Product Manager, Developer Tools

About Us

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 Product Management At Cloudflare

As a Product Manager at Cloudflare, you will be responsible for building products and workflows that help us improve the way the Internet works. Product Managers at Cloudflare shape high-level product goals but also get our hands dirty. On an average day, you might pitch a concept to senior leadership, collaborate with other PMs, conduct user research, prototype a new feature, iterate on a spec, analyze usage data, and pair with an engineer on implementation.

About The Role

As a Senior Product Manager for Internal Developer Tooling, your mission is to change how Cloudflare engineers build, test, and ship software. You'll own the strategy for internal developer tools and platforms, with a particular focus on how AI and automation can fundamentally improve engineering velocity and quality.

This isn't a maintenance role. We're looking for someone who sees the current moment in AI-assisted development as an opportunity to rethink workflows from scratch, not just bolt copilots onto existing processes. You'll work with a strong engineering team and partner across the organization to:

Rethink Developer Workflows End-to-end

From code generation through production deployment, identify where automation and AI can eliminate entire categories of toil, not just speed up existing steps

Build The Ai-assisted Development Stack

Code generation, automated review, intelligent debugging, workflow automation. Move beyond "developer uses a chatbot" toward systems that actively improve code quality and velocity

Drive Developer Insights

Metrics, dashboards, and tooling that help teams understand their own velocity, quality, and bottlenecks, and that feed back into smarter automation

Strengthen Developer Infrastructure

Build systems, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment automation that serve as the foundation for everything above

Champion Cloudflare On Cloudflare

Use our own developer platform internally, and improve those products through real-world dogfooding

Key Responsibilities

Own The Devtools Roadmap

Define priorities, make tradeoffs, and maintain a clear view of what we’re building and why.

Run Discovery With Engineering Teams

Conduct regular research with internal developers to identify pain points, validate solutions, and measure adoption.

Define And Track Success Metrics

Establish measurable outcomes for developer productivity initiatives—build times, deployment frequency, developer satisfaction, etc.

Write Prds And Specs

Author clear product documentation that frames the problem, success criteria, and constraints—while leaving room for engineering to determine the best approach.

Partner With Engineering Leadership

Collaborate on quarterly planning, staffing allocation, and cross-team dependencies.

Communicate Across The Org

Keep stakeholders informed on progress, decisions, and upcoming changes. Evangelize new tools and drive adoption.

Key Competencies

Problem-first Thinking

You understand problems deeply before jumping to solutions. You bring the team along on the journey—sharing context, inviting input, and building shared understanding before arriving at a solution.

Outcomes Orientation

You define success in terms of measurable impact, not activities or deliverables. You ask “How will we know it worked?” before building.

Cross-functional Partnership

You collaborate effectively with engineering, design, and other product teams. You work well asynchronously and respect people’s time.

Data-informed Decision Making

You use data to inform product decisions and measure impact—but you know when data is insufficient and judgment is required.

Technical Credibility

You can hold your own in conversations with engineers about architecture, tradeoffs, and implementation approaches.

Ai Fluency

You actively use AI tools in your own work and stay current on how AI is changing software development. You can separate signal from hype and focus on what actually improves developer outcomes.

Clear Communication

You write and speak with precision. You prefer outcomes over activities, and direct feedback over hedging.

Bonus Points

An engineering background or experience building software yourself. This gives you credibility with engineering teams and helps you understand their world.

Experience With Developer Productivity Tools, Build Systems, Or Ci/cd Pipelines—either As A Pm Or As A User.

Comfort with ambiguity. Internal platform work often lacks the clear market signals of customer-facing products. You’ll need to define success criteria and prioritize without perfect information.

Experience thoughtfully applying Generative AI to improve developer workflows—not just hype, but real impact on efficiency or quality.

Familiarity with how the Internet works (layers 2–7). If not, be prepared to speak with depth about another domain of similar complexity.

For New York City, Washington, Washington D.C. and California (excluding Bay Area) based hires: Estimated annual salary of $172,000 - $237,000.

Project Galileo

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
