About Us

At Cloudflare, we are 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. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine's Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World's Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.

We realize people do not fit into neat boxes. We are looking for curious and empathetic individuals who are committed to developing themselves and learning new skills, and we are ready to help you do that. We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare. Come join us

Work Location: London

Cloudflare's Solutions Engineering (SE) function is responsible for collaborating with clients from early-stage ideation through to planning for production. Being much more than an expert solely in Cloudflare's services, our Solutions Engineers are expected to sit alongside our peers in our clients, and to contribute their energy, ideas and opinion on solving the hard problems we face in our industry today. Often this means deep work on the art-of-the possible (and sometimes being willing to put aside preconceptions on the impossible).

What you'll do

As a Solutions Engineering Manager, you set the cadence of the team's communication, collaboration and culture. Supporting the personalised individual development plan for each team member, you will coach our UK & Ireland SE colleagues to excel across the sales and technical disciplines necessary to support a successful team. You will also work closely with our Enterprise prospects and customers by shadowing and improving your team's technical expertise to help develop good practice and ensure a high standard of customer success.

Responsible for the hiring, on-boarding, enablement and technical pre-sales performance of the UK & Ireland Solutions Engineering team, you will be the focal point for coordinating the team's resources to have the greatest customer impact and to help provide guidance when specific assistance is required or to escalate early and to engage the correct resources at the right time.

To aid your team, you will work closely with cross-functional teams at Cloudflare, from Sales and Product, through to Engineering and Customer Support. Your goal of customer success should drive you through the entire organisation as you seek out and advise your team on how to create scalable solutions for your customer's needs.

Who we are

The problems that our clients face are both diverse and unique - which is reflected in how we think about our Solution Engineering team. Building on the benefit of the hive-mind, our SE team is made up of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds - from end-customers to other vendors, Financial Consulting to Product Management, Customer Support to Software Engineering. In short, if we are to solve complex problems we need a diverse, curious and collaborative team.

Cloudflare's mission is one which is both simple and timeless, to help build a better Internet. This requires a broad set of services and associated knowledge of Internet performance and security technology. We recognise many of our team usually join us with one or two core domains of expertise, however key to success is the curiosity to maintain and develop new knowledge which is essential to keeping up with the high rate of product innovation at Cloudflare.

In our aim to support your success, all the resources and training required to build a custom personal development plan to be effective for the role, will be provided.

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience

Our Solutions Engineers come from a wide range of backgrounds: financial consulting, engineering, software development, product management, customer support & 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.

Ultimately, you are passionate about technology, have the ability to explain complex technical concepts in easy-to-understand terms, and you like coaching and teaching.

Requirements

  • Demonstrable experience in coaching, leadership skills or team management.
  • Demonstrable experience in understanding and solving escalations, team issues or other management related scenarios.
  • Proven track record of successfully partnering with account executives and customer success teams to deliver Cloudflare solutions to customers.

Responsibilities

  • Workload Management.
  • Report on individual SE strengths and weaknesses and support performance management to achieve high-standards of success.
  • Conduct 1:1's with team members.
  • Act as a point of escalation for team issues, escalate issues that can't be solved in the team.
  • Recruit, interview, and on-board new team members.

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: We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists 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: We created 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.

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.
