Respond to live customer security incidents at Cloudflare's edge — from active DDoS mitigation to full incident-response lifecycle management.
Cloudflare is hiring an Incident Response Analyst for its Cloudforce One REACT consulting team in Bengaluru, responding to customer security incidents across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. The role spans active edge mitigation (WAF rules, L3/L4 DDoS shunning), full IR lifecycle support, and direct engagement with customer stakeholders up to executive level. This interview probes hands-on incident response skill, attack-pattern knowledge (L3-L7, bot/API abuse), and the ability to communicate technical findings clearly under pressure.
