Cloud Network Engineer- CDN

Principle Pride · India

Essential

• Deep, current hands-on experience running Akamai in production at scale: property configuration, caching, routing, origin management. You should be comfortable opening a property and knowing exactly what it does.
• Hands-on experience operating Akamai WAF (App & API Protector or Kona): policy design and tuning, false-positive management, and working through real attack traffic — not just reviewing dashboards.
• Strong command of how the web actually works: TLS, DNS, caching behaviour, headers, and the full request path from client to origin. You can debug from a HAR file, curl output, or edge logs.
• Solid Azure networking experience: application gateways, load balancers, NSGs, DNS, and traffic routing between edge and origin.
• A track record of diagnosing hard production issues across edge, network, and application layers.
• Ability to produce clear technical documentation and explain edge behaviour to engineers and business stakeholders.

Desirable

• Bot management and DDoS mitigation experience.
• Multi-CDN experience (e.g., CloudFront, Cloudflare, Tencent) or CDN migrations.
• Terraform (Akamai provider) and CI/CD pipeline experience.
• Experience operating within security and operational risk controls in regulated environments.
• Experience managing configuration through APIs or infrastructure as code.
