Job description

About Us

At the company, 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. the company protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by the company 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. the company was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.

At the company, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in.

Available Locations

• Lisbon (Hybrid)

About the Role

AI Access is one of two central pillars of the company's Act 4 (the other is Agentic Commerce). As bot traffic rises and human traffic declines, publishers and service providers lose the ad and subscription revenue that funds the open web. Without a new model, the economic incentive to create original content may decline or even disappear.

We help the company's customers embrace the Agentic Web by making their content and services available to AI agents on their terms — open to any bot, gated behind payment, or anywhere in between. Help us build a better internet by ushering in a new business model for it.

At the company, performance is about results and behaviors. We value curiosity, transparency, empathy, grit, and doing the principled thing. We're distributed by design — this role is based in London or Lisbon, with regular travel to partners and team offsites.

Content creators should be compensated for the value they create — whether a human or an agent is consuming it. We're helping build the business model for the agentic web. What we ship directly shapes how the AI economy develops over the next two to three years. The trade-off: ambiguous, demanding, high expectations. If you want a legible PM role at a big company, this isn't it. If you want to own the product side of a thesis that matters, it is.

Responsibilities

• Drive the strategy and roadmap across a suite of products that help content creators protect, value, and earn compensation for their work, and adjacent AI Access products

• Deliver product specifications, prototypes, product positioning, and high-impact launches

What Makes the company 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 the company’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 the company 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.
