Cloudforce One - Software Engineer

Available Location: Mexico City About the Team
Cloudforce One is Cloudflare's threat operations and research team, responsible for identifying and disrupting cyber threats ranging from sophisticated cyber criminal activity to nation-state sponsored advanced persistent threats (APTs). Cloudforce One works in close partnership with external organizations and internal Cloudflare teams, continuously developing operational tradecraft and expanding ever-growing sources of threat intelligence to enable expedited threat hunting and remediation. Members of Cloudforce One are at the helm of leveraging an incredibly vast and varied set of data points that only one of the world's largest global networks can provide. The team is able to analyze these unique data points, at massive scale and efficiency, synthesizing findings into actionable threat intelligence to better protect our customers.
About the Role
Cloudflare is a system spanning the globe, on a mission to make the internet better, safer, and more powerful everyday. To help fulfill this mission, we are seeking a talented Security Engineer to join us in growing our Cloudforce One Organization, where you will be instrumental in building a proactive and threat intelligence-driven approach to protecting Cloudflare and its customers from sophisticated and ever-evolving global threat actors. This position requires an innovative, self-starting, and detail-oriented problem solver with a passion for identifying, tracking, and assessing sophisticated cyber threats.
As a Cloudforce One Security Engineer, you will develop critical services to monitor and disrupt cyber threat activity across multiple platforms, supporting both client requests and proactive internal research. You will serve an integral role in the discovery and analysis of cyber threat adversaries, building pipelines to collect and expose this data for our Cloudforce One analysts and Cloudflare customers. The services you create will help identify Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) of ongoing and ever-evolving cyber attacks to protect our global customer base. Lastly, you will work in close collaboration with team members to develop new and innovative ways to present and interact with Cloudflare's unique insights.
We are hiring for an entry-level software engineer position; however, strong candidates should be able to write reliable code, preferably in Golang or TypeScript. As a member of the team you will be responsible for contributing to and deploying team codebases to coalesce traits of an attack. You will also work both as a self-driven individual contributor and alongside a team to achieve a common goal.
