About the Role
As an AI Automation Intern, you will be at the tactical center of integrating an acquired target company into Cloudflare. Your mission is to solve the "fragmentation problem" by centralizing tracking and updates from various workstreams—such as HR, Finance, and IT—into a unified view of progress. We are looking for an intellectually curious "scrapper" who proactively looks for ways to solve problems with minimal guidance. Whether you build an agent from scratch or leverage existing AI tools like Gemini and NotebookLM, your goal is to make it easier for the M&A team to manage the overall integration.
Responsibilities- Automate Executive Reporting: Design and deploy workflows to automate the generation of executive-level reports on integration progress, ensuring leadership has proper visibility into the health of the deal.
- Tactical Project Automation: Build "quick and dirty" or structured solutions to automate the "chasing" of action items, gathering status updates, and reminding the deal team of past decisions.
- Knowledge Retrieval: Use AI tools to organize and query past meeting notes and deal documents so the team can instantly recall critical commitments.
- Process Documentation: Write clear technical requirement specifications and process maps that detail how these automated tracking and reporting workflows function.
- Currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree in Economics, Finance, Business Administration or a related field.
- Available for a full-time 12-week internship, working from one of our US hub offices 3-5 days a week during the summer (May-August).
- Intellectual Curiosity: A natural drive to explore new technologies and a "figure it out" mentality when faced with ambiguous tasks or minimal guidance.
- AI & Automation Fluency: Practical experience using LLM interfaces (like Gemini or NotebookLM) or automation platforms to organize unstructured data and summarize complex information.
- Analytical Writing: Strong ability to draft technical documentation and translate messy project management hurdles into logical, automated workflows.
- Autonomous Execution: Proven ability to manage a project from an initial "messy" idea through to a functional, validated solution.
- Technical Foundation: Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related analytical field.
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: 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. 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.
