At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. 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. At 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. 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. Infrastructure Operations builds and manages the data center infrastructure behind Cloudflare’s general network. The organization brings together engineering, operations, hardware and logistics teams that plan, deploy, operate and maintain our footprint in hundreds of cities worldwide. In this role, you’ll help extend that footprint with a new generation of data center sites across the United States. We’re looking for an experienced Data Center Operations manager to build and run the team that brings these new sites online and keeps them running around the clock.



You will build a distributed team of Data Center Engineers from the ground up. You’ll own sites across their full lifecycle: delivering greenfield builds through third-party vendors and colocation partners, running them in production, and retiring hardware securely at end of life. You’ll be accountable for production hardware availability, 24x7 on-site response, and the operating model that lets this footprint scale. The role means balancing competing demands every day: build deadlines against build quality, dependence on partners against high standards, and fast incident response against careful compliance. This role covers the physical layer: hardware, cabling, and Layer 1/Layer 2 connectivity. It works closely with network engineering and server provisioning teams but does not own them. Hire, develop and manage Data Center Engineers based on-site at data centers across the US. Coordinate engineers, colocation providers and vendors to restore service quickly, and lead root-cause analysis after major incidents so the same problem doesn’t happen again. Own build timelines from site readiness through hardware delivery, rack-and-stack, cabling, validation and handoff to production. Coordinate third-party integrators, contractors and colocation providers to hit dates without cutting corners. Be on-site during key build phases to oversee vendor work, verify quality and make sure sites are production-ready.



Production Operations Be accountable for availability targets for production hardware at your sites. Manage colocation providers and vendors day to day: escalations, remote-hands quality, power and cooling issues, and performance against contractual commitments. That covers rack elevations, power and cabling, asset location, and lifecycle status, all recorded as hardware arrives rather than filled in later. Partner with tooling teams to bring DCIM online at new sites, and define documentation standards that hold up as the footprint grows. Partner with vendor management on IT asset disposition (ITAD) vendors. Make sure destruction certificates and compliance evidence are filed and audit-ready. Security and Compliance Make sure your sites and team meet Cloudflare’s physical security, access control, chain-of-custody and compliance obligations. Follow established physical access procedures, and work with security and compliance teams to develop new ones where these sites need them. Evaluate and adopt AI-assisted workflows for incident triage, root-cause analysis, documentation and compliance evidence generation. Business Reporting Own weekly business reviews and monthly and quarterly reporting on availability, build progress, incidents and operational health to the Director and peer leaders. Partner with network, systems, hardware, supply chain and infrastructure engineering teams to make sure physical operations support what runs on top of them. You know how to create accountability, consistent standards and a shared culture across sites, both remotely and in person. You know the contract, you track performance, and you escalate when it’s warranted. Compliance-minded without being a compliance specialist. You understand why access controls and d
