At Cloudflare, we have our eyes set on an ambitious goal: to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers approximately 25 million Internet properties, for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. 

We realize people do not fit into neat boxes. We are looking for curious and empathetic individuals who are committed to developing themselves and learning new skills, and we are ready to help you do that. We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare. Come join us! 

Cloudflare helps build the future of the Internet. We started Cloudflare to solve one half of every IT organization's challenge: how do you ensure the resources and infrastructure that you expose to the Internet are safe from attack, fast, and reliable. We saw that the world was moving away from hardware and software to solve these problems and instead wanted a scalable service that would work around the world. To deliver that, we built one of the world's largest networks. Today our network spans more than 250 cities worldwide and is within milliseconds of nearly everyone connected to the Internet. We have built the capacity to stand up to nation-state scale cyberattacks and a threat intelligence system powered by the immense amount of Internet traffic that we see.

We are now expanding Cloudflare’s product offerings to solve the other half of every IT organization's challenge: ensuring the people and teams within an organization can access the tools they need to do their jobs and are safe from malware and other online threats.

To do that, we released Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform, a Zero Trust platform built on Cloudflare’s network to secure users, devices, and data in organizations of any size. Cloudflare for Teams consists of multiple products that deliver a comprehensive solution. Those products include

• Cloudflare Access, built to replace VPNs and protect internally-managed applications.
• Cloudflare Tunnel, the best way to connect your infrastructure to Cloudflare in a secure way.
• Cloudflare Gateway, a tool that keeps team members protected from malware and other threats on the Internet.
• The Cloudflare Zero Trust Agent, the secure on-ramp for your traffic to the Internet.
• Cloudflare Browser Isolation, the Internet’s fastest browser isolation technology

The newest product in the group, Cloudflare Data Loss Prevention (DLP), helps customers secure the data that powers their business without slowing down their team members. We’re excited to launch a next generation data control platform on Cloudflare’s network.  We’re building a team to create that future.

In this role you will contribute to the Cloudflare for Teams product family by building our new Data Loss Prevention (DLP) offering. This ambitious new product will be the Internet’s most comprehensive and performant DLP solution built on a global network that accelerates connections. You will focus on our high-performance global edge network services and will also contribute to the control plane API’s that configure the edge services. You will be joining a team of bright, hard-working, and supportive engineers who really care about their craft.

Example of systems that the team currently is building:

• A forward-proxy service running on every machine of Cloudflare’s extensive edge network, responsible for inspecting, filtering, and blocking device requests based on an organization’s configured policy.
• A software defined routing system to interconnect our users devices and endpoints.
• Remote Browsing sandbox capabilities
• A policy engine that can run Zero Trust architecture on any network connection from customer devices and servers
• Microservices that allow organizations to configure, manage, and observe their organization's devices and their respective traffic.

Technologies we use:

• Core edge services are written in Rust and Go and deployed globally to 250+ data centers.
• Our REST API is also written in Rust and Go, runs on Kubernetes, and uses Postgres as a data store.
• Our frontend is written in Typescript and React
• For service monitoring we use Prometheus and Grafana
• For service logging we use Elasticsearch and Kibana
• For product analytics we use Clickhouse and BigQuery

Because you’ll be solving problems of massive scale and significance, and shaping the future of the Internet, you are a growth-oriented individual who enjoys being outside of your comfort zone in a fast-paced environment.

As an ideal candidate for this position, you are curious, hard-working, and passionate.

A rough list of the skills we would love to see you bring:

• Solid programming skills, preferably with experience programming in Rust.

• Basic understanding of software security and encryption
• Experience in designing and implementing secure and highly-available distributed systems
• Willingness, curiosity, and enthusiasm to learn new programming languages, technologies, and systems

What Makes Cloudflare Special?

We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

Project Galileo: We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost.

Athenian Project: We created Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration.

Path Forward Partnership: Since 2016, we have partnered with Path Forward, a nonprofit organization, to create 16-week positions for mid-career professionals who want to get back to the workplace after taking time off to care for a child, parent, or loved one.

1.1.1.1: We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here’s the deal - we don’t store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
