If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in. About the Role Cloudflare's Internal Fraud Platform team is focused on protecting Cloudflare from fraud and abuse: fraudulent signups, promo and trial abuse, payment fraud, chargebacks, and account takeover that cost the company revenue and support overhead. Today the team is built around data science, developing the signals and models that detect this activity. We're hiring our first software engineer to build the platform around that work: ingesting events from the internal systems where fraud shows up (billing, signup, support), evaluating and routing them, and getting decisions and case data in front of the people who act on them. As the founding engineer on this team, you'll be the connective tissue between Cloudflare's internal systems and our fraud detection capabilities. You'll instrument the systems that generate fraud signals, build the pipelines and services that deliver those signals for evaluation, and create the tools our analysts use to investigate and resolve cases. You'll partner closely with data scientists to take models and heuristics from notebook to production, and have meaningful influence over the architecture, tooling, and engineering practices it's built on. Responsibilities Build the Platform: Design, build, and operate the services and pipelines that ingest fraud-relevant events from internal systems (billing, signup, support, and others), evaluate them, and route decisions and case data to the right destinations. Deliver Signals for Scoring: Partner with the team's Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineer to expose the event data and contextual features their models need, and integrate model decisions back into the pipelines and tools that act on them. Build Investigation Tooling: Create the internal tools and workflows that let Trust & Safety, Support, and Finance analysts investigate flagged accounts and events and take action. Own Projects End to End: Drive initiatives from problem definition through design, implementation, rollout, and operation with minimal oversight. In many ways this is a 0-to-1 team, and you'll be expected to fill in the gaps. Ensure Accuracy and Reliability: Build fault-tolerant systems that handle retries, failures, and high event volumes without silently dropping or duplicating fraud signals, and maintain the operational health of what you ship, including addressing the root cause of recurring issues. Shape Technical Direction: As one of the team's first engineers, help establish the architecture patterns, tooling choices, and engineering standards that will scale as the team grows. Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work with Trust & Safety, Data Science, Billing/Fintech, Support, and Product teams to understand fraud vectors and turn them into engineering requirements. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience Five or more years of professional software engineering experience, or equivalent practical experience. Experience building and operating distributed systems or backend services in production. Experience designing and building data or event pipelines (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub, or similar). Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, service security, and API standards such as OpenAPI, OAuth, or JWT. Working knowledge of SQL, data modeling, and relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL. Comfort owning ambiguous, 0-to-1 problems with limited existing infrastructure or precedent. Strong troubleshooting, cross-functional communication, and project ownership skills. Bonus Points Experience in fraud, risk, trust & safety, or payments engineering. Familiarity with ML serving and feature engineering concepts Experience with billing, subscriptions, or other financial/transactional systems. Experience building internal tools or dashboards for non-engineering stakeholders (analysts, support, finance). Compensation Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location. Equity This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare's equity plan. Benefits Cloudflare offers a complete package of benefits and programs to support you and your family. Our benefits programs can help you pay health care expenses, support caregiving, build capital for the future and make life a little easier and fun! The below is a description of our benefits for employees in the United States, and benefits may vary for employees based outside the U.S. Health & Welfare Benefits Medical/Rx Insurance Dental Insurance Vision Insurance Flexible Spending Accounts Commuter Spending Accounts Fertility & Family Forming Benefits On-demand mental health support and Employee Assistance Program Global Travel Medical Insurance Financial Benefits Short and Long Term Disability Insurance Life & Accident Insurance 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Employee Stock Participation Plan Time Off Flexible paid time off covering vacation and sick leave Leave programs, including parental, pregnancy health, medical, and bereavement leave What Makes Cloudflare Special?

Available Locations: Austin, London, or Lisbon (Hybrid) About the role TLS is the connective tissue of the Internet, and Cloudflare terminates a large fraction of it. Every day our network handles tens of millions of certificate operations across products like Universal SSL, SSL for SaaS, Origin CA, Cloudflare Access, and Cloudflare Tunnel — and the WebPKI ecosystem underneath all of it is undergoing its largest structural change in a generation: shorter certificate lifetimes, a shift toward post-quantum-safe signature algorithms, and new automation and trust-establishment mechanisms on the horizon. We are investing in the next generation of Cloudflare’s PKI and cryptographic infrastructure to keep up with, and stay ahead of, that shift. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will design and build the systems that manage certificate lifecycles, protect and use private keys at scale, integrate with hardware security modules, automate issuance and renewal, and take Cloudflare’s cryptographic stack into the post-quantum era. You will work at the intersection of applied cryptography, distributed systems, and security engineering — on infrastructure that a large fraction of the Internet quietly depends on. This is an early-days role on a growing team. The design decisions you make in the first year will shape how Cloudflare’s certificate and key infrastructure operates for years to come. Responsibilities Design and build core PKI systems — certificate lifecycle management, X.509 issuance and validation logic, key parameter enforcement, and policy engines aligned with industry standards including CA/Browser Forum guidance and browser root program policies. Own the cryptographic core. Integrate with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 (and, where required, Level 4) HSMs via PKCS#11 and vendor-native SDKs; build key ceremony and key-lifecycle tooling; enforce strict key-usage boundaries in code. Automate at scale. Build and evolve ACME-based issuance and renewal pipelines, short-lived certificate rotation, and revocation mechanisms that serve at Cloudflare’s global scale. Instrument transparency and audit trails. Integrate with Certificate Transparency, build append-only tamper-evident logging, and design evidence pipelines that hold up to rigorous third-party audit. Maintain accreditation and respond to a changing compliance landscape. PKI operations must maintain compliance under CA/B Forum, WebTrust, and root store program frameworks. You will be aware of, and adapt to, changes in relevant policies, participate in public incident disclosure and discourse, and participate in regular third-party audits. Represent Cloudflare in the WebPKI community. Write public CA incident reports and serve as a primary contact with the WebPKI community; clear technical writing is core to this role. Ship the post-quantum future. Contribute to Cloudflare’s ongoing post-quantum migration — including work on post-quantum encryption and authentication — so that Cloudflare’s cryptographic infrastructure stays ahead of the transition. Own code end-to-end from design through production incident response. Cryptographic infrastructure cannot silently fail; you will build the observability, runbooks, and on-call posture that keep the service inside SLO. Partner across the org — with the SSL/TLS product teams, the HSM and data-centre infrastructure teams, the Cloudflare Research applied cryptography group, and adjacent product teams that consume PKI as a platform. Raise the bar. Mentor other engineers joining an early-stage team, run design reviews, and establish the engineering standards, threat models, and secure-development practices this team will operate under for years. Desirable Skills, Knowledge & Experience 5+ years of production systems software experience, with a strong operational track record — you have carried a pager for something people depend on. Deep working knowledge of applied cryptography and PKI. X.509, ASN.1/DER, RFC 5280, CRL distribution, Certificate Transparency, ACME, and the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements. You do not need to be a cryptographer, but you need to reason precisely about certificate profiles, key parameters, and issuance policy. Familiarity with HSMs. PKCS#11 integration, key ceremonies, key-attestation flows, and understanding of what FIPS 140-2/3 validation actually means in production. Strong systems programming background in at least one of Go, Rust, or C/C++. Distributed systems fluency — you have built or operated globally replicated, availability-critical services with strict correctness guarantees. Experience designing and operating database schemas for high-integrity systems (Postgres or equivalent). Security-hardened system design instincts — threat modelling, defence in depth, least privilege, and secure key handling. Comfort with high-consequence work. A mis-issued or mis-revoked certificate is a public, industry-visible event. You need the temperament to move quickly and the discipline to be careful. Bonus Points Direct experience working on or with a publicly-trusted or private CA, or a large-scale internal PKI (Let’s Encrypt / Boulder, Google Trust Services, DigiCert, Sectigo, ISRG, Entrust, Microsoft PKI, HashiCorp Vault PKI, step-ca, CFSSL, or an internal CA at scale). Experience with crypto/x509 , BoringSSL, OpenSSL/AWS-LC, CFSSL, or an equivalent PKI codebase. Experience with WebTrust for CAs / WebTrust BR / WebTrust Network Security audit engagements. Familiarity with post-quantum cryptography — ML-DSA, ML-KEM, hybrid signature schemes, and the current state of PQ signature standardisation. Familiarity with emerging browser trust-establishment proposals (e.g. Merkle Tree Certificates). Prior participation in the CA/Browser Forum, IETF LAMPS / TLS / PLANTS / PQUIP working groups, the transparency.dev community, or a browser root program review. Experience running or automating offline key ceremonies. Experience operating Certificate Transparency log infrastructure or CT monitoring at scale. Familiarity with formal methods, differential fuzzing, or property-based testing for cryptographic protocol code. Kubernetes experience.
