Senior/Product Manager, Cloudflare Workers

Available Locations: Austin, Lisbon, and London

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.

Workers has grown from a simple functions-as-a-service option into a complete full-stack platform — and with this comes the need to support a broader set of Runtime APIs. This spans a wide range, from TC39 standards, to Node.js APIs, to web standards. We played a key role in forming WinterCG, and there’s still much work to do to grow a shared base of APIs across runtimes — to push forward the ecosystem and ease the burden on open-source maintainers of supporting multiple runtimes.

What You’ll Do

• Drive the strategy and roadmap for JavaScript APIs in the Cloudflare Workers Runtime
• Lead new APIs from ideation through launch, and continuing through ongoing maintenance and support
• Guide teams both internal and external on developing new JavaScript APIs in Workers, including first-party Cloudflare products and external libraries seeking to increase compatibility
• Develop and nurture key external relationships with open-source maintainers, and ensure their needs are heard and acted on
• 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, speaking at external events, participating in WinterCG and more.
