Engineering Manager, Agentic Internet & Data Insights

About Us At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in. Available Locations: Lisbon, Portugal About the Department Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) is where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a hugely successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers. Cloudflare’s edge and network make it possible to solve problems at massive scale and efficiency which would be impossible for almost any other organization. About the Team We build products at the intersection of AI, search and retrieval, data insights, and product engineering. As AI agents change how people discover and interact with the Internet, new problems are emerging around how content is found, understood, retrieved, and kept current. Cloudflare is uniquely positioned to help website owners make their content discoverable and to help agents find relevant, trustworthy information across our network. Building these capabilities requires solving problems across distributed systems, crawling, content ingestion, indexing, retrieval quality, developer experience, and reliable product delivery. Cloudflare also has a unique perspective on how the Internet is changing. Our global network observes signals that can help us understand trends, identify when content changes, and measure the pulse of the Internet. Used responsibly, these signals could improve existing products, help customers and AI companies find fresher and more relevant information, and create entirely new capabilities and products. The opportunity is broad and still evolving. We need to deliver excellent products today while continuing to identify the problems Cloudflare is uniquely positioned to solve next. We are a tight-knit group that communicates and collaborates regularly. We celebrate our achievements, support each other when we make mistakes, and hold each other and our work to a high standard. About the role We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead engineering across some of our AI and Internet Data Insights portfolio. You will be responsible for the people, execution, and engineering quality behind products that help customers make their content discoverable and turn complex Internet signals into useful experiences. You will partner closely with Product Management and engineering teams across Cloudflare to deliver current priorities and shape future opportunities. This is a management role for someone who is deeply technically credible. You will not be expected to write most of the code, but you should be able to understand the systems your engineers operate, challenge architectural decisions, ask the right questions when something is going wrong, and step into a technical problem when the situation calls for it. At the same time, we are looking for a manager, not a tech lead with direct reports. Your success will be measured by the quality and output of the team y
