About The Position

As a Solutions Engineer, you will serve as the advanced technical lynchpin through the entire sales cycle, orchestrating complex enterprise-grade engagements across both pre- and post-sales phases. You will act as an authoritative trusted advisor and technical customer advocate within Cloudflare, working closely with Account Executives, Product Management, Engineering, and Customer Success. Your mission is to find best-fit architectures for high-value prospects, guide major enterprises to their "time to first value," and design custom validation approaches for unvalidated complex scenarios. You will work closely with our Enterprise prospects and customers to educate, empower, and ensure their success on the Cloudflare platform. Our Solutions Engineers come from a wide range of backgrounds: financial consulting, engineering, software development, product management, customer support, and project delivery. We're serious about building a diverse team. When hiring, we look for diversity of experience combined with genuine curiosity for our technology, the adoption of new industry solutions, and an aptitude for leveraging AI-powered tools. Ultimately, you are passionate about technology and have the ability to explain complex technical concepts in easy-to-understand terms to a wide range of audiences—from systems engineers to C-level executives. You are naturally curious, and an avid builder who is not afraid to get your hands dirty. You appreciate the diversity of challenges in working with customers and look forward to helping them realize the full promise of Cloudflare and its ecosystem. On the Solutions Engineering team, you will find a collaborative environment where everyone brings different strengths and jumps in to help each other.

• Lead tailored product demonstrations and proofs-of-concept (PoCs) to secure the technical win.
