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.

As a Product Manager at Cloudflare, you will be responsible for building products that 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 marketing, 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.

Specifically, the Data product team is a growing, tight-knit team of empowered PMs with deep technical knowledge about data, analytics, and logs. We are a highly empathetic team who care deeply about our business, our customers, and our team members.

As the Product Manager for the Data Pipeline, your primary goal is to support and grow the backend data platform at Cloudflare, which allows us to expose powerful Analytics and Logs products to customers. You’ll work closely with a strong team of Engineers on data problems at unparalleled scale. In short, this job is about understanding the data needs of our internal and external customers and the business, and partnering with your team to deliver solutions that are valuable and viable.

 Among other things you’ll be responsible for:

• The resilience of our data infrastructure, ensuring that our data systems scale reliably with the growth of our data volume.
• The quality of the data that flows through our systems, ensuring good governance and hygiene across all systems.
• Working cross-functionally to understand the data growth needs of our internal customers, and collaborate with our engineering team on the best ways to meet those needs.

• Deep technical expertise with data products at scale: For this role we need someone who has a technical background in data warehousing and data pipelines at scale. You are comfortable with accessing and querying large data sets directly. You have built and grown pipelines where data throughput growth is upwards of 70% YoY.
• Customer Engagement: Engage directly with customers (internal and external) to deeply understand their needs. You will be the voice of the customer within Cloudflare, ensuring that our data and analytics products are continuously evolving to meet their needs.
• Market Understanding: Keep up to date on industry trends and competitor activities to ensure Cloudflare remains a leader in cloud connectivity and security.
• Product Strategy and Vision: Define and drive the strategic direction for Cloudflare's data pipeline products, aligning with broader company objectives and customer needs.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with engineering, design, marketing, sales, and support teams to understand user and business needs, and deliver a product experience that is valuable and viable.
• Data-Informed Decision Making: Use data analytics to inform product decisions and measure the impact of new features and improvements.

• Understanding the modern UX stack 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.
• Data-fluency. Can you work directly with data yourself to build confidence in your views and can you use that same data to persuade others?  
• 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.
