About The Department
Cloudflare Workers allow customers to quickly build high performance applications that are deployed on Cloudflare's edge network. The Workers team is responsible for building a platform that scales your application no matter how large or small. As a Product Manager on the Workers team you'll be responsible for identifying new markets and building solutions to help customers develop and deploy their applications on Workers.
About The Role
Application development was completely transformed by the shift from on-premise to the cloud. No longer did a developer have to maintain their own hardware. But there's still plenty of overhead involved in the software development process. What if, instead, developers could simply write code - and that code would be deployed all around the world, close to end users, so that it was incredibly performant?
That's the vision for Cloudflare Workers - to bring the best of serverless and edge computing together, allowing developers to focus on what they do best: write code that matters.
Workers haven't stopped there. At Cloudflare Workers' scale, managing shared state becomes difficult. Traditional databases restrict developers, have inconsistent performance and provide a poor developer experience.
Durable Objects addresses the problem of distributed state with Worker's ingenuity, adding id-addressable, global singleton Objects that coordinate state across Workers requests. Durable Objects scale infinitely, letting developers define new architectures that divide applications up into many individual objects. Objects have access to a strongly consistent storage API, letting developers persist data at Cloudflare's edge. Durable Objects are in production with major gaming and e-commerce companies and are the technology behind Cloudflare's Waiting Room product.
As a product manager on the Durable Objects team, you'll be tasked with expanding the addressable use-cases for Durable Objects and increasing adoption of the technology both within Cloudflare and in the market.
In this role, you'll dive deep into developer's distributed data needs, defining the roadmap and helping customers successfully adopt Durable Objects. You'll work closely with customers to understand the market and their needs and with engineering to define and prioritize features coming out of your research.
This position requires you to be a self-starter with the ability to take ownership, work with tight timelines and handle various tasks simultaneously while maintaining a positive attitude. In addition, great oral communication and written documentation skills are critical for this role for promoting ideas throughout the company. A background working with distributed databases or serverless cloud technologies is a plus.

• Represent the company externally as needed, including meetings with customers and prospects

Project Galileo: We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists 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: We created 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.
Path Forward Partnership: Since 2016, we have partnered with Path Forward, a nonprofit organization, to create 16-week positions for mid-career professionals who want to get back to the workplace after taking time off to care for a child, parent, or loved one.
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.
