This role will focus on implementing new features, optimizing performance, and strengthening security controls across the client's edge infrastructure.

The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on expertise in Nginx/OpenResty, Lua, C/FF module development, eBPF, and Linux networking, along with strong experience in infrastructure-as-code and DevOps practices.

This position requires a highly technical professional capable of working autonomously while contributing to the reliability, performance, and security of a mission-critical edge platform.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and ship features and improvements for our CDN and WAF edge stack.
  • Develop and maintain Lua code running in Nginx/OpenResty and build high-performance C modules or FFI bindings where needed.
  • Implement packet- and kernel-level observability or filtering using eBPF (including XDP/eBPF tracing for telemetry and enforcement).
  • Tune and troubleshoot high-volume Nginx deployments for latency, throughput and memory usage.
  • Define, author, and maintain WAF rule logic, request/response inspection and mitigation workflows.
  • Build automation for deployment and configuration using Infrastructure-as-Code (Ansible, Puppet, Terraform, or similar).
  • Work with networking protocols and operational requirements of a CDN: BGP, anycast, TCP/IP stack, load balancing and connection handling.
  • Create and run performance/load tests, fuzzing and security tests; profile and optimize hotspots.
  • Produce clear design documentation, runbooks, and hand over completed work to operations. Participate in code reviews and mentor engineers.
  • Collaborate with product, security, and SRE teams to align feature work with product goals and SLAs.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of production experience in Linux systems engineering, networked services, or edge infrastructure.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Nginx and Lua (ngx_lua/OpenResty), including writing Lua modules for request processing.
  • Familiarity or experience building native C modules or FFI bindings used by Nginx/Lua; comfortable with libc, POSIX APIs and building/packaging C extensions.
  • Practical experience with eBPF (tools, BCC/libbpf, XDP) for telemetry, filtering or tracing.
  • Deep knowledge of networking and TCP/IP internals, load balancing, and CDN operational patterns. Familiarity with BGP and anycast is a plus.
  • Experience with Web application firewall, either appliance, service or software and its capabilities.
  • Solid Linux kernel and userland troubleshooting skills: perf, tcpdump/wireshark, strace, systemtap
  • Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and configuration management (Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Terraform or similar).
  • Experience deploying and maintaining WAF rulesets and policies; understanding of OWASP top risks and typical web attack patterns.
  • Experience with testing and benchmarking tools (wrk, ab, locust, etc.) and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Excellent communication skills; able to work independently and collaborate effectively with distributed teams.

Nice to have

  • Prior experience building or operating CDNs or edge platforms.
  • Familiarity with web security tooling/modsecurity or other WAF platforms.
  • Experience with container workflows and edge deployment (Docker, HashiCorp Nomad).
  • Exposure to cloud providers' networking (AWS/GCP/Azure) and hybrid edge deployments.
  • Familiarity with observability stacks: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK.
  • Experience cross-compiling or packaging modules for multiple Linux distributions.
  • Experience programming in Lua and C, with familiarity using LuaJIT and the Lua FFI for native, high-performance integrations.
