Role
Who you are
- 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
- The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial-minded and thrives in a fast-paced and goal-driven environment
- You have outstanding communication and collaboration skills and are able to work with a diverse group, get alignment, and drive the product forward
- You are execution focused and emphasize getting things done while paying attention to important details
- Proven track record of shipping developer-facing products from ideation to launch
- Experience distilling complex topics into easily understood written documents for stakeholders across levels and functions
- Developer focus — you’ll be working directly, and often be a part of the customers team in helping them get their initial implementation off the ground
- BS/MS in a technology field
- Professional product management experience (3-4 years)
- Strong technical abilities. You are intimately familiar with modern software development practices used to build and deploy applications. You are capable of wading into the details & understanding engineering decisions’ impact on the product, but can also drive 30k foot view
- A desire to sweat the details and ship great developer experiences
- Experience using developer tools (such as source-control management tools, CLIs, etc)
- A love for talking to developers at organizations both large and small on a daily basis so that you can build and ship products that solve real problems
- Scripting/programming experience (Javascript, Rust, Go, etc.) and/or experience with using Cloudflare Workers or other serverless runtimes are considered a significant bonus
- Please note that any offer of employment may be conditioned on your authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export laws without sponsorship for an export license
What the job involves
- You’ll be responsible for driving, building and shipping some of the most critical services at Cloudflare, including Workers KV (a globally distributed key-value store), Queues, our async task processing product, and considering what future products we need to build to solve problems in the storage and messaging space for developers
- Workers KV underpins a large number of critical-path customer applications and Cloudflare-internal applications, and is one of the highest traffic services we have today. A tremendous number of customers rely on KV to store and serve configuration, routing and authentication data for every client they serve
- Queues is used for asynchronous task processing, log buffering, and cross-cloud messaging. It’s currently in beta, and this role will be responsible for taking Queues to GA and ensuring we’re shipping useful capabilities that help customers use Queues more easily
- You’ll be responsible for growing all of these products, ensuring they are highly reliable, and engaging directly with developers from organizations of all sizes to understand how we can address their problems
- Drive the strategy, roadmap & represent your products across the organization
- Lead projects from ideation through launch, and continuing through ongoing maintenance and support
- Develop and nurture relationships with engineering and coordinate closely to ensure successful delivery of product
- Partner with other departments such as Product Marketing, Marketing, Community & developer advocacy, Sales, and Customer Support to drive adoption and gather feedback from customers and prospects
- Ruthlessly prioritize across a complex environment of diverse customers, stakeholders and objectives
- Represent the company externally as needed, including meetings with customers and prospects and analysis
- Delve into market research to drive new investments opportunities
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.
