Responsibilities
  • Configure, maintain, and optimize Akamai security tools, particularly Kona Site Defender (KSD), Bot Manager, and WAF
  • Detect and respond to real-world security events such as bot attacks or malicious traffic
  • Deliver clear, executive-level updates during security incidents
  • Collaborate with engineering, SRE, and architecture teams to ensure secure traffic handling
  • Monitor and analyze performance and telemetry using tools such as Splunk, AppDynamics, or Prometheus
  • Contribute to secure edge architecture decisions and implementation
  • Participate in ongoing improvement of observability and resilience standards
Required Qualifications

  • Strong communication skills with proven ability to interface with executive stakeholders during live incidents
  • 2+ years of scripting or programming experience (Python, Java, or Node.js preferred)
  • Experience with observability tools (must include Splunk; others like AppDynamics or Prometheus are a plus)
  • Experience supporting web security or traffic management in high-traffic production environments
  • Ability to troubleshoot and remediate malicious activity or performance degradation at the edge
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.)
  • Familiarity with containerized environments (e.g., Kubernetes, Fargate, ECS)
  • Experience with edge security architecture in media, entertainment, or other high-visibility industries
  • Web server configuration and tuning experience (Apache, NGINX, Node.js)
