Senior Solutions Engineer, Cloudflare One (SASE/SSE) at Cloudflare · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As a Senior Solutions Engineer specializing in Cloudflare One, you will partner with account teams and customers to design, demonstrate, and validate integrated solutions across Zero Trust, enterprise WAN, and emerging AI technologies. You will lead the technical path for complex opportunities, translating customer risks, operational requirements, and business priorities into architectures that give stakeholders confidence to adopt Cloudflare.
Zero Trust is the primary focus of this role, with enterprise WAN and AI as the next priorities. Successful candidates will bring meaningful customer-facing Zero Trust experience and practical enterprise WAN experience. Email Security experience is welcome but not required. You do not need to be an expert in every part of the portfolio, but you must be able to connect these technologies into a coherent customer strategy and continue developing your expertise as the market evolves.
This is a Senior-level individual-contributor role for a curious, commercially aware technical leader who can guide customer evaluations, collaborate across teams, and improve the effectiveness of the broader field organization.
Serve as a trusted technical advisor, leading discovery and designing Cloudflare One architectures that address customer security, connectivity, and business requirements.
Guide qualified opportunities through solution design, demonstrations, technical evaluations, proofs of value, success-criteria management, and technical close.
Advise customers on Zero Trust strategies spanning identity-aware access, secure web gateway, data protection, SaaS security, browser isolation, device posture, and secure connectivity.
Design WAN transformation solutions that connect users, offices, data centers, and cloud environments using Cloudflare WAN and complementary Cloudflare One services.
Build expertise in AI-era opportunities and risks, including employee AI adoption, Shadow AI, sensitive-data exposure, AI application access, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server controls, and agentic AI governance.
Use AI tools thoughtfully to improve research, customer preparation, technical analysis, content creation, demonstrations, automation, and the repeatability of field activities.
Support broader Cloudflare One opportunities involving Email Security when relevant to the customer's strategy and requirements.
Clearly articulate Cloudflare's technical and business differentiation against competing Zero Trust, email-security, networking, and adjacent AI-security solutions.
Partner with sales teams on account strategy, pipeline development, and revenue goals while maintaining clear ownership of technical next steps and customer outcomes.
