About the job
As a Principal Solutions Architect for Developer Platform, you will own the regional technical strategy for Cloudflare’s most important Developer Platform customer and partner engagements. You will collaborate with engineering leaders, architects, developers, security teams, and executives to define architectures, validate technical approaches, and facilitate the migration of production workloads to Cloudflare. This role involves managing a portfolio of strategic engagements rather than focusing on a single account. A key aspect of this position is translating field experience into broader impact by creating reusable architectures and technical guidance, developing other architects, and providing product teams with clear insights into regional customer needs. This is a senior individual-contributor role that combines hands-on architecture, executive influence, regional technical leadership, and mentorship.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical strategy for strategic Developer Platform customers and partners.
- Translate business, application, security, and operational requirements into secure, scalable, and maintainable architectures on Cloudflare.
- Lead architecture discovery, technical workshops, proofs of concept, design reviews, and production-readiness discussions.
- Advise engineering executives and other senior stakeholders on application modernization, distributed systems, AI architecture, and platform strategy.
- Establish reference architectures, architectural standards, and governance patterns for reuse across customers and the APJC field organization.
- Build, review, and troubleshoot representative applications and integrations.
- Serve as a regional Developer Platform technical leader through presentations, public speaking, written guidance, and internal enablement.
- Mentor solutions architects and other technical colleagues on complex customer engagements.
- Partner with sales, product management, Developer Relations, and marketing on account strategy, product launches, customer evidence, and technical content.
- Build effective feedback loops between customers, field teams, and product leaders, translating regional needs into actionable product and go-to-market recommendations.
Requirements
- Professional fluency in English and Mandarin Chinese is required.
- Ability to travel up to 30%, primarily within APJC, including mainland China.
