CLOUDFLARE

Cloudflare is committed to building a better Internet for everyone. Research is part of that commitment in contributing to the advancement of bleeding edge technology and in advocating for those changes. We've learned that some of the difficult problems to solve are best approached through computer science research and experimentation to understand the solution before engineering it at scale... Cloudflare employs a hybrid research model similar to the model pioneered by Google. Innovation can come from everywhere in a company, so teams are encouraged to find the right balance between research and engineering activities. The research team works with the same tools, systems, and constraints as the rest of the engineering organization... In 201x, a Cloudflare "Future Crypto" team was spawned from the Security Engineering team with two members: Nick Sullivan and Brendan McMillon. The original focus of the new team was using applied cryptography to design systems and build implementations..
