Cloudflare is now using a wall of waves in our Lisbon, Portugal office to create entropy and strengthen Internet security, turning liquid chaos into secure, unpredictable encryption.
Justina Wong, Technical Support Team Lead in Lisbon, talks about what it’s like working at Cloudflare, and everything you need to know if you want to join us.
When 2020 started, it was not in my plans to change jobs and start working at a new company, completely remote, without ever meeting my colleagues in person or visiting the office. However, that is exactly what happened, and I am so glad I did.
Cloudflare Lisbon has come a long way. We now have 74 incredibly talented people working or joining in areas such as Engineering, Security, Infrastructure, Customer Support, People, Places, Product Management, Emerging Technologies or Accounting, and growing fast.
We landed in Lisbon with a small team of transplants from other Cloudflare offices. We’ve almost quadrupled in a year and we intend to keep growing to around 80 by the end of 2020.
I was the 24th employee of Cloudflare and the first outside of San Francisco. Working out of my spare bedroom, I wrote a chunk of Cloudflare’s software before starting to recruit a team in London. Today, Cloudflare London, our EMEA headquarters, has more than 200 people.
