About the team
We love the Internet and media is a huge part of it. We’re working hard on building tools that change the possibilities of what Creators can do with video and images on the web. We make advanced video technologies such as adaptive bitrate, multi-codec, low latency across devices available to every developer. We enable Creators to unleash creativity on the web.
Media Platform is part of Cloudflare's Emerging Technology and Incubation organization. This 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.
We are a hybrid team with offices in Austin and San Francisco, and many members working remotely.

- You may have experience with media on the internet (for example with Media Source Extensions API on browsers, FFmpeg, live streaming tools).
