Solutions Engineer Manager, Associate Programs

About Us

At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.

At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll do as a Solutions Engineer Manager, Associate Programs

The Role: Impacting the Future of Cloudflare

As the Manager for Cloudflare’s Associate Engineer (ASE) Program, you aren't just managing a team; you are architecting the engine that powers our technical field organization. Your mission is to design, execute, and scale a world-class development program that transforms early-career talent into high-performing technical consultants.

You are a curriculum builder and talent strategist first. You will lead a cohort of ASEs (Interns) through a rigorous, multi-modal journey—blending deep technical networking knowledge with sharp commercial acumen. You will bridge the gap between "knowing the tech" and "solving the customer's business problem," ensuring our graduates are ready to hit the ground running in Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and beyond. You will be the main decision maker on Interns that succeed into a full time role as well.

What You’ll Do

• Program Architecture: Own the end-to-end ASE lifecycle, from onboarding and curriculum design to "graduation" into the field.
• Pedagogical Leadership: Build hands-on labs, certification paths, and competency-based assessments that validate both technical depth (Cloud, Security, Workers) and soft skills (Discovery, Demoing, MEDDPICC).
