Cloudflare Software Engineer interview experience

No offer

Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went into the Cloudflare process after a long stretch where I’d been out of work, and by the time the recruiter reached out in late summer, I felt like everything finally aligned.

The technical parts went better than I expected. The DSA interviewer seemed to like my approach, and the system design round covered topics around building something like a CDN log ingestion pipeline—mapping out how I’d think through components, tradeoffs, and caching strategies. The product and culture rounds felt warm and conversational, and I even asked questions about the company’s work that made the discussions feel
