Details

Cloudflare plans to cut roughly 20 % of its workforce—more than 1,100 employees—as it restructures around an “agentic AI‑first operating model.” In a message to staff, CEO Matthew Prince and co‑founder Michelle Zatlyn said the company is reimagining every team and function to operate in what they described as an agentic AI era.

The layoffs reflect a redesign of internal processes and roles, not a response to employee performance or short‑term cost pressures. Cloudflare noted that its own use of AI has increased more than sixfold over the past three months, prompting major changes in how teams operate.
