Enterprise Architect, Financial Services - Toronto, Canada

Job description

About Us 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. Available Location: Toronto, Canada About the Role Canada's financial institutions are modernizing their customer applications, internal platforms, and security, while meeting strict regulatory, resilience, and audit expectations. Digital-native players are moving just as fast on AI-powered experiences, agentic commerce, and real-time payments. Both build much of their software in-house, and AI coding assistants and agents are accelerating how fast they build and ship. Cloudflare is looking for an Enterprise Architect (Financial Services), to help them make that shift. You'll lead with AI and modern application architecture, open new conversations with developers, platform-engineering, and AI leaders, and turn them into new business. You'll work alongside the Account Executives and Customer Engineers who own each account. What You'll Do • Expand our footprint: Grow Cloudflare into new business units and engineering teams across our financial-services customers, leading with AI and modern application architecture, in partnership with the account team. • Shape the long-term agenda: Advise C-suite, application, and platform leaders on their multi-year technology agendas. Run executive and architecture workshops that produce roadmaps, reference architectures, and business cases co-developed with their teams, positioning Cloudflare as a foundational platform, not a point solution. • Lead on AI: Advise on how institutions build, secure, and govern AI applications, agents, and features, and how AI is changing developer productivity. • Modernize applications and platforms: Help teams re-architect customer applications and internal developer platforms, from migration strategy to getting developers to adopt the new platform at scale. •
