Original job description

Job Title: WAF / Akamai Security Engineer

Location: Montreal, Quebec - onsite 3 days a week.

1. WAF Onboarding & Application Migration

Lead onboarding of internet-facing applications to Akamai WAF.
Work with application, DNS, load balancer, proxy, firewall, and QA teams to migrate applications into monitor/alert mode and ultimately deny mode.
Coordinate testing, rollout plans, traffic cutovers, validation, and rollback procedures.

2. WAF Policy Tuning & False Positive Analysis

Analyze production traffic and WAF events to identify false positives.
Tune security policies to reduce business impact while maintaining strong protection.
Review blocked requests, investigate application behavior, and create narrowly scoped exceptions when justified.

3. AI, LLM & API Security Support

Troubleshoot AI- and LLM-related traffic that triggers WAF protections, such as SQL injection controls.
Work with application teams and vendors to design compensating controls, header-based attestation mechanisms, and API-specific protections.
Evaluate emerging Akamai AI security capabilities, including AI-powered detections, Firewall for AI, bot identification, and agentic AI protections.

4. Security Event Monitoring & Threat Analysis

Review WAF, Bot Manager, DDoS, Client Reputation, and API Security events.
Analyze attack patterns and determine whether activity is malicious or legitimate.
Recommend policy improvements and mitigations based on observed threats.

5. Quarterly Security Reviews & Platform Upgrades

Conduct structured reviews of applications protected by Akamai.
Evaluate opportunities to move applications from monitoring to mitigation mode.
Perform quarterly WAF upgrades, policy reviews, and security-control tuning to keep protections aligned with current threat intelligence.

6. Incident Response & Troubleshooting

Assist with production incidents where application behavior changes after WAF enablement.
Investigate latency issues, traffic-routing problems, load-balancer interactions, client IP handling, surge queue events, and application outages.
Coordinate with Akamai engineering resources and internal teams to identify root causes and corrective actions.

7. Security Architecture & Design Consulting

Advise application teams on secure web architectures, OWASP protections, API security, bot mitigation, client reputation controls, and DDoS protection.
Provide guidance on best practices for onboarding, secure application design, and remediation of web vulnerabilities.

8. Program Management & Stakeholder Engagement

Partner with application owners, infrastructure teams, auditors, risk managers, and security leadership.
Track onboarding progress, risks, dependencies, and remediation activities through program governance and ticketing systems.
Present status updates, metrics, risks, and remediation plans to senior management.

9. Operational Metrics & Reporting

Produce dashboards and reporting covering:
WAF adoption
Deny-mode coverage
Bot mitigation effectiveness
API discovery
Security exceptions
Attack activity
Measure onboarding progress, control effectiveness, and risk reduction across the organization.

10. Vendor Liaison & Technology Roadmap Guidance

Act as the primary interface between the enterprise and Akamai.
Engage Akamai product teams on product defects, enhancement requests, AI roadmap discussions, policy recommendations, and complex troubleshooting.
Evaluate new Akamai capabilities and coordinate pilot deployments where appropriate.

5+ years of Akamai experience
Akamai Kona Site Defender
Akamai Bot Manager
