At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. 

We realize people do not fit into neat boxes. We are looking for curious and empathetic individuals who are committed to developing themselves and learning new skills, and we are ready to help you do that. We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare. Come join us!

As a Product Manager at Cloudflare, you will be responsible for building products and workflows that help us improve the way that the Internet works. Product Managers at Cloudflare shape high-level product goals but also get our hands dirty. On an average day, you might pitch a concept to senior leadership, collaborate with other PMs, work with designers to conduct user research, prototype a new feature, iterate on a spec, analyze usage data, and pair with an engineer on implementation.

As the Product Manager for the Productivity Platform, your primary goal is to help improve the efficiency and happiness of internal development teams through enhancements to platform infrastructure (such as the backend for our design system) and developer tooling. You’ll work closely with a strong team of Engineers to build tools and processes to make our engineers’ lives better.

You’ll be responsible for the long-term strategy, roadmap, and delivery of a variety of platforms and tools that enable a good developer experience at Cloudflare. You’ll essentially be building the productivity and engineering tools that we use to deliver products to customers. To put it another way: you will give developers the firepower they need to improve the ~20% of the web that runs on Cloudflare products. This includes areas such as:

• Infrastructure for our design system and UI components. You will pioneer new techniques and tooling to move away from a traditional monolithic application and onto Cloudflare's innovative Web Fragments. You will also help set best practices, evangelize changes across engineering teams, and ensure adoption.
• Champion building “Cloudflare on Cloudflare”. We are serious about using our own customer-facing developer platform for internal use, and improving those tools through dogfooding.
• Developer productivity, developer Insights/SDLC, developer Infrastructure (GitLab, Bitbucket, TeamCity, etc), and release pipeline tooling.

• Customer Engagement: Engage directly with internal customers (primarily systems engineers) to deeply understand their needs. You will be the voice of their needs within this team, ensuring that our productivity platform products are continuously evolving to meet these needs.
• Market Understanding: Keep up to date on industry trends to ensure Cloudflare remains a leader in providing a great developer experience for our teams.
• Product Strategy and Vision: Define and drive the strategic direction for Cloudflare's productivity platform, aligning with broader company objectives and customer needs.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with engineering, design, and other product teams to understand user and business needs, and deliver a developer experience that is valuable and works within the constraints of our business.
• Data-Informed Decision Making: Use data analytics to inform product decisions and measure the impact of new features and improvements.

• Understanding of modern developer tooling with enough fidelity to hold your own with engineers will be highly beneficial. An engineering background would be helpful. An alternate source of credibility on this front might come from having developed a web property yourself.
• Experience with thoughtfully using Generative AI to meaningfully improve the developer experience and increase developer efficiency and code quality.
• Experience designing and running highly available systems that deal with data and traffic at massive scale. 
• At Cloudflare it’s pretty helpful to understand how the Internet really works at layers 2 through 7. If you don’t have this, be prepared to speak with mastery about another realm of similar complexity.

What Makes Cloudflare Special?

We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

Project Galileo: We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists 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: 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.

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. 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.
