Available Locations: Austin, Texas
About the Role
The Senior Director of Developer Product Marketing is the strategic lead for how Cloudflare’s developer platform is perceived and adopted in the global market. While our Product Managers build the "what," you own the "why," the "who," and the "how we win." You will lead the team responsible for defining the narrative for Workers, Workers AI, R2, and the broader developer ecosystem, ensuring our story resonates with everyone from solo builders to CTOs at Fortune 500 companies.
In this role, you will move beyond tactical growth loops to focus on the core tenets of Product Marketing: Positioning, Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy, Market Intelligence, and Sales/Field Readiness. You will be the primary bridge between a highly technical Product organization and our global Sales, Marketing, and Developer Relations teams.
What You Will Do
- Strategic Positioning & Messaging: Define the category-level narrative for the Cloudflare Developer Platform. Create high-impact positioning that differentiates our "Connectivity Cloud" from legacy hyperscalers and niche compute providers.
- Go-to-Market Orchestration: Lead the end-to-end GTM strategy for new products and major feature launches. You will orchestrate the transition from "feature ready" to "market ready," ensuring all internal and external channels are aligned.
- Market & Competitive Intelligence: Act as the "outside-in" voice for the developer organization. Conduct deep competitive analysis and market research to influence the product roadmap and arm our field teams with "how to win" battlecards.
- Field & Sales Enablement: Partner with the Sales and Solutions Engineering leadership to build the playbook for selling to developers and technical buyers. Translate complex technical capabilities into value-based selling tools, demos, and training.
- Customer Insights & Advocacy: Develop a deep understanding of our developer personas. Work with our customers to develop case studies and technical proof points that validate our platform’s impact at scale.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Serve as a strategic partner to Product Management. While PMs own the product delivery and technical onboarding, you own the market success and the cohesive developer story across the entire Cloudflare portfolio.
- Team Leadership: Recruit and mentor a high-performing team of Product Marketers and Content Strategists, fostering a culture of excellence in storytelling and strategic thinking.
Who You Are
- A Master Strategist: You have a proven track record of taking complex developer technologies and turning them into clear, compelling market narratives. You think in terms of market categories and value props, not just feature lists.
- Technically Credible: You are comfortable "talking shop" with developers and PMs. You understand the nuances of serverless, edge computing, and AI architectures, and you know how to translate those into business outcomes.
- GTM Expert: You have led large-scale launches in the DevOps, Cloud, or Infrastructure space. You know how to align a global organization around a single launch moment.
- Collaborative Leader: You excel at navigating high-growth, PM-led organizations. You know how to provide the "marketing layer" that complements technical product ownership without stepping on toes.
- Data-Driven, Narrative-Led: You use market data and competitive signals to inform your strategy, but you rely on your storytelling instincts to win hearts and minds.
Qualifications
- 10+ years in Product Marketing, with a significant focus on developer-facing tools or infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS).
- Experience leading PMM teams in a high-velocity, technical environment (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Vercel, Stripe).
- Demonstrated ability to influence product roadmaps through market research and competitive intelligence.
- Exceptional writing and presentation skills—you can write the keynote and the technical whitepaper.

About Cloudflare
At Cloudflare, our mission is bold yet simple: to help build a better Internet. Our global network handles trillions of requests each month, protecting and accelerating applications without added hardware, software, or code changes. Our Developer Platform, including Workers, Workers AI, R2, KV, Durable Objects, and Pages, empowers developers to build and deploy applications globally, faster than ever before.
About the Team
The Developer GTM organization is a startup within Cloudflare, driving how we attract, inspire, and grow the next generation of builders.

Our mission is to create new pathways for developers to discover Cloudflare, whether through ecosystem partnerships, high impact content, or creative field engagement.
We are builders, storytellers, and connectors united by one goal: to make Cloudflare the most exciting place for developers to build.
About the Role
Own the end-to-end partner strategy for Cloudflare’s Developer Platform—spanning channel partners (SIs/MSPs/service providers) and technology alliances (integrations, co-builds). Your mandate: prioritize the right partners, ship joint solutions, and align GTM so developers can adopt and scale faster—with measurable, partner-sourced and influenced revenue. You’ll set the strategy centrally and execute through the regional partner teams. (Cloudflare programs include technology partnerships aligned to developer services and other solution areas; partner network spans technology, global SIs, and service providers.
What You Will Do
- Set the ecosystem strategy: Map, segment, and prioritize partners (channel + tech) that matter for developer workloads; publish a focused “top-X” plan per region.
- Build technology alliances: Land integrations and reference architectures that improve customer outcomes on Workers/Workers AI, R2/D1/KV, Queues, Stream, and real-time primitives; define validation and co-support paths. (Cloudflare’s tech partnerships drive integrations and joint GTM aligned to Developer Services.
- Co-sell / co-market plays: Create repeatable partner plays (ICP, offer, proof, pricing posture), enable regional partner managers, and measure attach/impact.
- Channel acceleration: With SIs/MSPs/service providers, package implementation offers and services SKUs; raise partner capability and profitability with clear enablement and “give/get.”
- Program alignment: Coordinate listings and offers where relevant; align with central partner programs for readiness and incentives.
- Operate through regions: Run a global partner operating rhythm (monthly reviews, quarterly plans) through regional leaders; unblock deals and integrations.
- Own the scorecard: Partner-sourced and influenced pipeline/bookings, integration launches and adoption, partner attach on priority workloads, enablement completion, and partner NPS.
Who You Are
- Builder, not just broker: 10+ years across channel + developer/alliances; you’ve shipped integrations and built co-sell machines with SIs/MSPs/tech partners.
- Developer-fluent: Comfortable with workloads, APIs/SDKs, reference architectures, and how developers evaluate platforms; you translate technical value to commercial outcomes.
- Operator with range: You write crisp plans, run a global cadence, and drive matrixed execution with Sales, Product, PMM, Finance, and Legal.
- Metrics-driven: You size opportunities, forecast partner impact, and hold partners (and us) to results.
- Global & pragmatic: Experience working across Americas/EMEA/APAC through regional partner teams; clear communicator, excellent collaborator.
Compensation
Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.
- For Bay Area based hires: Estimated annual salary of $311,000 - $389,000 - $428,000

About the Role
We are hiring a Director, Developer Solution Strategists to lead regional Managers in Americas, EMEA, and APAC, each managing teams of Solution Strategists aligned to their sales regions.

- Run pipeline and deal reviews. Establish a global rhythm for opportunity triage, strategic deal reviews, and win/loss analysis; surface systemic blockers and drive resolution with Sales, Deal Desk, Security, and Legal.
- Enable the field at scale. Ship workload blueprints, playbooks, calculators, objection handling, and talk tracks; run monthly regional enablement with Sales leadership and measure adoption and lift.
- Close the loop with Product & PMM. Translate field insights into clear, quantified recommendations on positioning, packaging, limits, and roadmap; track impact ($) of changes.
- Partner with Programs. Support startups/accelerators and targeted campaigns with BDR/Marketing, with a clear sunset plan as regions become self-sufficient.
- Forecasting & planning. Own DSS headcount planning, coverage models by segment/geo, and quarterly objectives; partner with RevOps for attribution and instrumentation.
- Culture & quality. Raise the bar on writing, narrative clarity, and executive communication; model Cloudflare’s values in every region.
Who You Are
- 10+ years in developer platforms, pre-sales/solutions, deal strategy, or commercial architecture; 4+ years leading managers across multiple regions/time zones.
- Proven ability to translate technical workloads into compelling commercial outcomes and navigate complex approvals with Sales, Finance, Legal, and Security.

- Experience enabling large field organizations with playbooks, training, and tooling; passion for coaching managers and building bench strength
- Background in usage-based/consumption pricing and commit structures
- Experience with startup programs or digital-native segments
- Prior work in multiple geographies (Americas, EMEA, APAC) and with marketplace motions

About the Role
Cloudflare’s Senior Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) operate at the intersection of product engineering and customer impact.
As an FDE, you will be embedded within one of Cloudflare’s most strategic global customers, working side-by-side with their engineering teams to build and deploy solutions using Cloudflare’s platform. Unlike traditional Solutions Architects or consultants, you will write production code, shape technical architecture, and directly influence how Cloudflare products are used at massive scale.
You will operate as a technical extension of both organizations - helping the customer ship faster while surfacing real-world product insights back to Cloudflare engineering.
This role is ideal for engineers who want to:
- Stay deeply technical
- Work on real production systems
- Influence product direction
- Build long-term partnerships with world-class engineering teams
Responsibilities
- Deep Technical Embedding: Serve as the dedicated, long-term technical partner within a strategic customer’s engineering organization, operating as a trusted extension of their team.
- Production-Level Engineering: Design, build, and deploy production-ready code and configurations directly into customer infrastructure using the Cloudflare platform.
- Technical Accountability: Own the account's technical success across the entire Cloudflare portfolio. Serve as the primary technical point of contact, with other Cloudflare technical resources taking direction from your technical strategy for the account.
- Operational Integration: Participate in customer engineering rituals, including daily standups, design reviews, and real-time incident response.
- Platform Advocacy & Adoption: Identify opportunities to accelerate the adoption of Cloudflare services, unlocking new capabilities across the customer’s tech stack.
- Platform Breadth & Depth: Deep technical competence in building production applications on a modern stack, combined with the willingness and ability to go deep on all Cloudflare product areas. From Workers to security, networking, and observability.
- Feedback Loop & Product Influence: Surface real-world edge cases and product gaps directly to Cloudflare’s Product and Engineering teams to influence the developer platform roadmap.
- Strategic Relationship Management: Establish and maintain trusted technical relationships with senior leadership (Staff+ engineers, Directors, and VPs).
- On-Site Presence: Maintain a regular on-site presence at customer locations to foster deep collaboration and cultural alignment.
Requirements
- Proven Engineering Pedigree: 7+ years of professional software engineering experience. You are a builder at heart, with a track record of delivering production-grade systems, not just advising on them.
- Production Ownership & Operational Maturity: You have owned mission-critical services with real-world users. You understand the gravity of on-call rotations, the urgency of incident response, and the architectural rigor required to maintain "five nines" uptime.
- Active Practitioner: You are currently in the IDE. You have a "ship-first" mentality and maintain a high velocity, staying current with modern frameworks, languages, and deployment patterns.
- Full-Stack Architectural Depth: Broad technical fluency across the entire stack—from frontend performance and backend logic to database optimization and distributed infrastructure.
- AI-Native Development: You have integrated AI-augmented workflows (e.g., Windsurf, OpenCode) into your daily development cycle to accelerate prototyping and delivery.
- Systems Design & Strategic Thinking: Ability to decompose complex business requirements into scalable, resilient technical architectures. You can visualize the "big picture" without losing sight of the implementation details.
- Cloud Ecosystem Fluency: Deep experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including an understanding of serverless, networking, and security primitives.
- High Agency & Navigating Ambiguity: You are a self-starter who thrives in "zero-to-one" environments. You don't wait for a ticket; you identify the problem and own the solution from end-to-end.
- Executive Presence: Comfortable engaging in high-stakes technical and strategic discussions with VP-level stakeholders, with the ability to translate complex engineering trade-offs into business impact.
Nice to Have
- Direct experience building on Cloudflare Workers, or the broader Cloudflare Developer Platform.
- Previous experience at a fast-paced startup or in a customer-facing engineering role where you operated directly within a partner’s codebase.
- A visible public profile, including open-source contributions, technical blogging, or speaking engagements at industry conferences.
Compensation
Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.
- For NYC based hires: Estimated annual salary of $185,000 - $254,000
Equity
This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.
