About The Position

Cloudflare is building the search layer for the agentic Internet, where AI agents need to find information in customer data and across the open web. The Agentic Search portfolio includes AI Search for internal data and Web Search API for external data. AI Search provides a managed indexing and retrieval pipeline built on Workers AI, Vectorize, R2, and Browser Run. Web Search API provides real-time web context through a normalized API and runs on AI Gateway. The role’s mission is to make Cloudflare the default place developers and agents search across their own data and the open web, and eventually through a single call. The Senior Product Manager will own strategy, roadmap, and execution across Agentic Search, define and improve search quality, scale products for important workloads, shape Web Search API’s future, own pricing and packaging, and help build an ecosystem serving AI companies, site owners, and creators. The role works closely with engineering, ML, product, marketing, developer relations, business development, sales, and support teams, and represents Cloudflare at events and customer meetings.
