Senior Engineering Manager - Cloudforce One

About Us

At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.

At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. 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 team

Cloudflare’s mission is to help build a better internet and the Threat Application Services (TAS) team lives at the core of that effort. The team builds the automated services and systems that transform Cloudflare’s massive network telemetry into actionable intelligence. We empower customers with products to combat advanced threats, enabling them to query, investigate, and automatically mitigate attacks using Cloudflare’s unique visibility into global threat actor activity.

At a high level, the Threat Application Services team is the engineering engine within Cloudforce One. We are responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of threat intelligence data, from ingestion and enrichment to exposing high-fidelity indicators through the Threat Events platform and high-performance APIs. Our work ensures that threat intelligence is not just a report, but a scalable, real-time defensive layer across the Cloudflare stack.

About the Role

This role is for the Senior Engineering Manager of the Threat Application Services team within Cloudforce One’s Engineering organization. You will lead a team of high-performing engineers dedicated to building and scaling the Cloudforce One Threat Events platform, our external Threat Intel APIs, and the backend systems that integrate Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) directly into products like WAF and Gateway for automated mitigation. You will also lead hiring efforts to expand our engineering capabilities as we build the next generation of agentic threat intelligence tools.

What you'll do

You will be responsible for the architectural direction and operational excellence of the services owned by your team, ensuring our intelligence platforms meet the latency and reliability requirements of Enterprise security operations. You will also drive the professional development of your direct reports and collaborate with product managers and security researchers to turn complex threat data into intuitive, automated customer experiences.

You thrive in a fast-paced environment where software engineering meets security research. You have experience delivering scalable distributed systems, managing complex data pipelines, and leading teams through the transition from "getting things done" to building world-class, reliable products.

This role may require flexibility to be on-call outside of standard working hours to address technical issues as needed
