Why you should join us

As a Security Platform Engineer at Cloudflare you will help us provide a secure infrastructure for one of the biggest online platforms in the world, handling extensive amounts of traffic at very low latency. You will be instrumental at defining the vision to help secure Cloudflare going forward.

Cloudflare firmly believes that security is an integral part of our product offerings, and the qualified candidate will directly contribute to delivering on that promise.

We're an engineering team focused on building scalable and paradigm-shifting security platforms for production systems. We are still a small team, well-funded, growing quickly and focused on building an extraordinary company. This is a superb opportunity to join a high-performing team and scale our high-growth network as Cloudflare's business grows.

What you'll do

The team is working on a number of large projects in 2022. Below is a sample of initiatives:

• Secrets Management -- We're currently using Vault as trusted execution environment, and we're continuing to our work integrating it with other platforms

• PKI Infrastructure -- We're upgrading and improving our current PKI Infrastructure by layering it on top of Vault.

• Production Access Control -- Access to production systems are backed by exceptional requirements, minimally-permissive and time-limited

• Authenticated Service Mesh -- We're building a consistent way to manage and enforce mutual authentication and access policies on service-to-service communication

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience

• This is not an entry level role. We expect candidates to have experience identifying and mitigating security issues in production services and in pre-production planning.
• You have knowledge of basic cryptography primitives and standard protocols.
• Experience working on highly distributed and scalable systems.
• You will design, deploy, and manage tools that automate security functions and improve efficiencies throughout Cloudflare's infrastructure.
