Job description

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.

At Cloudflare, 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.

About the Department

The Product Management team at Cloudflare steers the strategy, roadmap, and execution that powers a faster, more secure internet. As part of the Zero Trust Security organization, our mission is to redefine corporate networking and security. We build solutions that protect users, devices, and data globally without sacrificing performance, replacing legacy architectures with our modern, identity-aware global network.

About the role

This role combines focused ownership with range. You will take an emerging product from early adoption to a scaled enterprise capability, while moving across adjacent Cloudflare One priorities where strong product leadership is needed. More than narrow domain expertise, success requires exceptional problem solving, sound judgment, and the ability to quickly understand and lead in new technical areas. This work will help advance Cloudflare’s long-term position in SASE and SSE.

This is a high-judgment role. Success requires navigating conflicting customer signals, making trade-offs with incomplete information, and building trust across engineering and sales teams—work that demands human context and accountability and cannot be delegated to automation.

Responsibilities

• Talk to Customers: Work directly with enterprise security, networking, and IT teams to understand their most important problems. Translate those needs into focused product decisions without overfitting to individual customer requests.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate closely with Engineering, Product Marketing, Sales, Support, and adjacent product teams to deliver high-impact products from concept to global launch.
• Data-Informed Decision Making: Analyze product usage, reliability, support signals, market trends, and competitive capabilities to identify opportunities, make trade-offs, and measure customer outcomes.

Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience:

• Demonstrated Product Leadership: Experience managing technically complex B2B products through the full product lifecycle, with a record of finding the right problem, setting a clear direction, and shipping products customers value.
• AI Fluency: Demonstrated experience using AI assistants, coding tools, and agentic workflows to accelerate product work. You should be comfortable in an AI-native environment where tools like OpenCode are standard infrastructure, not optional perks.
• Strategic Problem Solving: Proven track record of quickly understanding unfamiliar problem spaces, turning ambiguous technical challenges into clear plans, and prioritizing the work that will have the greatest impact.
• Exceptional Communication: Strong ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to both engineering teams and non-technical business stakeholders.
• Judgment Under Ambiguity: Proven ability to synthesize incomplete or conflicting signals, make difficult trade-offs, and take accountability for outcomes.

Bonus Points:

• Ability to reason across endpoint, DNS, HTTP, TLS, proxy, VPN, Wi-Fi, ISP, and application layers and turn difficult diagnostic problems into clear product experiences.
• Experience with Digital Experience Monitoring, endpoint observability, synthetic testing, or network diagnostics.
• Experience designing privacy-sensitive telemetry and administrative controls for enterprise products.

Compensation

Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.

For Portugal based hires: Estimated annual salary is between €55,000 - €76,000.

Equity

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 : 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 Cloudflare’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 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.
