Own technical pre-sales for Cloudflare's strategic/major accounts, from champion-building to C-level validation

Cloudflare is hiring a Senior Solutions Engineer for its Majors strategic accounts pursuit team, working alongside dedicated account executives. You'll build long-term technical relationships with buyers from individual contributors to CISOs/executives, design fit-for-purpose solutions across Cloudflare's security/network/zero-trust portfolio, and drive technical validation through the sales cycle. Good prep if you want to practice a mock discovery call and a technical objection-handling scenario at the executive level.
