• Job Description:
• We are seeking an experienced CDN & Edge Infrastructure Engineer to lead the migration and refactoring of CDN and edge infrastructure from AWS (CloudFront, WAF, Lambda@Edge) to Cloudflare CDN, WAF, and Edge Functions using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) principles.
• You will architect, implement, and optimize global content delivery and edge security infrastructure that supports Smart TV and Mobile Cloud backends, ensuring high availability, security, and performance across multiple regions.
• This role demands deep knowledge of IaC refactoring, CDN performance engineering, and DNS orchestration using Cloudflare s developer ecosystem.
• Key Responsibilities:
• CDN & Edge Migration
• Lead the refactoring of AWS CloudFront-based IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation) into Cloudflare IaC modules using Terraform or Wrangler.
• Migrate and optimize AWS CloudFront distributions to Cloudflare CDN with equivalent or improved caching, compression, and SSL/TLS configurations.
• Recreate and enhance AWS WAF rules in Cloudflare WAF, ensuring parity for rate limits, geo-blocking, and custom rule groups via Terraform.
• Translate and deploy AWS Lambda@Edge functions into Cloudflare Workers / Edge Functions, ensuring functional equivalence and latency improvements.
• Validate edge routing, caching, and security behavior post-migration using synthetic and load testing tools.
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) & Automation :

• Integrate IaC validation, linting, and compliance checks (e.g., Sentinel or OPA) into pipelines.
• DNS & Traffic Management :
• Establish and manage DNS Hosted Zones in Cloudflare, including domain delegation, CNAME/ALIAS flattening, and traffic routing policies.
• Implement Geo-DNS and failover routing for critical Smart TV and mobile backend endpoints.
• Automate DNS record management and zone imports using Cloudflare Terraform Provider.
• Migrate existing Route53 records and health checks into Cloudflare equivalents with rollback safety.
• Performance, Security & Observability :
• Tune CDN caching policies (cache keys, TTLs, origin shielding) to optimize global performance.
• Integrate Cloudflare WAF, Bot Management, and Page Rules to ensure secure delivery of APIs and content endpoints.
• Configure Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Cloudflare Analytics dashboards for performance visibility.
• Implement Zero Trust principles (Access, Gateway, and DLP) for edge security enforcement.
