Your technical expertise in the company’s global distributed network and technology will allow you to find best‑fit solutions for prospects, to train and onboard new customers via video‑conference or in person, through documentation, and to support the long‑term success of the customer. As a subject‑matter expert on web/mobile security and performance, you are a trusted source for developing new firewall rules from log files, crafting performance caching and delivery strategies, and creating or repurposing internal tools and scripts for customers.

As a Solutions Engineer, you are the technical customer advocate within the company. To aid your customers, you will work closely with every team at the company, from Sales and Product, through to Engineering and Customer Support. Your goal of customer success should drive you through the entire organization as you seek out and create scalable solutions for your customer’s needs.

We're serious about building a diverse team. When hiring we look for diversity of experience combined with genuine curiosity for our technology.

Ultimately, you are passionate about technology and have the ability to explain complex technical concepts in easy‑to‑understand terms. You are naturally curious, and an avid builder who is not afraid to get your hands dirty.

On the Solutions Engineering team, you will find a collaborative environment where everyone brings different strengths and jumps in to help each other.

• For our existing customers, Solutions Engineers are part of a dedicated account team that advises the customer on technical best practices, implementation of the company products and features, and strategic guidance on internet security and performance.
• The role requires 20‑50% travel to attend meetings with prospects or customers, attend conferences and other industry events, and to collaborate with your the company teammates.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience with a scripting language (e.g. Python, JavaScript, Bash, Lua, Go) and a desire to expand those skills.

Desired

• You understand the role of a firewall, the difference between L3, L4, and L7 firewalls, and that ‘ACL’ doesn't always mean Anterior Cruciate Ligament.
• You’re not afraid of command‑line interfaces, RESTful APIs, or analyzing HTTP request and response in a browser’s web inspector.
• You can describe the differences between CSRF, XSS, and SQLi in detail, and the company’s role in defending against them.
