About the Role

As a Senior Product Manager for Developer Tools your primary goal is to help improve the efficiency and happiness of Cloudflares internal engineering teams. Youll work closely with a strong team of Engineers to build tools and processes that make developers lives better.

Youll be responsible for the long-term strategy roadmap and delivery of internal developer tools and platforms. You will give our developers the firepower they need to improve the 20% of the web that runs on Cloudflare products. This includes areas such as:

• Developer productivity: Identifying and removing friction in the development workflowfrom code commit to production deployment
• Developer insights and SDLC: Metrics dashboards and tooling that help teams understand their own velocity quality and bottlenecks
• Developer infrastructure: Build systems CI/CD pipelines source control workflows and deployment automation
• AI-assisted development: Enabling engineers with AI toolingcode generation automated code review intelligent debugging and workflow automation
• Cloudflare on Cloudflare: Championing the use of our own customer-facing developer platform for internal use and improving those products through dogfooding

Key Responsibilities

• Own the DevTools roadmap: Define priorities make tradeoffs and maintain a clear view of what were 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 initiativesbuild times deployment frequency developer satisfaction etc.
• Write PRDs and specs: Author clear product documentation that frames the problem success criteria and constraintswhile 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 journeysharing 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 peoples time.
• Data-informed decision making: You use data to inform product decisions and measure impactbut 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.

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 pipelineseither as a PM or as a user.
• Comfort with ambiguity. Internal platform work often lacks the clear market signals of customer-facing products. Youll need to define success criteria and prioritize without perfect information.
• Experience thoughtfully applying Generative AI to improve developer workflowsnot just hype but real impact on efficiency or quality.
• Familiarity with how the Internet works (layers 27). If not be prepared to speak with depth about another domain of similar complexity.
