Job description
The Senior Solutions Engineer role within Cloudflare’s Pre-Sales Solutions Engineering organization is responsible for the technical sale of the Cloudflare solution portfolio for the KSA region, ensuring maximum business value, fit-for-purpose solution design, and efficient adoption roadmaps for customers. The role acts as the technical customer advocate within Cloudflare, working closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Support teams to drive customer success and scalable solution outcomes. The position requires a broad and deep understanding of Internet performance and security technologies, including how the internet works at a protocol level, such as TCP versus UDP, HTTP behavior, firewall functionality, the role of TLS (SSL), and DNS concepts including authoritative DNS and recursive DNS. The role involves supporting customers ranging from individual users to SMBs and Fortune 500 enterprises, helping them understand Cloudflare’s offerings across DDoS protection, CDN, performance optimization, DNS services, developer platforms, and Zero Trust/SASE solutions. The Senior Solutions Engineer is expected to design and articulate technical solutions that outperform competitors, explain ROI and buying decisions, validate technical wins, and support customers through adoption and implementation. The role includes customer-facing activities such as on-site visits, conferences, and technical talks, with an expectation of travel of approximately 10–15 days per quarter. All required resources and training are provided by Cloudflare to support success in the role, within a hybrid work model based in Dubai and aligned to Saudi Arabia coverage.
