Responsibilities
Lead architecture and delivery of low-latency backend services for DDoS detection, classification, and mitigation
Define and evolve scalable data/control planes (policy, signaling, telemetry, orchestration) with strong fault isolation, resiliency, and compliance-by-design
Own traffic engineering strategy (anycast, BGP policy, routing integration) and partner with networking, DNS, and edge platform teams
Set operational standards: SLOs/SLAs, on-call health, incident response (including incident commander duties), runbooks, and post-incident learning
Drive automation at scale: CI/CD strategy, test frameworks, progressive delivery (canary/blue-green), and infrastructure-as-code
Establish robust observability (metrics, logs, traces) and capacity/scale models for high-throughput, highly available services
Lead threat modeling, architecture reviews, and audit readiness for Tier 0 services; ensure security and privacy are embedded through the lifecycle
Mentor engineers, influence cross-org roadmaps, and collaborate with Product, SRE, and Network Engineering from concept to GA
Qualification
Required

Proficiency in one or more: Java/Python/C++/Rust/Go (strong preference for Java for control-plane/services)
Deep systems design expertise: concurrency, memory management, performance tuning, API design, consistency models, and distributed systems fundamentals
Proven DevOps leadership at scale: CI/CD, automated testing, canarying, rollout/rollback, configuration management
Strong IaC experience (e.g., Terraform) and solid cloud infrastructure fundamentals
Domain experience in DDoS or network security services and common attack/defense patterns
Advanced networking knowledge: TCP/IP, IPv4/IPv6, BGP, routing policy; DNS fundamentals
Demonstrated operational excellence and observability practices (metrics, tracing, alerting)
Preferred
Expertise with anycast routing, global traffic steering, and multi-region service readiness
Experience with SDN, programmable data planes, or hardware mitigation platforms
Building high-rate telemetry/streaming pipelines for near-real-time detection (packet/flow analytics)
Background in resilience engineering, chaos testing, disaster recovery, and capacity planning at hyperscale
Containerization/orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) and secure service-to-service communication (mTLS, policy enforcement)
Familiarity with zero trust, segmentation, and modern security architectures; exposure to compliance frameworks and audit preparation
