About the Role

Cloudflare is seeking a Summer Intern to join our Infrastructure team. We build tools and systems that help plan and automate how Cloudflare’s global infrastructure grows over time. Our work connects real hardware—servers, switches, racks, power, and space—with software that models supply, demand, and deployment schedules.

As an intern, you’ll write code to improve internal planning workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and make infrastructure data more accessible to partner teams. This role is a great fit for students interested in data analytics and gaining exposure to real-world systems and operations.

This internship blends software engineering with real-world infrastructure problems. You’ll ship code that helps accelerate physical deployment at global scale, not just simulated or theoretical projects.

What You'll Do

You will contribute to areas such as:

Building scripts, services, or small applications to automate planning and lifecycle tasks
Working with data related to infrastructure capacity and deployments
Creating internal tools or dashboards to improve visibility and support decision-making
Improving data quality and reducing manual processes
Collaborating with engineers to integrate planning logic into existing systems

Projects are scoped to support learning, mentorship, and iteration throughout the internship.

Who You’ll Work With

You will collaborate with engineers and planners across:

Infrastructure Capacity Planning
Supply Chain & Procurement
Data Center Operations
Hardware Lifecycle Engineering

Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience:

We’d love to see:

Currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree, ideally in fields such as: Engineering (e.g.Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial), Computer Science / Software Engineering, Information Systems / Information Technology, Mathematics / Applied Mathematics, Data Science, Physics, Economics / Finance / Business Administration
Available for a full-time 12-week internship, working from our Lisbon office 3-5 days a week during the summer (May-August)
Programming experience in at least one language (Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar), as well as experience with data querying tools (e.g., BigQuery)
Professional proficiency in English
Interest in data analytics, data, or infrastructure
Curiosity about how large-scale systems are built and operated
Ability to make small decisions and propose solutions independently
Willingness to learn, ask questions, and collaborate
