CloudFlare
Software Engineering Manager, AI Agents
Location:
Austin, TX
Why this role matters We’re building industrial scale AI agents that support customers directly. No research theater. Your team powers real customer interactions from day one.
Cloudflare already has the parts. You assemble them into a repeatable platform and ship real customer value fast.
Role intent Lead a team that ships production agents on the Cloudflare stack. Hands on. Execution first. Your team’s code is the front door for millions.
What you will do
Build and run a team of 4 to 8 senior engineers
Set a simple roadmap and ship every two weeks
Keep quality high with crisp PRs, tests that matter, and fast rollbacks
Own on call, incident review, and redlines for latency, errors, cost
Partner with Support, Success, Product, Security, and Data to land safe automations
Prove impact with metrics. Time to first response, resolution, cost per case, automation rate
Assemble Cloudflare primitives into shared modules: Workers runtime, Durable Objects memory, Vectorize recall, KV and R2 for config and files, D1 or Postgres where needed, Queues or Pub/Sub for async
Use Agent SDK for tools, planning, memory, and traces
Bake in safety. Zero Trust, WAF, API Shield, DLP, scoped secrets, Gateway egress
Your team will build
Agents on Workers with Durable Objects for state and short-term memory
Tooling via Agent SDK, MCP, and function calling
Vectorize for semantic memory, plus evals, guardrails, and audits
Flows that summarize, propose fixes, close, and elevate cleanly to humans
Simple status and metrics. No mystery boxes
Must have
You’ve led an engineering team that ships in production
Strong Cloudflare platform experience or similar edge serverless work
Clear grasp of modern agent patterns and how to apply them on Cloudflare
Solid TypeScript or Rust. HTTP, queues, async, performance
Comfortable with model tooling. Prompts, tool calls, evals, safety checks
Obsessed with logs, traces, metrics. You set and hold SLOs
Nice to have
Workers AI, AI Gateway, and Vectorize in production
Salesforce or Service Cloud integrations. Webhooks and case APIs
Security depth. Prompt injection protection, secrets handling, data scopes, PII controls
OSS agent frameworks experience
How we build Align fast on what matters. Divide and conquer. Own your piece. Ship. Watch customers use it. Learn and repeat.
Why join us Real impact:
Your team serves millions of Internet properties in 300+ cities.
Ship culture:
Two week cycles. No bureaucracy. Code in production fast.
Technical depth:
Managers who code. Architects who ship. No ivory towers.
Interview signal Show us how you’d architect agents on Workers, build a team roadmap, handle incidents, and ship a feature in two weeks with proper flags, monitoring, and rollback.
Team mission The Agent Tech team owns the end to end stack for customer facing agents on Cloudflare. Everything runs at the edge.
Core stack:
Workers, Durable Objects, KV, R2, D1, Queues, Pub/Sub, Vectorize, Workers AI, AI Gateway, Pages, Zero Trust.
Principles:
Ship fast. Measure truth. Simplify relentlessly. Own outcomes.

What Makes Cloudflare Special? We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.
Project Galileo : Since 2014, we’ve equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries 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 : In 2017, we created the 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. Since the project, we’ve provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.

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 ever, 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.
