Key Responsibilities

• Execute End-to-End Migration: Architect, test, and deploy the complete CDN migration from Akamai to Amazon CloudFront with zero downtime and minimal impact to live production traffic.
• Akamai Deconstruction & Translation: Audit and reverse-engineer existing Akamai setups (Property Manager rules, caching behaviors, and EdgeWorkers) and translate them into AWS CloudFront Cache Policies, Origin Request Policies, and CloudFront Functions/Lambda@Edge routines.
• Salesforce Integration: Configure CloudFront to sit securely in front of Salesforce environments (Commerce Cloud / Experience Cloud), managing custom domains, API routing, header manipulation, and session persistence.
• Edge Security Implementation: Design and deploy AWS WAF rules, Route 53 DNS routing, SSL/TLS certificates, and origin access control (OAC) to maintain a robust security posture.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Write, maintain, and automate all CloudFront, WAF, and DNS resources using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Performance & Monitoring: Conduct performance tuning, optimize cache hit ratios (CHR), set up real-time edge monitoring/logging, and lead cutover validation testing.
