Role Summary

As a Product Security Engineer, you will support security assessments and vulnerability operations for Cloudflare’s core software products. In this role, you will analyze system architecture, threat model new features, and ensure that product-related security findings are accurately triaged, routed to the correct engineering owners, and mitigated within our SLAs.

On any given day, you might conduct a deep-dive security review on a new feature design, triage a complex bug bounty submission, or work directly with engineering teams to resolve vulnerabilities from different sources like bug bounties, SAST, fuzzing and penetration tests. You will also work autonomously to identify areas where our manual processes slow down. You will write code and integrate AI/LLM solutions to automate initial triage and data enrichment, building tools that help the team handle security findings at scale. In short, your work will sit at the intersection of Product Security, Vulnerability Operations, and internal AI Tooling. Ideally, you have experience in conducting academic/vulnerability research with a focus on systems security.

Responsibilities

• Implement AI Security Solutions: Identify process bottlenecks and build AI-driven tools or scripts to help automate code analysis, optimize triage, and streamline Product Security workflows.
• Security Reviews & Threat Modeling: Conduct structured security reviews and threat modeling sessions (e.g., STRIDE) across product features, defining security requirements early in the development lifecycle.
• Product Vulnerability Management: Manage the operational lifecycle of product security findings. Ensure vulnerabilities are verified, mapped to the correct engineering owner, and tracked to mitigation in alignment with established SLAs.
• Bug Bounty Triage: Perform the technical triage and validation of Cloudflare’s external Bug Bounty submissions, verifying exploitability and evaluating business risk.
• Pentest Coordination: Support internal and external penetration testing engagements by reviewing findings, clarifying technical context, and assisting development teams with remediation strategies.
• Engineering Collaboration: Partner closely with DevOps and product teams, acting as a reliable security point of contact and helping developers implement secure coding practices.

Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience

• Product/AppSec Expertise: 5+ years of experience in Product or Application Security within large-scale distributed cloud environments or SaaS platforms.
• Practical AI & Automation Engineering: Demons
