What you'll do
We’re looking for a Mid-level Software Engineer and a Senior Software Engineer to join our Zero Trust team. You will be working on the cross-platform app and lower-level implementation of our Zero Trust clients, which protects corporate devices by securely and privately sending traffic from those devices to Cloudflare’s global network, which can apply advanced web filtering and advanced Zero Trust policies.
In your role, you will use cross-platform frameworks (Flutter, React Native, Tauri, etc.) along with platform-native languages & APIs to implement responsive and user-friendly apps that run on desktop and mobile platforms. You will also use Rust alongside platform-native languages and APIs to implement high-performance networking code for both our Mobile and Desktop apps.
You’ll be expected to improve the code quality and to build solid, testable, andwell-documented foundations. You will be most successful in this role if you have a good understanding of the intricacies of different platforms (mobile and desktop), experience working on multi-platform code, a decent understanding of lower-level operating system concepts (virtual memory, multi-threading, process lifecycle, etc.) and networking concepts & protocols (VPNs, firewalls, TCP/IP, UDP, DNS, QUIC, H/3, proxying, etc.). You will also have to interact with other languages, such as Swift, Kotlin, C#, C, Java and Rust.
As a Mid or Senior Software Engineer, you will be expected to make significant contributions to the design and implementation of major development projects, working closely with our product managers and other teams to implement customer-impacting features.
