You will collaborate with engineering, product management, and product marketing to ensure the technical story remains current while demonstrating Akamai's capabilities across global edge

Qualifications

• 6 years of relevant experience in technical marketing, solutions or sales engineering, or network engineering in CDN, content delivery, networking, edge or adjacent infrastructure.
