What you'll do
We're looking for a Senior Windows Software Engineer to join our Zero Trust team. You will be working on the Zero Trust desktop client, 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 predominantly be using Rust along platform-native languages & APIs to implement high-performance networking code that runs on multiple desktop platforms. You'll be expected to improve the code quality and to build solid, testable, and well-documented foundations. You will be most successful in this role if you have a good understanding of Windows internals (virtual memory, multi-threading, process lifecycle, kernel programing, system APIs, etc.) and networking protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, DNS, QUIC, H/3, proxying, etc.). You will also have to interact with other languages, such as Swift, C#, C, and python.
As a 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. You will work on stimulating problems born out of the scale of our deployment, and the stringent quality, performance, and security requirements of our product.
Examples of desirable skills, knowledge, and experience

  • In-depth knowledge of Windows internals, kernel-mode programming, and network protocols
  • Experience in low-level Windows driver development, ideally network drivers
  • Excellent programming skills, with experience writing very high-quality and low-complexity code with thorough documentation.
  • Strong experience writing easily-testable and thoroughly-tested code (e.g. using dependency injection with the right abstractions)
  • Great experience using lower-level languages, such as Rust, C, C++
  • Very comfortable writing multithreaded, asynchronous code
  • Strong experience with debugging network-related problems
  • An understanding of how VPN technologies work, and the trade-offs between privacy, security, and anonymity
  • Good understanding of, and experience with, security protocols and standards
  • Empathetic, proactive, and constructive communication skills, verbal and written
