GRC Engineer

What you'll do Automation & Engineering: Develop and implement automated solutions to improve GRC processes and operations, integrating with existing security, engineering, and AI tools. You will build modules and maintain our GRC platform and other similar initiatives. AI Governance: Architect and maintain a technical governance framework for the safe deployment of autonomous AI agents. This includes ensuring that agentic workflows operate within deterministic "action gates" and predefined risk thresholds. Audit & Infrastructure: Support Cloudflare’s security assessments (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, FedRAMP). You will treat "Audit Readiness" as a product, ensuring our global edge network remains compliant through automated drift detection and self-healing configurations. Security Integration: Work cross-functionally with Legal, People, Engineering, and Finance teams to integrate security into the fabric of the company, moving away from "gatekeeping" toward a paved-road security model where compliance is the default state for every developer. Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience: Experience: Have 5+ years of experience in security, compliance, automation, or engineering functions in a fast-paced environment. The Builder Mindset: You are a builder and enjoy building technical solutions to complex and messy problems. You’d rather write a script to solve a problem forever than manually check a box twice. AI Mastery: Experience designing or implementing AI-powered automation and agentic workflows. You understand the unique risks of non-deterministic systems and how to govern them. Compliance-as-Code: Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi) and Policy as Code (OPA/Rego) implementation. You know how to enforce security guardrails before code is ever deployed. Technical Stack: Proficient in Python, Go, or other scripting languages for automation, API interactions, and data parsing. You are comfortable working with REST APIs to glue disparate security tools together. Proven experience building modern web applications, including JavaScript/TypeScript and React, and collaborating effectively across frontend and backend boundaries. The Motto: Driven by curiosity, anchored by empathy, and defined by a relentless ability to get things done. You seek to understand the "why," support your peers, and ship high-quality outcomes. Bonus Points: Community & Passion: Demonstrated passion for security and software development, such as personal projects, open-source contributions, or active participation in the security research community. Cloudflare Native: You’ve built something with our developer platform using our products (e.g., Cloudflare Workers, R2, D1, or Workers AI ). You understand our ecosystem because you’ve used it.

We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet. Project Galileo : Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost. Athenian Project : In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states. 1.1.1.1 : We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here’s the deal - we don’t store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers. Sound like something you’d like to be a part of?
