Engineering Manager - Security Platform

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., The Security Platform team is an infrastructure/developer tools group tasked with building and operating powerful, resilient, and secure infrastructure and systems that enable other engineering teams to deliver products to our customers efficiently and securely. We are responsible for secrets management, internal certificate authorities/PKI, machine and workload identity, and more. This is not a policy, audit, or compliance team, but rather an infrastructure engineering/software development one.

What You'll Do

You'll lead the team in building and operating secure and resilient distributed systems for secrets and key management, running across our network that spans more than 310 cities in over 120 countries. The team's focus is strengthening/re-architecting internal PKI and machine/workload identity. You'll run and support the systems we build, both in an operational sense and by helping other internal developers use them.

You'll organize and plan the team's long-term roadmap and day-to-day work. You'll review and sign off on technical designs, project plans, and code; providing guidance to ensure quality, resilience, and security. You'll participate in design and implementation, personally leading projects as needed. You'll support the growth and career development of your team, delegating tasks as appropriate. People management responsibilities (performance management, compensation planning, etc) may be entirely in your hands or supported by senior management, depending on your level and preferences.

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

• Team leadership/management; level and years of experience are flexible.
• Excellent verbal and written communication.
• Software development and distributed systems design expertise.
