Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet. Project Galileo: Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost. Athenian Project: In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states. 1.1.1.1: We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver.

We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers. ## Skills ### Required - Python - ML frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers and Diffusers, Cog) - Technical writing - Public speaking - Community engagement - Partnership experience - Prototyping ### Nice to have - Cloudflare Workers - Serverless/edge architectures - Full-stack experience (JavaScript/TypeScript) - Model fine-tuning - Vector databases - ML research - Image, video, or audio models --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/8028747?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
