About the team
The Zero Trust Connectivity team builds the hub that connects Cloudflare One and Zero Trust products such as Magic WAN, WARP, Cloudflare Tunnels and Gateway. Powering this hub is a set of Rust-based services operating on every one of the data-centers that Cloudflare runs. These services route all of Cloudflare One traffic end to end. By leveraging Cloudflare's incredible infrastructure and programming languages such as Rust, this critical service is safe, performant and secure.
We are a team of engineers who obsess over building reliable services which leverage Cloudflare's unique architecture and global network footprint.
