  • Develop automated remediation scripts to prevent recurring issues.
  • Maintain high system reliability through proactive monitoring and incident prevention.
  • Establish and track CDN-specific SLOs/SLAs and implement alerting and proactive remediation.
  • Evaluate emerging CDN technologies, tools, and performance optimization techniques.
  • Mentor and train internal systems and automation engineers.
  • Develop internal documentation, playbooks, and training materials to enhance team capabilities.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience managing enterprise CDN platforms, including Akamai, Cloudflare, Fastly, or Google Cloud CDN.
  • Deep understanding of DNS, GTM, CNAME chaining, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, TLS/SSL, caching headers, and edge computing.
  • Direct experience configuring, deploying, and maintaining landing zones and properties across Akamai, Cloudflare, Google Media CDN, Google Cloud Platform Cloud CDN, and Fastly.
  • Experience developing modular, production-grade Terraform configurations and Ansible playbooks to automate CDN provisioning, origin mappings, WAF rules, and Bot Management policies.
  • Experience building API-driven self-service capabilities and custom plugins for an internal developer portal built on Backstage.
  • Experience writing front-end web components in React and backend APIs using Python (FastAPI/Flask) or Java.
  • Experience building and maintaining declarative GitOps deployment pipelines using Tekton (Pipeline-as-Code) and GitHub Actions.
  • Experience publishing management APIs via Apigee and working with OpenAPI standards and 42Crunch security scans.
  • Experience building telemetry pipelines and centralized dashboards using Splunk, Dynatrace, and Grafana.
  • SaaS experience.
  • Bachelor's degree.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform), specifically Google Cloud Platform Cloud Run, Google Cloud Platform Transcoder API, and Google Cloud Platform OpenShift/GKE clusters.
