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.
