The two traits we really try to hire for are curiosity—people who are just relentlessly curious, want to learn new things, and put themselves in new challenges—and empathy—the ability to actually listen, change your mind, and see the world from other people's perspectives.

When we're most successful at developing products, the very first & best customer for those products is 'Cloudflare' itself.

If you can find people who are curious and empathetic, you can teach them anything, and they'll learn anything. They're also more fun to hang out with.
