Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.</p> <p>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.</p></div><h2>Available Locations</h2><ul><li>Remote, India</li></ul><h2>Responsibilities</h2><ul><li>Lead the technical customer-facing organization in India, reporting into APAC Customer Engineering leadership, and is accountable for building a high-performing, AI-augmented technical go-to-market team that drives new business, adoption, retention, and expansion.</li><li>This role is both a people leadership role and a commercial technical leadership role.
