About the Department

Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a massively successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers.

About The Team

The Connectivity team is launching the Zero Trust SIM and the Internet of Things platform. The Internet of Things (IoT) devices represent somewhere in the order of double the number of smartphones connected to the Internet today — and unlike smartphones, this number is expected to continue to grow tremendously, since they aren't bound to the number of humans that can carry them.

This exponential growth in devices has brought with it an explosion in risk. We've been defending against DDoS attacks from Internet of Things (IoT) driven botnets like Mirai and Meris for years now. They keep growing, because securing IoT devices still remains challenging, and manufacturers are often not incentivized to secure them. In true Cloudflare fashion, we think that combining the software layer and the network layer enables better security, performance, and reliability. By targeting a foundational piece of technology that underpins every mobile device — the (not so) humble SIM card — we're aiming to bring an unprecedented level of security (and performance) to the mobile world.

Our opportunity is both huge and unique. This team will have a say in the roadmap and design of our product, which is still in its early days, help with research and build the necessary software to run it.

What you'll do

Cloudflare is looking for a systems engineer to help us build and maintain the codebase that powers our Connectivity services at the edge and its APIs. This is a role for engineers that are familiar with distributed systems' architecture and capable in linux systems design and interaction.

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience

  • Strong Linux systems level programming skills
  • Experience developing with Rust and Golang
  • Experience in designing and architecting large-scale distributed systems
  • Extensive experience with networking at all layers of the protocol stack.
  • Experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs
  • Experience with eBPF and network tunneling protocols like GRE and Geneve
  • An operational mindset - we don't just write code, we also own it in production
  • Knowledge of SQL and common relational database systems such as PostgreSQL
  • Excellent debugging and optimization skills
  • Unit/integration testing experience

Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with containerization development workflows
  • Experience with 3GPP standards (LTE, LTE-M, 5G, Nb-IoT)
  • Experience with network protocols like GTP and diameter

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.
