Original Job Description
The Role: Policy Meets Prototyping
This summer internship in Washington, D.C., puts you at the intersection of global technology and federal oversight. You will support Cloudflare’s Government Relations team by analyzing emerging tech regulations while building the internal AI-powered tools that help the company stay ahead of the curve. It is a unique opportunity to influence how a major infrastructure leader navigates frameworks like NIST and CISA using modern automation.
Why it’s a Vibe Coding Sweet Spot
Cloudflare is looking for “builders” who use AI tools to solve problems faster. In this role, you will:
Prototype AI Solutions: Develop internal interfaces and specialized prompts to automate the tracking of federal and state legislative shifts.
Synthesize Complex Data: Leverage AI-native workflows to distill massive amounts of regulatory text into clear, actionable business intelligence.
Develop AI Standards: Help establish the framework for how AI is used responsibly within legal and policy functions.
Growth and Requirements
You should be a student in a tech, policy, or legal field with a demonstrated interest in AI-augmented development. Cloudflare values those who have the curiosity to spot a “normalized” problem and the prompt engineering skills to fix it. This is a chance to move beyond manual research and lead the transition toward AI-driven policy advocacy.
