Be the technical lynchpin of the sales cycle for high-growth Digital Native accounts at Cloudflare
This is a pre-sales technical role, not a pure engineering role - selling Cloudflare's network/security/performance platform into venture-backed, high-growth companies. The interview should test depth across internet fundamentals (OSI layers, DNS, TLS, BGP), Zero Trust/SASE familiarity, and the ability to translate technical concepts for both engineers and C-level executives.
