DayToDay Responsbilities:

Core Technical Skills
Content Delivery Network (CDN) Expertise

• Cloudflare Knowledge (Even a basic knowledge of working on one of the 2 products is fine):
• Configuration and optimization of caching rules, edge settings, security policies, and web application firewalls (WAFs).
• Understanding API integrations, DNS management, custom caching, and performance optimization for both platforms.
• Knowledge of handling parallel CDN strategies, including active-active and active-passive setups.
• Familiarity with CDN logs, error handling, and traffic steering techniques.

Cloud Infrastructure (AWS)
AWS Core Services:

• EC2, S3, Route 53, and IAM for resource provisioning and security.
• API Gateway for handling REST API endpoints.
• CloudFormation or Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

AWS Networking:

• VPC, Security Groups, and Network ACLs for secure configurations.
• Knowledge of Global Accelerator for improving availability and performance across multiple AWS regions.

AWS Load Balancing:

• Elastic Load Balancer (ALB/NLB): Configuring listener rules, target groups, and health checks.
• Understanding of AWS multi-region deployments and how to leverage load balancing across them.

Kubernetes (EKS on AWS or Self-Managed)

• Deploying and managing containerized applications using EKS or self-hosted Kubernetes clusters.
• Configuring ingress controllers (like NGINX or Traefik) for routing traffic from CDNs.
• Managing service discovery, load balancing, and secrets (like API keys for Cloudflare).
• Implementing Helm charts for application deployments.
• Knowledge of Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) and rolling updates.

API Integration & Management

• Designing and managing REST APIs that allow the control plane to interact with both CDNs.
• Creating middleware to abstract API differences between Cloudflare.
• Secure API integration using OAuth2, JWTs, and API tokens.
• API rate limiting, logging, and error handling.

Load Balancing Strategies

• Implementing DNS-based load balancing (using Route 53 or external solutions) to direct traffic across CDNs.
• Configuring Weighted Routing Policies for traffic distribution.
  Understanding Failover Routing to switch traffic if one CDN faces downtime.
• Deploying and configuring Application Load Balancers to route traffic internally.

Development & Automation Skills
Programming Languages:

• Python, Go, or Node.js for developing the control plane and API integrations.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

• Using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation to automate deployments.

CI/CD Pipelines:

• Experience with tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or AWS CodePipeline for automating testing and deployments.

Automation:

• Scripting in Bash, Python, or using AWS Lambda for serverless automation.

Security Skills

• Securing APIs with authentication and authorization mechanisms.
• Understanding of SSL/TLS certificates for secure CDN and API traffic.
• Applying WAF rules (both on AWS and CDN platforms) to protect against common vulnerabilities.
• Managing secrets and configurations securely using tools like AWS Secrets Manager.
