About The Role

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is typically something that a company will have to understand their systems' security risks and alert when any issues arise. We want to enable SOC teams to leverage Cloudflare data, logging, and events directly in Cloudflare's dashboard. This means we want to add new functionality to understand and react to any threats. This role is all about dealing with large amounts of data and helping customers understand it very quickly, as well as notifying customers about important happenings on that data.

Cloudflare is a system spanning the globe, on a mission to make the Internet better, safer, and more powerful every day. As a Software Engineer at Cloudflare, you'll work on the code that runs close to the end user, runs at a massive scale, and is deployed to 330+ cities around the world.

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 : Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries 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 : In 2017, we created the 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. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.

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.
