Responsibilities
- Stay deeply technical
- Work on real production systems
- Influence product direction
- Build long-term partnerships with world-class engineering teams
- Serve as the dedicated, long-term technical partner within a strategic customer’s engineering organization, operating as a trusted extension of their team
- Design, build, and deploy production-ready code and configurations directly into customer infrastructure using the Cloudflare platform
- Own the account's technical success across the entire Cloudflare portfolio. Serve as the primary technical point of contact, with other Cloudflare technical resources taking direction from your technical strategy for the account
- Participate in customer engineering rituals, including daily standups, design reviews, and real-time incident response
- Identify opportunities to accelerate the adoption of Cloudflare services, unlocking new capabilities across the customer’s tech stack
- Surface real-world edge cases and product gaps directly to Cloudflare’s Product and Engineering teams to influence the developer platform roadmap
- Establish and maintain trusted technical relationships with senior leadership (Staff+ engineers, Directors, and VPs)
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience. You are a builder at heart, with a track record of delivering production-grade systems, not just advising on them.
- Owned mission-critical services with real-world users. You understand the gravity of on-call rotations, the urgency of incident response, and the architectural rigor required to maintain 'five nines' uptime.
- Currently in the IDE. You have a 'ship-first' mentality and maintain a high velocity, staying current with modern frameworks, languages, and deployment patterns.
- Broad technical fluency across the entire stack—from frontend performance and backend logic to database optimization and distributed infrastructure.
- Integrated AI-augmented workflows (e.g., Windsurf, OpenCode) into your daily development cycle to accelerate prototyping and delivery.
- Ability to decompose complex business requirements into scalable, resilient technical architectures. You can visualize the 'big picture' without losing sight of the implementation details.
- Deep experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including an understanding of serverless, networking, and security primitives.
- You are a self-starter who thrives in 'zero-to-one' environments. You don't wait for a ticket; you identify the problem and own the solution from end-to-end.
- Comfortable engaging in high-stakes technical and strategic discussions with VP-level stakeholders, with the ability to translate complex engineering trade-offs into business impact.
- Direct experience building on Cloudflare Workers, or the broader Cloudflare Developer Platform.
Nice to Have
- Previous experience at a fast-paced startup or in a customer-facing engineering role where you operated directly within a partner’s codebase.
- A visible public profile, including open-source contributions, technical blogging, or speaking engagements at industry conferences.
