• DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, CDN, and reverse-proxy concepts.
• U.S. Citizen or Green Card only.
• No sponsorship.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Nice To Haves

• Akamai Application & API Protector (AAP), Bot Manager, or Edge DNS.
• Imperva-to-Akamai migration.
• Large-scale onboarding or migration programs.
• Python, REST APIs, GitHub, or Terraform awareness.
• AWS or GCP exposure.

Responsibilities

• Onboard applications in the Akamai portal under established standards.
• Configure and maintain Property Manager configurations.
