Key Skills: Akamai, Web Application Firewall (WAF), DevSecOps

Roles and Responsibilities:
- Act as a high-level specialist who independently drives bot detection and mitigation initiatives and escalates to management as the next step.
- Analyze ecommerce fraud attack patterns and support mitigation strategies for credential stuffing/ATO, carding, scraping, scalping/inventory denial, and promo/gift card abuse.
- Master telemetry and logging correlation across WAF/CDN logs and application logs to support investigations, detection improvements, and operational dashboards.
- Build and refine detection logic using feature engineering and traffic baselining (normal vs anomaly) to improve coverage while reducing false positives.
- Develop and maintain golden signals such as login failure rate, unique IPs per account, new device rate, checkout abandonment spikes, and 4xx/5xx patterns.
- Apply deep understanding of HTTP and client behavior to interpret headers, cookies, caching, redirects, and TLS-related signals for bot identification and mitigation.




- Engineer and tune edge/WAF/CDN rules and bot policies, including rate limiting strategies (global, per IP, per session, per account, per ASN) and challenge flows (JS challenge, CAPTCHA, proof-of-work style concepts).
- Own allowlist/denylist governance, including how allowlists can be abused, and ensure safe operational controls.
- Drive release discipline for mitigations using staged deployment (monitor alert soft block hard block) and validate impact through monitoring and alerting.
- Support staged mitigation experiments (A/B testing) to protect conversion while improving security outcomes.
- Collaborate closely with application teams, fraud, SRE, and security operations to continuously tune detection logic as attacker techniques evolve.

Skills Required:
- Solid expertise in Akamai security solutions and WAF configurations
- Deep understanding of bot detection, fraud patterns, and application security
- Experience analy
