Description du poste

Please note: We are not able to consider candidates who are not living and working in the Netherlands. At this moment we are not providing relocation sponsorships.

Be a pioneer in everything that is Akamai.

Engineers at Schuberg Philis are broadly interested in cooperating in the context of making the world a better place, one customer at a time.

We are broad oriented engineers who see the infrastructure world changing to software, who are not confined by the limits of our field, and who think outside the box to cooperate with other disciplines to find solutions.

Within multi-disciplinary self-steering customer teams, we are essential to providing 100% customer satisfaction and we therefore are in direct contact with our customer.

We work on complex systems, critical interfaces, and business critical platforms for and together with our customers. We understand business context and customer requirements, design systems and platforms, automate as much as possible, support the (customer) team and developers on applications, and keep the ir platform secure, up to date and highly available. Last but not least we optimize Run, so we can do Change, and are active in both critical operations and projects by building and managing Azure as well as AWS native landing zones in mission/business critical environments.

The Akamai customer team?

Schuberg Philis is the only Dutch-based Akamai partner at Platinum level. Our Akamai customer team works with the full Akamai portfolio for top companies within the financial services and retail market. Our customers heavily rely on Akamai products like App & API Protector, Edge DNS and Bot Manager. We also focus on the Zero Trust area using Enterprise Application Access and Enterprise Threat Protector.

The Akamai team is responsible for the complete integration, configuration and automation of the Akamai services we offer to our customers. We manage the security and property configurations of these environments end-to-end. As an Engineer in this team, you will proactively hunt for vulnerabilities in the customer domains, advise them on possible solutions and automate their configuration.

What you can offer

To be successful in this role, you bring experience from a customer-facing position and have a strong technical background in web application security. Specifically, we are looking for candidates with the following expertise:

• Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): Hands-on experience with platforms like Akamai, Cloudflare, Amazon CloudFront, Fastly, Google Cloud CDN, or Microsoft Azure CDN.
• Web Application Security: Working knowledge of security fundamentals and best practices, where familiarity with OWASP principles is highly preferred.
• Bot Management Solutions: Practical experience scoping, implementing, and tuning bot mitigation platforms to defend against malicious bots and automated abuse.
• API Security: Expertise in end-to-end API security, with the ability to assess, implement, and optimize solutions to protect APIs from unauthorized access or misuse.
• Zero Trust Security: Solid understanding of Zero Trust models with hands-on experience deploying and managing Zero Trust tools and practices to secure applications, users, and data.

We will consider it a bonus if you also have experience in:

• Working with complex public cloud environments (such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure) and their associated tooling.
• A development skill set that includes the ability to automate, refactor, deploy, run, and monitor solutions in a scalable and efficient manner.
• Familiarity with CI/CD best practices, as well as experience with declarative configuration languages such as Terraform/HCL.
• Proficiency in programming or scripting languages like Python, Ruby, or Golang.
• Using log and telemetry platforms such as Splunk, OpenSearch, or Grafana to monitor and analyze system performance and security.

Your ability to manage the full lifecycle of a security solution—from scoping project requirements to hands-on implementation and fine-tuning—will be critical. This position requires an individual who can balance technical depth with excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with customers and team members alike.

Everyone we work with and consider working with has a right to equal treatment. The hiring and appraisal process at Schuberg Philis is designed to be thorough and equitable, implementing fair payment, benefits, and opportunities across all demographics.
It is our desire to be a company that brings together multiple nationalities, cultures, religions, genders, abilities, and talents within and across our teams. We welcome colleagues from diverse backgrounds to join Schuberg Philis and actively support diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.
