Implementing Akamai delivery and performance products hands-on, building and maintaining live configurations and demo environments that show real capabilities on real traffic, not slideware
Designing and running reproducible benchmarking with documented, defensible methodology, validated against independent third-party measurement, to substantiate Akamai's performance advantages with evidence
Authoring reference architectures and demos that make Akamai's technical differentiation concrete for customers, field teams, and events
Owning the technical answer to what makes Akamai's distributed network and content delivery platform genuinely differentiated, and keeping that answer current as the platform evolves
Working directly with engineering to build working knowledge of network optimization, carrier and telco peering, route optimization, post quantum cryptography, developer experience, and performance
Producing a consistent cadence of technical thought leadership
deep-dive blogs, benchmark reports, conference talks, and demos
timed to global and industry events so Akamai shows up with proof when the market is paying attention
Partnering with product marketing to ground positioning, messaging, and competitive content in technical reality
Requirements
6 years of relevant experience in technical marketing, solutions or sales engineering, or network engineering in CDN, content delivery, networking, edge or adjacent infrastructure, and a Bachelor's degree in a technical field or its equivalent.

Designed and run performance benchmarks with a methodology you can defend publicly
Built demos and reference architectures that technical audiences used and trusted
Comfortable engaging network engineers or peering, route optimization, and post-quantum cryptography, and equally comfortable presenting the implications to a non-technical audience
