Cloudflare - Engineering Manager, Agentic Commerce

• Manage, coach, and grow engineers working across high-throughput payment pipelines, agent authentication, and web-scale commerce architecture. • Own execution by establishing clear priorities, creating predictable delivery, and giving engineers the context and autonomy to own meaningful areas of the product. • Lead the development of agentic payment systems leveraging emerging open standards (x402, Web Bot Auth, ACP, UCP) to enable low-latency, machine-to-machine micropayments. • Lead the engineering behind usage metering, pricing definition engines, outcome verification, and revenue attribution models tailored for agentic workflows. • Build capabilities that give businesses granular visibility and control over their agent-generated revenue streams. • Partner closely with Product Management to understand customer problems, shape the roadmap, and turn broad opportunities into clear engineering outcomes. • Bridge mainstream and decentralized tech, interfacing with blockchain teams while keeping execution focused on mainstream, high-throughput web and fiat commerce rails. • Balance near-term product delivery with thoughtful technical investments that allow promising ideas to grow. • Own the operational health of the systems in your area, including observability, incident response, cryptographic security, and long-term reliability. • Develop technical leaders and create space for engineers to lead architecture and implementation. • We want you to love it here. This role is a great fit for you if: • You have led and developed a high-performing engineering team(s) and can point to what that team shipped and how the people on it grew. • You are technically credible with experienced engineers. You can review a design, understand the trade-offs in distributed systems or payment platforms, and recognize when a technical problem needs deeper investigation. • You are comfortable managing a team working across several related technical areas (like digital wallets, payment protocols, and web authorization) and can create clarity without requiring every problem to fit neatly into a single box. • You care deeply about reliability and quality, particularly when the output of a system handles monetary transactions or machine authorization. • You have strong product judgment and enjoy working with Product Management to decide what is worth building, what needs improvement and what should not be built at all. • You are comfortable with ambiguity and with finding structure in areas where the opportunity is clearer than the roadmap. • You communicate clearly, give direct feedback, and can explain complex technical decisions to both engineers and non-engineers. • Examples of Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience • Strong technical grounding in distributed systems, low-latency transaction processing, API design, web security, or adjacent areas. • Experience building or operating products involving traditional payment rails, digital wallets, or open authorization/authentication standards (e.g., OAuth, WebAuthn, Web Bot Auth). • Experience operating systems where correctness, reliability, and security matter as much as feature delivery. • A track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineers. • Experience partnering closely with Product Management to shape and execute a roadmap. • Experience taking products or major capabilities from an ambiguous opportunity to a clear customer outcome. • Strong written and verbal communication.
