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! 

About The Role

We announced Cloudflare Workers in 2017  — since then it’s played a key role in Cloudflare’s strategy for entering the compute market. Until the launch of Workers, as Cloudflare was ramping up its capabilities in the performance and security spaces, it became clear that developers needed more ways to control the edge than rules engines could support.

Over the past few years, Workers has grown from a simple functions-as-a-service option into a complete full-stack platform. We’re growing this platform in new ways, and looking for a Product Manager to drive challenging initiatives, working directly with engineering teams across AI and GPU-based workloads, integrations with external tools and services, to new APIs and observability tooling for Cloudflare Workers.

What You’ll Do

• 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 with 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

Examples Of Desirable Skills, Knowledge And Experience

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
• 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 query languages.
