You have run an engineering team that shipped, and you can point at what it shipped.
You give your technical legos away. Your measure of success is the team’s output and the growth of the people on it, not your own commit history.
You are comfortable with ambiguity. Incubation means the requirements move, and you can change direction without drama.
You are direct. You give feedback early, disagree openly, and admit when you were wrong.
You write well. You believe a clear design document, roadmap, or incident report is as much of a deliverable as the code.
You care about operational quality and treat a noisy alert as a bug, not as background noise.
You find browsers genuinely interesting as an engineering problem — how Chrome behaves under load, why automation breaks, and what an AI agent actually needs from a browser it does not own.
You want to join a team that upholds a culture of support, open and honest communication, and collaborative problem-solving.
Nice to Haves
Experience running headless browser infrastructure at scale — browser fleet management, sandboxing and resource isolation.
Experience shipping AI or agent-facing platform primitives, such as MCP servers, tool-calling surfaces, or agent orchestration.
Familiarity with the Cloudflare Workers development platform: Workers, Durable Objects, Workflows, R2, D1.
Experience taking an internal tool to a billed external product, including usage metering and pricing.
Experience managing a distributed team across time zones.
Open source maintainership, or a public body of technical writing.
What You'll Be Doing
Manage, coach and grow the team of systems engineers behind Browser Run — 1:1s, career development, performance conversations, and hiring.
Own the Browser Run roadmap and delivery, and give the team and the wider organization clear visibility into what is being worked on, in what order, and what we are deliberately not doing.
Partner with Product Management to set direction: shape the roadmap, pressure-test scope, and make the trade-off calls that keep an incubation product shipping.
Own Browser Run’s operational health — browser fleet capacity, session reliability, cold-start latency, concurrency limits, on-call rotations, alert quality, and incident follow-through.
Keep the automation surface honest: Puppeteer and Playwright compatibility, CDP behavior that matches what developers expect from a local Chrome, and a credible story for Chrome version upgrades.
Develop leaders. Identify and grow the engineers who will run day-to-day delivery for an area of the product, and hand that work to them.
Resolve cross-team dependencies with the Workers, Developer Platform, Security, and Billing teams, and bring contentious technical decisions to closure quickly and calmly.
Own the commercial mechanics of a billed service, including the unglamorous parts: usage metering, quotas, plan limits, abuse protection, and pricing input.
Represent Browser Run externally through launch blog posts, developer documentation, conference talks, and direct customer conversations.
