<div class="content-intro"><div>About Us</div> <div> 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. </div></div><h3>Available Location: Netherlands (remote) </h3> <h3>"What kind of customer value can you build with a true global network at your disposal?"</h3> The internet was not built for what it has become today. As enterprises race to adopt AI and secure their digital existence, the old infrastructure maps no longer apply. We aren't just looking for a salesperson to sell a product; we are looking for a Market Architect for the Benelux region. Cloudflare is currently protecting and accelerating the internet for over 20% of the Fortune 1,000. With a network spanning 310 cities in 120+ countries, we are the only platform capable of securing the intersection of AI, Cloud, and Cybersecurity at a massive scale. Now, we need a Senior Challenger in the form of a Majors Account Executive to hand this toolkit to the largest organizations in the Benelux. You will challenge the status quo, helping CTOs and CISOs rethink their entire architecture from the network up. <h3> The Mission: Build. Challenge.

Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet. <a href="https://blog.cloudflare.com/protecting-free-expression-online/">Project Galileo</a>: 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. <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/athenian/">Athenian Project</a>: 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. <a href="https://1.1.1.1/">1.1.1.1</a>: We released<a href="https://1.1.1.1/"> 1.1.1.1</a> 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<a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/privacy/public-dns-resolver"> privacy commitment</a> and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
