About The Position

As the PM for Cloudflare One Appliance, you will own the vision and execution for Cloudflare One Appliance, a lightweight managed hardware and virtual appliance that serves as the primary on-ramp for customers connecting any physical and cloud environments.

You’ll do this by: Rethinking the customer journey from end-to-end: from how our customers receive their hardware through day-to-day operations you will identify where automation and AI can eliminate entire categories of toil, not just speed up existing steps Build AI-assisted products: move beyond using AI for insights towards autonomous and self-healing systems Champion Cloudflare products internally and externally: improve our products by knowing them inside and out, and help our customers understand why they are great

Requirements

Experience in enterprise networking, SD-WAN, SASE or infrastructure products.
Theoretical and practical knowledge of how the Internet works at layers 1 through 7.
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.
Cross-functional partnership: You collaborate effectively with engineering, design, and other product teams. You work well asynchronously and respect people’s time.

Technical credibility: You can hold your own in conversations with engineers about architecture, tradeoffs, and implementation approaches.
Clear communication: You write and speak with precision. You prefer outcomes over activities, and direct feedback over hedging.

Specific expertise in IPsec, GRE, SD-WAN, and routing protocols (BGP, OSPF) is a big plus.
Familiarity with cloud networking environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) and cloud on-ramp architectures.
Experience with cloud-managed hardware products.

Define and track success metrics: Establish measurable outcomes for our product and the outcomes our customers are driving towards.
