We are looking for a Cloudflare-focused System Engineer to take ownership of Cloudflare operations and help move their environment from log-only mode to active WAF protection.

This is an opportunity to be the dedicated Cloudflare SME and make a major impact on security posture, application reliability, and audit readiness.

• Serve as the primary administrator for Cloudflare across multiple domains
• Manage WAF tuning, rule creation, false-positive review, and safe enforcement rollouts
• Analyze Cloudflare traffic logs, identify malicious patterns, and recommend protections
• Work closely with application teams to test, validate, and negotiate rule changes
• Support DNS, proxying, SSL/TLS, caching, and performance configurations
• Collaborate with security, infrastructure, and cloud teams on protection strategies
• Assist with compliance requirements (HIPAA, PII, audit items)
• Contribute to cloud efforts (primarily GCP, some AWS) as needed — ~20% of the role
• Document processes, assist in incident response, and share best practices

2+ years of hands‑on Cloudflare administration

Strong experience with:

• DNS, proxying, SSL/TLS
• Traffic and log analysis
• Caching/Performance fundamentals
• Experience working with application teams to troubleshoot false positives
• Solid cloud background — GCP preferred, AWS nice-to-have
• Good communication skills — must work cross‑functionally with infra, security, and app owners
• Ability to guide a phased rollout from logging → enforcement mode

Hybrid role: onsite Mon–Thurs in Lisle, IL (flexibility as needed)
