TL;DR · Senior Customer Engineer, Named

The Senior Customer Engineer joins the GTM organization to serve as a trusted technical advisor and primary architect for enterprise clients. You will bridge the gap between technical strategy and business value by leading technical deep-dive discoveries, mapping complex infrastructure like DNS, CDN, and Zero Trust to bespoke architectures, and overseeing technical onboarding. You will be commercially accountable for new business acquisition and account growth while leveraging AI-augmented workflows to automate routine tasks. Required skills include expertise in internet fundamentals, security, and performance, alongside proficiency in Python, JavaScript, Bash, Lua, or Go. You will also utilize LLMs for workflow automation and design applications using RESTful/GraphQL APIs and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform. This role solves complex performance, security, and reliability challenges for global internet properties.

What you'll do

  • Lead technical deep-dive discovery to map complex customer infrastructure to Cloudflare architectures and bespoke solutions.
  • Define and scope technical evaluation plans and success criteria for Proof of Concepts (PoCs).
  • Deliver tailored technical presentations, architectural diagrams, and demonstrations to solve specific security and performance challenges.
  • Design structured migration and onboarding blueprints for DNS, Zero Trust, and WAF configurations.
  • Monitor customer health scores and telemetry to resolve integration bottlenecks and ensure rapid time-to-value.
  • Carry a variable quota for new business acquisition, platform adoption, and identifying cross-sell opportunities.
  • Lead technical Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to translate platform capabilities into business ROI for executives.
  • Use AI agents and LLMs to automate routine tasks like RFP responses and sandbox provisioning.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in a customer-facing technical role such as Solutions Engineering, Customer Engineering, or Technical Account Management.
  • Ability to design and articulate complex enterprise network and security architectures clearly.
  • Excellent communication skills to translate technical concepts into business outcomes for engineers and C-level executives.
  • Proven track record in a quota-carrying or revenue-aligned environment with an understanding of SaaS metrics.
  • Depth in at least four areas: Internet fundamentals, Security, Performance, AI Proficiency, Coding/Scripting, or Developer Platform Fluency.
  • Undergraduate or graduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with LLM orchestration, RAG architectures, or regulatory knowledge like PCI DSS and SOC 2 (preferred).
  • Export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations.
