Please do consider applying if you're interested. We are actively looking for qualified technical folks.

I live in Lancashire at the moment, the only issue for me would really be spending £150 on a round trip to London, do you guys do preliminary Skype interviews?

(I'm aware that the post might not be prestigious as say, engineering - however, I feel that having someone with strong web development experience (who is a user of Cloudflare already) would more than offset the slight inconvenience on your part.)

EDIT: Grammar

We typically conduct the first interviews on the phone or Skype for interesting candidates. If it makes sense to do in-person interviews, we're happy to cover the cost of transportation for candidates we're excited about. In other words, if you're excited about working with CloudFlare, don't let the £150 stand in the way of applying.

We definitely do the initial interview via phone/Skype. There absolutely is room to grow and move into other areas of the company with experience. I highly recommend becoming familiar with the platform through the "front lines" of support. It gives engineers a different perspective on our service.

Ok, that sounds great! (Same to the comment above, replying to this one for continuity) - let me mull it over this week.

And I couldn't agree more, being placed in the firing lines of customers is often more telling than building the software yourself - "normal" people tend to notice things which we as developers are prone to miss or gloss over unintentionally.

Mull it over a week?

Large changes in lifestyle, such as a complete relocation, new job, etc, should not be something undertaken lightly - if I interviewed and got offered the job I would be under a lot of pressure, which I can mitigate now by thinking more carefully before undertaking anything, I wouldn't want to waste both my time and the time of the people at Cloudflare by making an important decision without carefully weighing the pros and cons.

How about just emailing them? I feel like I've seen these kinds of 'wow I where do I apply for a job' posts on cloudflare news articles before. Smells like astroturfing.

I have emailed them.
