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.
The Workers teams makes it possible for Cloudflare customers to run JavaScript and WebAssembly on Cloudflare's edge network. We build and maintain the serverless technology that executes billions of requests per month on behalf of developers and grants them nearly limitless control over how their requests are handled and responded to.
The Workers Core Platform team delivers features that enable Cloudflare Workers customers to manage, configure and deploy their code. The team also ensures our critical core platforms scale and provide fundamental, reusable building blocks for customers.
