Secures websites and runs apps on its network
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.
Switzerland
We are seeking a commercially sharp and technically curious Digital Natives Account Executive to join our Swiss Sales Team, focused on the German-speaking market. In this high-energy, hunter role, your primary mission is new logo acquisition — finding, engaging, and closing net-new digital-native companies across the region who are not yet working with Cloudflare. Your target universe includes fintechs, SaaS platforms, AI-native startups, developer-led scale-ups, and cloud-first businesses: companies that move fast, make infrastructure decisions at the engineering level, and expect their vendors to keep up. The ideal candidate understands how digital-native companies actually buy — bottom-up product adoption, engineering influence, founder-driven decisions, and rapid procurement — and engages as a credible peer in conversations with CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and technical founders.
As a Digital Natives Account Executive, you will build pipeline through outbound prospecting, community engagement, and ecosystem presence, convert developer-led adoption into commercial new logo wins, and position Cloudflare as the infrastructure partner of choice for the next generation of technology companies. Critically, you will use AI tools as an active and integral part of how you sell — both because your buyers, who are often building AI products themselves, will notice and respect it, and because winning new logos at pace in this segment requires it. In line with Cloudflare's AI-native culture, you are expected to leverage AI tools daily as a genuine force multiplier across your prospecting, pipeline, and preparation — not as an occasional aid.
We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.
Project Galileo: Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost.
Athenian Project: In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.
1.1.1.1: We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here’s the deal - we don’t store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
