Benjamin Yule is a seasoned engineering leader with 10+ years building distributed systems and developer platforms, currently VP of Engineering at Cloudflare where he oversees Workers Compute, Storage, AI inference, and Media platforms. He has a rare blend of hands-on embedded systems and product leadership experience—from low-power medical wearables and FDA-cleared RPM platforms as CTO of Spire Health to real-time, edge-first serverless compute and container orchestration at Cloudflare. Ben excels at turning hardware-constrained innovations (multi-month battery life respiratory sensors and patented form factors) into commercially successful products and then scaling those lessons into cloud-native developer platforms. Comfortable in both startup and enterprise contexts, he brings deep systems knowledge (Kafka, ClickHouse, Go, diverse CPU architectures) and a pragmatic focus on making things people want.
