  • Protect against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks
  • Continue to develop existing rate limiting and caching mechanisms between the network and application layers
  • Scale our infrastructure across our data centers, our other locations, and beyond

What impresses us:

  • Ability to structure complex ideas and develop concrete steps to implement them
  • Willingness to actively contribute ideas and look beyond your own area of expertise
  • Solid knowledge of network technologies, including BGP, DNS, TCP, HTTP, TLS, and IPv6
