Security Engineer (Edge SOC)
About CloudWalk
We are not just another fintech unicorn. We are a pack of dreamers, makers, and tech enthusiasts building the future of payments. With millions of customers and a hunger for innovation, we’re now expanding our neural network - literally and metaphorically. This is not a traditional SOC role. We’re building a self-driving SOC: agents that watch the edge, detect abuse, investigate, and respond on their own, with humans stepping in only when it really matters. Your job is to build that system, make it trustworthy, and keep raising how much it can handle without us. If you’d rather engineer the thing that does the work than do the same work every day, this role is for you.
About this role
- Build the self-driving SOC. Design and ship LLM-powered agents that triage alerts, investigate incidents, and take action at the edge, end to end.
- Build detection platforms. Engineer the services, pipelines, and agents that turn edge telemetry into detection and response, with everything defined as code.
- Defend the edge. Design and operate WAF rules, rate limits, and edge logic that stop bots, scanners, and abuse at scale, without hurting real customers.
- Investigate and respond. Dig into suspicious traffic and security events, figure out what’s really happening, and drive the fix, whether it belongs at the edge or in the application.
What You Need To Succeed
- Strong understanding of web and API attacks and abuse patterns, and how to tell legitimate traffic from malicious traffic.
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs or AI agents (tool use, evaluation, guardrails), and an instinct for where automation fails.
- Experience with a CDN or edge platform (Cloudflare or similar): WAF, rate limiting, edge compute.
- You code daily. Proficiency in Typescript, Go, or similar, not just scripts, but tools and services others can rely on. Familiarity with infrastructure as code and CI/CD.
- Self-driven: you find the problem, own it, and ship the fix without waiting to be asked. Clear, direct communication with engineering teams.
Nice to Have
- Experience in a SOC, incident response, or on-call environment.
- Direct experience with the Cloudflare ecosystem, specifically Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare WAF, or Cloudflare Workers AI.
- Experience evaluating and hardening AI agents in production (false positives, prompt injection, safe actions).
- Background in cybersecurity, such as building Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS), threat hunting, or analyzing malware.
- Familiarity with payment industry security (PCI DSS, card tokenization, acquiring flows).
- Contributions to open-source security/ML tools, published security research, or CTF participation.
