## About the Role

* Expert level experience with AWS edge and networking services (CloudFront, WAF, Route53, Shield, Global Accelerator).
 * Expert level proficiency with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code patterns in production.
 * Deep experience implementing or operating enterprise-grade bot management platforms (e.g., HUMAN, AWS Bot Control, Cloudflare Bot Management, Akamai Bot Manager).
 * Advanced knowledge of HTTP protocol, CDN caching strategies, edge compute functions (e.g., Lambda@Edge), and TLS management.
 * Strong software development experience in a modern language (e.g., Python, Go, TypeScript, Java).
 * Track record of building safe, observable, and performant infrastructure at scale.
 * Familiarity with building and scaling fraud prevention systems or integrating with fraud intelligence platforms is a plus.

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:

 * Experience authoring real-time request evaluation logic at the edge.
 * Familiarity with HTTP/2, QUIC, and emerging transport protocols for low-latency content delivery.
 * Familiarity with custom device fingerprinting, rate limiting, and CAPTCHA challenge orchestration.
 * Experience supporting traffic segmentation, geo-steering, or multi-CDN architecture.
 * Background in high-scale event collection and processing for edge analytics.
 * Proficiency in implementing defense-in-depth mechanisms for Layer 7 attacks.
 * Proficiency in building distributed rate-limiting or request scoring systems.
 * Familiarity with principles of secure system design and zero-trust architectures.
 * Contributions to open-source projects in the edge, networking, or observability space.

## Description

* Design, implement, and operate CDN infrastructure using AWS CloudFront, Global Accelerator, bot management, and related services.
 * Develop scalable systems for detecting and mitigating malicious automated traffic, using both commercial bot management platforms and homegrown controls.
 * Codify reusable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules to enable other teams to deploy edge services safely and consistently.
 * Integrate with fraud detection pipelines to inform real-time blocking or scoring decisions at the edge.
 * Collaborate with security and platform teams to enforce zero-trust controls, request validation, and origin shielding.
 * Integrate CDN & bot management application coverage into existing developer platform software & automation products.
 * Drive edge observability strategy using metrics, traces, and logs to detect anomalies and optimize performance.
 * Evaluate and implement new technologies (e.g., edge compute, rate limiting frameworks, multi-CDN failover strategies).
 * Participate in incident response and root cause analysis for edge service outages or abuse-related escalations.
