Job Location: Atlanta, GA, New York, NY, and Washington, DC What you'll do
As a Customer Solutions Engineer (CSE), you are the technical heartbeat of the customer journey. You will be the trusted technical advisor throughout the lifecycles of select Mid Market Customers. You will leverage your knowledge to ensure our customers understand and utilize the Cloudflare Connectivity Cloud platform to its fullest extent. Your goal is to help customers be successful and derive the most value possible from their Cloudflare investment.
While you will support the entire Cloudflare stack-including our core Security and Performance suites-you will serve as the team's Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Cloudflare's Developer Platform. You will bridge the gap between "traditional" networking and "modern" serverless development, helping customers migrate legacy logic to the edge.
As a CSE, you strive to understand customer requirements and issues at the molecular level. No matter your background, you have natural curiosity and desire to identify root causes of strange problems and the most elegant and efficient solutions. Fundamentally, you are enamored with how the internet works.
You will work closely with the Customer Success Manager (CSM) as well as every other team at Cloudflare, from Sales and Product to Engineering and Customer Support. Customer Success will drive you through the entire organization as you seek out and implement scalable solutions for your customer's needs.
Additional responsibilities will include:
As a critical member of the Customer Success team you will serve as a trusted technical advisor, help expand existing business, and ensure the success of our customers via limited 1:1 engagements, and 1:many success events:

  • You will be part of a team of CSMs and CSEs supporting Mid Market customer(s) needs.
  • From a technical perspective, your primary responsibilities will be to guide customers through their onboarding of Cloudflare products and services, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of complex customer environments, ensure customers see the full value in Cloudflare's products and advise on technical best practices via 1:1 engagements

  • Edge Architecture Consulting: Lead technical deep-dives into Cloudflare Workers, Pages, R2, and D1, helping customers architect "edge-first" applications.
  • Collaborate with Customer Support, Technical Account Managers, Product, Engineering, and other teams to assist with technical escalations
  • You will take part in content creation and delivery for technical customer workshops for your area of expertise
  • Provide customers with clear proactive technical guidance and expertise across your main specialization, and in a secondary area of expertise
  • Contribute towards the success of the CSE organization through knowledge-sharing activities such as contributing to internal and external documentation, answering technical Q&A, and helping iterate on best practices

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience
  • Minimum 3+ years of prior post-sales customer relationship management (e.g., Technical Support, Solutions Engineer, or Software Engineer) at a cloud and/or SaaS provider.
  • Hands-on experience with web application development (professional or personal projects), ideally full-stack using modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Node.js, etc).

    • Layers and protocols of the OSI model, such as TCP/IP, TLS, DNS, HTTP
    • Reverse and forward proxies and the applications of both

    • Enjoying the adventure of troubleshooting and solving technical problems
    • Understanding why Cloudflare plays an increasingly important role on today's internet
  • Ability to proactively identify and solve problems then build sustainable solutions to prevent recurrence
  • Edge & Serverless Proficiency: Hands-on experience (professional or significant personal projects) building with serverless technologies. We value experience with Cloudflare Workers, but also welcome those coming from Vercel, Netlify, AWS Lambda, or GCP Functions.
  • Code Literacy: Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript( or similar) is required. You should be comfortable reading, debugging, and writing script samples to help a customer get unstuck.
  • Modern Dev Workflow: Understanding of modern CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and how they integrate with edge deployment platforms.
  • Demonstrated experience with a scripting language (e.g. Python, JavaScript, Bash) and a desire to expand those skills
  • Technical curiosity and passion: Cloudflare is at the cutting edge of internet technology, and our CSEs are viewed as subject-matter experts. It's incumbent on us to stay up to date not only with Cloudflare's specific products, but with industry trends
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.
  • Customer-first mindset with patience, empathy, and strong problem-solving skills.
