Job summary

CVS Health is seeking a Staff CDN Engineer to lead enterprise CDN, edge delivery, and web performance initiatives. You will architect standards, build reusable automation, and drive reliability across application, cloud, network, and security teams.

You will mentor engineers, participate in on-call rotations, and coordinate production incident responses while pushing modernization of CDN and edge-security platforms.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of hands-on experience designing, implementing, supporting, and troubleshooting enterprise CDN(Akamai), edge-delivery, web-performance, DNS, network-delivery, or closely related solutions, with deep knowledge of HTTP/HTTPS, TLS, caching, routing, traffic steering, origin connectivity, and application performance.
• Strong software engineering and automation experience using languages such as Python, Go, or Node.js, together with Infrastructure as Code, APIs, Git-based development, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, configuration deployment, reusable tooling, and self-service platform capabilities.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex production incidents and technical investigations, including prioritizing urgent operational demands, coordinating cross-functional responders, restoring service, communicating during escalations, performing root-cause analysis, and driving durable corrective actions.
• Proven ability to define reference architectures and engineering standards, lead complex technical initiatives through direct contribution and influence, and collaborate effectively across application, cloud, network, infrastructure, security, platform, and vendor teams.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills, with an ownership mindset and the ability to manage competing priorities and drive complex issues to resolution.
• Ability and willingness to participate in an on-call rotation and support scheduled production changes, incident response, and business-critical release activities outside standard working hours, including evening or nighttime windows when required.

Responsibilities

• Define and evolve enterprise CDN and edge-delivery architectures, engineering standards, and reusable design patterns; build APIs, Infrastructure as Code modules, GitOps workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and self-service capabilities that standardize onboarding, deployment, configuration, validation, governance, and lifecycle management while reducing operational risk and recurring manual effort.
• Serve as the enterprise subject matter expert for CDN(Akamai), edge delivery, web performance, DNS, TLS, caching, routing, traffic management, and application security; lead architecture and design reviews, align cross-functional teams, resolve technical dependencies, and contribute hands-on engineering to complex customer-facing and platform initiatives.
• Lead advanced analysis and troubleshooting across CDN, DNS, TLS, routing, caching, traffic steering, edge-to-origin connectivity, application delivery, and web performance; use monitoring, testing, logs, telemetry, and traffic analytics to improve service health, latency, cache efficiency, and proactive remediation.
• Provide hands-on operational support through participation in an on-call rotation, leadership during high-priority production incidents, and support for scheduled evening or nighttime releases when required; coordinate service restoration, communicate during escalations, conduct root-cause analysis, and drive corrective actions that prevent recurrence.
• Mentor engineers through architecture reviews, design discussions, incident investigations, code reviews, workshops, and hands-on collaboration; create reusable guidance and promote disciplined operational readiness, service ownership, and continuous improvement.
• Set the long-term technical direction and modernization roadmap for enterprise CDN, DNS, traffic management, and edge-security platforms while balancing transformation with production stability, business-critical delivery, and ongoing support responsibilities.
