Role DescriptionThe Network Operations Center ("NOC") Analyst provides premium-level support for Cloudflare's largest and most technically sophisticated customers. The NOC service will focus on monitoring, alerting, and addressing issues related to availability and latency degradation in Layer 7 traffic, as well as handling basic security escalations and offering recommendations to mitigate fundamental attacks. The NOC system will monitor HTTP requests for alert-able conditions, and our NOC team will alert customers about problems as soon as they are found.
NOC Engineers analyze the alerts, inform the customer of any material impact, and proactively put in motion a remediation path to resolving the degraded service, whether that be by moving traffic through a new route or working with the Systems Reliability Engineering team for a quick product fix or to declare a broader incident. The team also provides reporting and analysis to the customer in regular cadence, beyond any report that would be self-serviceable within the Cloudflare UI.

Athenian Project: We created 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.

This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here's the deal - we don't store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
