The opportunity
We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul.
What you'll do
Customer Onboarding and Deployment Readiness: Own the end-to-end technical onboarding experience for assigned customers post-provision. Lead structured onboarding calls, guide customers to configure initial Cloudflare settings (e.g., DNS records, SSL/TLS modes, WAF rules, Zero Trust policies), and validate that traffic is behaving as expected before the customer is declared live. Guide customers through onboarding and implementation runbooks and identify when an engagement requires escalation to the appropriate Cloudflare team. Troubleshoot common onboarding issues including DNS resolution failures, SSL/TLS certificate errors, caching misconfigurations, and authentication failures.
Cloudflare Configuration Guidance: Guide customers through Cloudflare configuration steps for applicable platform capabilities, including DNS, SSL/TLS, CDN, Application Security, Zero Trust/SASE, Network Services, and other Cloudflare products as assigned. Help customers understand configuration options, operational best practices, and standard deployment patterns.
Customer Technical Guidance and Enablement: Deliver standardized customer guidance sessions, technical walkthroughs, workshops, bootcamps, 1:1 technical engagements and 1:many technical sessions covering Cloudflare product specific best practices, migration procedures, and post-deployment administration. Explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical customer stakeholders.
Documentation and Engagement Hygiene: Produce and maintain clear technical and operational artifacts, including call summaries, action item trackers, onboarding plans, runbooks, and handoff materials. Keep relevant internal systems updated after customer touchpoints and maintain high-quality documentation for continuity across teams.
Cross-Functional Coordination and Escalation Management: Coordinate with Cloudflare Customer Engineering, Support, Product, Engineering, Account, and other internal teams to route complex technical issues, document blockers, support escalations, and maintain continuity of customer outcomes.
Operational Improvement and Knowledge Sharing: Contribute to reusable templates, procedures, technical guides, internal knowledge articles, automation scripts, AI-assisted workflows, and process improvements that improve the quality, consistency, and efficiency of customer onboarding and customer engineering activities.
