At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. 

We realize people do not fit into neat boxes. We are looking for curious and empathetic individuals who are committed to developing themselves and learning new skills, and we are ready to help you do that. We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare. Come join us! 

Available Location: Lisbon, PortugalAbout the Role

Cloudflare is seeking an intern to support a key project focused on gathering intelligence across the team to enhance data and reporting capabilities. Working closely with our Operations Manager, the intern will engage with team members across EMEA and globally to identify reporting requirements that drive better results. 

The project will follow a structured approach, beginning with a discovery phase where the intern will meet with stakeholders to gather insights on reporting needs and data requirements. This will be followed by analysis and categorisation, organising and prioritising the collected information into clear areas of focus. The next step involves validation, where findings will be reviewed with stakeholders to confirm accuracy and refine requirements. The intern will then collaborate with the analytics team to assess existing data sources and identify gaps. Finally, they will compile detailed recommendations for immediate action and develop a roadmap for future improvements. 

This internship offers an excellent opportunity to build analytical, stakeholder engagement, and problem-solving skills while gaining hands-on experience in data-driven decision-making.

What Makes Cloudflare Special?

We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

Project Galileo: Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost.

Athenian Project: In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.

1.1.1.1: We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here’s the deal - we don’t store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
