## Description

About Us

At Cloudflare, we're 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.

As a Senior Solutions Architect, you'll be a trusted advisor to Cloudflare's most strategic enterprise customers. You'll guide digital transformation by aligning business outcomes with Cloudflare's technology platform,including our network, application, security, and developer services.

Responsibilities

Serve as a strategic technical advisor for Cloudflare's top enterprise customers and prospects.

Engage at C-level (CIO, CTO, CISO) to influence technology roadmaps and position Cloudflare as a digital transformation partner.

Facilitate architectural visioning and roadmap workshops that connect business value to Cloudflare's platform capabilities,including emerging use cases in edge compute and serverless development.

Partner with Enterprise Architects and Engineering teams to co-design secure, scalable architectures that leverage Cloudflare's global network.

Translate industry trends (Zero Trust, Digital Sovereignty, AI workloads) into actionable architectural strategies for customers.

Guide clients across the engagement lifecycle: initial strategy, technical design, proof of concept, value realization, and ongoing success planning.

Identify product gaps and provide structured feedback to Product and Engineering teams; participate in roadmap reviews.

Inspire thought leadership through industry events, internal enablement, and technical storytelling.

What Success Looks Like

In your first 6 months:

You've built trusted executive relationships across 3–5 strategic accounts.

You've led 2–3 vision-setting or architecture workshops resulting in multi-year roadmap alignment.

You've shaped at least one key customer engagement involving i.e Cloudflare Developer Platform,demonstrating how edge-native services can accelerate innovation or reduce complexity.

What We're Looking For

15+ years of experience in technical presales, enterprise architecture, or IT leadership (e.g., Chief Architect, CTO, CISO).

Fluent in both business and technology strategy: able to make ROI-driven business cases while diving deep into technical design.

Familiarity with transformation levers such as Zero Trust, cloud migration, developer productivity, and edge compute.

Strong experience working with modern application architectures (e.g., microservices, APIs, event-driven systems, CI/CD).

Exposure to developer-first platforms, serverless models, or edge computing frameworks (Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda, GCP Cloud Functions, etc.).

Comfortable engaging a range of personas,from infrastructure teams to app developers to the C-suite.

Confident in public speaking, customer workshops, and evangelizing new ideas internally and externally.

Bonus: Familiarity with frameworks like TOGAF, NIST SP 800-207, and cyber risk management principles.

Preferred Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Security, or related field.

Experience in regulated industries (FSI, Government, Telco) or complex multi-cloud/hybrid environments.

Hands-on technical curiosity and the ability to learn continuously,especially across networking, application performance, security, and developer services.

What Makes Cloudflare Special?

We're not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We're a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

Project Galileo: Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost.

Athenian Project: In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.

1.1.1.1: We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released.

Here’s the deal - we don’t store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.

Sound like something you’d like to be a part of? We’d love to hear from you!
