What you'll do
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Zero Trust Client Platform team. You will oversee the core platform for our desktop and mobile clients (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android), which protects corporate devices by securely routing traffic to Cloudflare's global network for advanced filtering and policy enforcement.
You will play a key role in shaping the team's engineering strategy, working with other engineering teams, product management, and external stakeholders to implement customer-impacting features and meet the team's ambitious goals of quality, reliability, and high-availability. You will work closely with your team to maintain the code quality and to build solid, testable, and well-documented code.
As a manager in our team, you will be expected to lead, inspire, and foster a culture of diversity. You will communicate clearly and with empathy, and work towards building a cohesive and collaborative team. You will be expected to interact with our customers and internal stakeholders, to identify gaps and areas of improvements in our product and processes alike, and to work with your own stakeholders to transform those into innovative, actionable, and achievable solutions.
The team predominantly uses Rust to implement high-performance networking code that runs on multiple platforms. You will be most successful in this role if you have a strong understanding of networking protocols (IP, TCP, UDP, DNS, QUIC, H/3, proxying, etc.) and experience building and maintaining SDKs on Windows, macOS and Linux platforms.
