Engineering Manager, Bots & Fraud

Available Locations: Austin, TX; Washington D.C.; New York City

Our team builds the products that answer "Can we trust this traffic?" Knowing who's human, who's an agent, and who's a malicious actor is core to Cloudflare's strategy, and one of the primary values we deliver to our customers.

Our products address a broad and evolving range of traffic integrity challenges. Examples include managing unwanted scraping, controlling access for bots and AI agents, and identifying fraud and abuse while minimizing friction for legitimate users. Our products make probabilistic decisions in an adversarial environment, using Cloudflare's global network signals, threat intelligence, and machine learning. We turn those signals into analytics and controls that customers can understand, trust, and act on. These are challenging engineering problems at the intersection of distributed systems, data, security, and customer experience.
