudflare Frontend Engineer interview with a repeated system design roundCloudflare · Frontend Engineer · Technical Screen · Feb 2026
I went through an extensive sequence that started with conversations with the hiring manager and engineering manager about my background, then moved into several live coding and architecture or system design exercises. The later technical stages included an "orange cloud" behavioral interview, PM and cross collaboration rounds, and a final C-level executive conversation about why I wanted the job…
- Cloudflare Account Executive interview with manager call and sales role-playCloudflare · Account Executive · Other · Jan 2026Rejected
I started with a manager call, followed by a second-stage sales role-play. Product knowledge mattered a lot, and I needed to know Cloudflare's products well to do well. The role-play didn't feel like an easy warm-up. It was a genuine evaluation of how I thought and sold. The process was tough for me. I didn't move on after the sales role-play, so it ended earlier than I'd expected. My impression…
- Two-Month Wait, Then Advanced to Technical the Same NightCloudflare · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Dec 2025In progress
I applied in mid-September. I got an HR outreach in late November, and this week (early December) I had my interview — the first round was with the hiring manager. They mainly asked experience-related questions: Why Cloudflare Do you have any experience using Cloudflare products? Introduce a recent project Technical details of the project Have you ever contributed to any production code? Have you…
- HM Chat, HR Screen, Then a Key-Value Store Round Where AI Wrote My CryptoCloudflare · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Oct 2025No response
The HM round was basically both sides chatting about background. The HM gave a lot of intro about the team — the team mainly uses Go. HR screen, about two weeks later. They walked me through the interview process and collected some info about my relevant experience, but it was mostly them introducing the interview and what the team does. Scheduled for about a week after that. I could use search,…
