Role
Who you are
- We are looking for an intellectually curious "scrapper" who proactively looks for ways to solve problems with minimal guidance
- 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 the job involves
- 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
- 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
- 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
Our take
Cloudflare is a multi-service global network that provides web security and infrastructure, DDoS mitigation services, and a content delivery network. Founded in 2009, Cloudflare has risen to become an industry giant, with over 25 million global internet properties on its network.
Cloudflare has been responsible for a number of admirable initiatives, offering free web protection to human rights groups, journalists, artists, and US election websites. This goes some way to counteracting the flak Cloudflare has received in some circles for the controversial groups and users who use its services. This chequered history, however, has not affected its over 80% market share in the content delivery network field.
This is perhaps in part because it has proven sharp at staying abreast of the rapidly morphing tech and digital space and customer demands. For example, Cloudflare is shifting to 100% renewable energy usage to create a zero-emissions internet, and in 2020 released a feature that would help users navigate data privacy regulations by selecting where their data is stored.
And impressive third-quarter 2025 results show strong momentum, with revenue rising to $562 million from $430 million a year earlier. The company also raised its full-year guidance, underscoring confidence in continued growth. As demand for secure, cloud-based infrastructure keeps growing, Cloudflare's expanding platform and improving efficiency leave it well positioned to capture further gains in a rapidly growing market.
