Problems you may face: How do we empower Cloudflare employees to solve customer problems quickly, reducing the operational burden that comes with rapid feature releases? How can we deliver a best-in-class, secure platform for internal tools that enables engineering teams to easily build, use, and support their own solutions? What is the best way to balance building broad platform "constructs" versus specific tooling requests to maximize impact on employee productivity and customer satisfaction? As the Senior Product Manager for Product Platform Tools, you will be responsible for defining and executing the product roadmap for the platform capabilities that empower our customer support, customer success, and solution engineering teams.

Data-fluency – There is no team of analysts at Cloudflare. Can you work directly with data yourself to build confidence in your views and can you use that same data to persuade others? Engineering fluency – While it’s not required, we tend to find success with candidates who have a technical background, formal or otherwise. You don’t need a CS degree but building credibility with our engineering teams is critical and so some history of technical acumen would be super helpful Exceptional communication – Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to influence and build consensus across diverse teams. At Cloudflare it’s pretty helpful to understand how the Internet really works at layers 2 through 7. If you don’t have this, be prepared to speak with mastery about another realm of similar complexity. 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.
