Cloudflare Software Engineer interview experience

Medium

Neutral

Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview experience leaned heavily toward networking and my background rather than coding.

The interviewer went through my resume and past projects in depth, and then asked basic networking questions—things like TCP and sockets. It felt clear that networking knowledge mattered a lot for this role, which didn’t fully match where my strengths were.

In a similar style conversation, the session started with a self-introduction, then I walked through a recent project with my contributions and the challenges I faced, along with follow-ups tied directly to how I described it. We also covered why I changed jobs and why I picked Cloudflare, and then shifted into technical questions again
