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 SE colleagues across the growing CEEMEA region 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 Solutions Engineers within your charge, 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.
