Description
At Cloudflare, we're at the heart of how the web functions and have our eyes set on an ambitious goal: to build a better internet. We believe that with our talented team, cutting-edge technology and engaged users, we can solve some of the biggest problems on the web. We already serve more traffic than Twitter, Bing, Wikipedia, Amazon, Apple, Tumblr and Instagram combined and recently expanded into new offices in San Francisco's SoMa district to accommodate our rapid growth. Anytime we push a line of code, it affects over 1 billion (yes, billion) web surfers. We are a friendly team at just over 300 people worldwide, funded by some of the best-known VC names in the business. We’re focused on building a world-class company, and now looking for an eager tech-minded intern to join the Legal Team for roughly 2-3 months over the summer of 2017.
Interested candidates should possess strong analytical, writing, and communications skills, and have an interest in the intersection of law and technology.
