<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>Staff Software Engineer, Linux Edge Kernel</h3>
Fastly's Kernel and Host Networking team builds and ships the Linux kernel that runs on every server in our global edge network, and every customer request passes through it. As a Staff engineer you own technical problems end to end: from a crash signature or a new NIC on the bench, through root cause and design, to a change that is upstreamed and safely running on thousands of servers. The work spans networking, XDP and eBPF, memory, performance and hardware enablement. It also spans layers. Our kernel is the datapath of a distributed system whose control planes are constantly pushing new state to the fleet, so staying correct under change is part of the job. Formal CS education is not required; demonstrable experience is what matters.
<h4>What You'll Do:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Set technical direction for kernel projects, own them end to end from problem statement to fleet rollout, and mentor engineers on the team</li>
<li>Take new servers, CPUs and NICs from first boot to full fleet: drivers, IRQ affinity, RSS and queue layout on high core count hosts</li>
<li>Improve datapath and transport performance with XDP, eBPF and protocol work based on IETF specifications</li>
<li>Debug problems that cross layers with application teams, such as MTU behavior, cgroup memory accounting and packet filtering</li>
<li>Develop and maintain kernel changes and Fastly kernel modules on our long term kernel line, and reduce our private delta by upstreaming</li>
<li>Make sure state pushed from control planes to eBPF and XDP programs is applied, verified and safe to roll back</li>
<li>Own kernel health in production: triage crashes, WARNs and regressions across the fleet, find the root cause and ship the fix</li>
<li>Own and improve the kernel release process and the signals behind it: CI, bake, canary, staged rollout and rollback across thousands of servers, plus crash metrics and drift detection that fire before customers notice</li>
<li>Join the on-call rotation, lead the kernel side of incidents and drive follow-up actions to closure</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h4>What We're Looking For:&nbsp;</h4>
<ul>
<li>7+ years of related engineering experience, including substantial production C, with 3 of those years leading technical projects</li>
<li>Production Linux kernel development, including debugging use-after-free, refcount and leak bugs with KASAN, kdump, ftrace, perf or bpftrace</li>
<li>Working knowledge of the scheduler and memory management (EEVDF, memcg)</li>
<li>Experience managing a kernel patch stack and working with upstream communities</li>
<li>Solid understanding of the Linux network stack (TCP/IP, sk_buff lifecycle, qdiscs, NIC drivers) and XDP or eBPF, with deep expertise in at least one of these areas</li>
<li>Operational discipline: staged rollouts, canaries, kill switches, observability, postmortems and closing action items</li>
<li>Understanding of distributed systems: control plane and datapath consistency, partial failure and safe config rollout at fleet scale</li>
<li>Ability to design broadly scoped work and drive it across teams</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h4>We’ll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these:&nbsp;</h4>
<ul>
<li>Upstream kernel contributions or subsystem maintainership</li>
<li>Deep Knowledge of Transport protocols from IETF RFCs: QUIC, TCP, ECN and L4S, MASQUE</li>
<li>Hardware enablement on AMD EPYC or Intel platforms, and NIC drivers such as mlx5, ice or i40e</li>
<li>Load balancing or traffic steering systems</li>
<li>CDN or large edge network environments</li>
<li>Container networking: network namespaces, veth, cgroups, and eBPF-based CNI datapaths</li>
</ul>
<h4>Work Hours:</h4>
This position requires availability during core business hours and participation in an on-call rotation.
<h4>&nbsp;</h4>
<h4>Work Location(s) &amp; Travel Requirements:</h4>
This position is open to remote and hybrid work locations in the United States. Our US Fastly offices are located in:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>New York, NY</li>
<li>San Francisco, CA</li>
<li>Denver, CO</li>

Software Engineer&nbsp;
We are looking for a full-stack software engineer to join Fastly’s Platform Observability and Intelligence (POI) team.
The POI team is responsible for:
<ul>
<li>Fastly's internal observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, OpenTelemetry, and more), spanning cloud infrastructure and physical hardware.</li>
<li>Fastly's internal developer portal, built on Backstage.</li>
<li>An internal set of tools and data pipelines that synthesize network and financial data to provide insights into network costs, capacity planning, and related business concerns.</li>
</ul>
We are specifically looking for someone to contribute to the first two items on this list, though you will work across all of our software.
This is a generalist, mid-level position, ideal for someone with a few years of experience who is seeking to grow their career. We are looking for an engineer who is curious, proactive, and eager to grow into an impactful role. You will work broadly and deeply, contribute meaningfully to projects that affect how Fastly engineers understand and operate their services, and build toward owning larger pieces of work over time.
What You'll Do:
<ul>
<li>Design, build and maintain software and platform capabilities that power Fastly’s internal observability function and developer experience</li>
<li>Contribute to the development of our internal developer portal, helping engineering teams discover services, documentation, and operational tooling all in one place</li>
<li>Work with your team to break down project requirements into concrete tasks, and take ownership of your assigned work through to completion</li>
<li>Debug and resolve issues across the software stack, from datacenter hardware to the browser, often spanning multiple services and data sources</li>
<li>Communicate clearly about the status of your work and any problems you encounter. Write useful updates, ask good questions, and raise issues early rather than at the deadline</li>
<li>Collaborate with other engineers on the team. Provide thoughtful code review and share context and knowledge.</li>
<li>Participate constructively in team planning and retrospectives</li>
<li>Participate in on-call rotation as required, and respond to incidents within the team's SLA while on-call.</li>
</ul>
What We're Looking For:&nbsp;
Technical skills:
<ul>
<li>2+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ability to deliver quality work on reasonably well-defined projects with limited oversight</li>
<li>Experience in a statically typed, modern back-end language (Go, Java, Rust, etc.)</li>
<li>Experience in modern front-end frameworks (React, etc.), or a willingness to dive in and become proficient</li>
<li>Experience with SQL and database-driven applications</li>
<li>Experience working with Linux systems and the shell</li>
<li>Experience working with distributed systems or cloud-based services, and an interest in developing deeper expertise in operating and debugging them</li>
<li>Comfort with large and unfamiliar codebases: jumping into a system you didn't build, figuring out the context, and contributing with confidence. Our stack is broad, and you will regularly work in code you haven't seen before, including code written at Fastly and open-source codebases.</li>
<li>Strong debugging skills: forming hypotheses and narrowing down causes methodically. You’re willing to step outside your primary area of expertise to get to the bottom of something.</li>
</ul>
Ways of working:
<ul>
<li>Clear, thoughtful writing and communication. You understand that a precise Slack message, a well-written pull request description, or a clear explanation to a teammate is just as important as the code itself.</li>
<li>A service mindset. The people who use our tools depend on them to do their jobs. You care about their experience, you're approachable when they have questions, and you follow through and close the communication loop</li>
<li>A proactive disposition. You take ownership of your responsibilities. When you finish a task, you look for the next useful thing. When you see something that could be better, you say so.</li>

Staff Product Manager, Compliance
For a growing share of Fastly's customers, compliance is the gate in front of every other decision: where data lives, who can see it, and what they can prove afterward. This role is responsible for defining and driving what Fastly's platform gives customers to get through that gate.&nbsp;
As a Staff Product Manager on Fastly's Core Infrastructure Product Management team, you will own compliance as a shared capability of the platform: the controls in the control plane, the residency and sovereignty behavior customers configure, and the evidence and attestation surfaces they use directly to satisfy their own auditors and regulators. You will define these across Fastly’s platform, rather than solving the same problem separately for multiple products.&nbsp;
You will determine what Fastly's products must do so customers can meet their obligations, then carry those decisions through engineering, security, legal, and go-to-market. You will translate regulation into requirements and take clear positions on what to build and what not to. This role has broad latitude and real ownership, reporting to the Director of Core Infrastructure Product Management.
 What You'll Do:
<ul>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Own compliance as a platform capability: define the strategy and roadmap for what Fastly must provide so customers can satisfy compliance and regulatory requirements. You will set the multi-year view, prioritize the investments that open regulated segments and unblock opportunities, and synthesize customer needs, regulatory shifts, field input, and market signals into a defensible set of priorities.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Define residency and sovereignty requirements: own what customers need to control about where their data lives and where it moves, and turn that into requirements the platform is built to. Set the standard consistently rather than per product.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Build the evidence customers can pull themselves: define the attestation and evidence surfaces customers use directly to show their auditors and regulators what happened to their data, when, and why. Make proof a product capability rather than a support request.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Specify governance and control in the control plane: define what customers need to control, inspect, and demonstrate about how their configuration is set and changed – the capabilities that let them satisfy their own internal and external oversight, consistently across products.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Get ahead of what's coming: track the regulatory shifts that change what your customers must comply with, including sovereignty regimes, privacy law, and emerging AI governance, and turn them into product requirements before they stall a deal or block adoption.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Align partners and drive decisions: bring engineering, security, legal, and go-to-market to a shared view of what customers require, frame the tradeoffs, and drive decisions to closure. You will bring structure to problems that arrive without it, and connect complex requirements to clear customer outcomes.</li>
</ul>
What We're Looking For:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Experience: 8+ years in product management or technical product leadership, ideally on infrastructure, platform, or security products, including ambiguous challenges that crossed organizational boundaries.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Regulatory fluency: a working understanding of the regulations that shape enterprise software – data residency and sovereignty, privacy regimes such as GDPR and CCPA, and emerging AI governance – and the ability to turn what a customer must comply with into concrete product requirements.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Precision: the ability to take a compliance requirement — a law, a contractual term, an auditor's ask — and pin down exactly what it obligates, then define the narrowest product capability that fully satisfies it. You know the difference between what a rule requires and what people assume it requires, and you don't over- or under-build against it.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Technical fluency: enough command of control planes, configuration models, and how data moves through a platform to set well-grounded requirements and earn engineers' trust.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Collaborative leadership: a proven ability to lead without authority and build the relationships that make cross-functional work move.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Communication and presentation: a clear, confident communicator who can move between detailed requirements discussions with engineers and crisp strategic framing for executives, customers, and go-to-market partners. You can stand up in front of a room, make a case, and hold it under questioning.</li>
</ul>
We’ll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Reasoning about data residency in systems that cache, replicate, or fail over by design</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Turning an audit requirement into something a customer can pull themselves, such as with tamper-evident logs, immutable configuration history, or machine-readable attestation</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Making a product call on a regulatory requirement before the interpretation settles</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Regulated verticals such as finance, healthcare, or public sector, and the frameworks their customers are held to, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, or the sector-specific rules that set the bar</li>
</ul>
Work Hours: This position will require you to be available during core business hours.&nbsp;
Work Location(s) &amp; Travel Requirements:&nbsp;
This position is open to Hybrid And Remote Work Locations.
The preferred locations for this position are:
<ul>

Senior Technical Product Manager, API Traffic and Enforcement
APIs are how software talks to software, and the volume and variety of that traffic is growing rapidly. AI agents now discover and call APIs directly, and MCP servers are a new kind of endpoint with the same questions attached: what exists, what it's supposed to do, and who is allowed to call it. Enterprises are challenged to respond to those questions. This role owns Fastly's answer.
As a Senior Technical Product Manager on Fastly's Core Infrastructure Product Management team, you will own how Fastly defines what traffic is allowed and how traffic is held to that definition. That means our customers' API surface end to end – discovery and inventory of the APIs they actually run, the schemas that describe intended behavior, and the API gateway itself – and the enforcement primitives underneath it, including ACLs, allowlists, rate limiting, and the request-path controls that turn a declared model into something the platform actually enforces. Much of security is about detecting the bad. Your charter is the other half: defining what good looks like and enforcing it.
Customer APIs are the first and largest surface for the positive model, and the primitives you own are the ones other products adopt as that model extends across the platform. This role reports to the Director of Core Infrastructure Product Management and has real latitude to set direction.
What You'll Do:
<ul>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Own the positive model end to end: drive the strategy and roadmap for defining what traffic is allowed. You will take customers from not knowing what APIs they run, to describing intended behavior precisely, to enforcing it in the request path.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Make API discovery tell customers something they didn't know: own discovery and inventory across the API surfaces customers actually operate. Discovery is where most customers start, and how good it is determines whether they trust anything built on top of it.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Turn schemas into enforceable contracts: own schema definition, generation, and validation. When customers can't hand you an accurate spec for their own APIs, the product has to produce one worth enforcing against, then keep it accurate as their APIs change.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Own enforcement in the request path: ACLs, allowlists, rate limiting, and the controls that turn a declared model into something the platform enforces, along with the gateway that applies them. Build these as primitives other products can adopt, not features scoped to one surface.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Make agents first-class: agents calling APIs are a new kind of client, and MCP servers are a new kind of endpoint. Define how Fastly identifies them, authorizes them, and holds them to allowed behavior.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Take and defend clear positions: bring evidence-based points of view on how traffic should be described and constrained, and drive them to decisions across engineering, product, and partner teams. You will bring structure to ambiguous problems and move decisions forward earlier.</li>
</ul>
What We're Looking For:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Experience: 5+ years in product management or technical product leadership, ideally on API, security, or platform infrastructure products.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">API and request-path fluency: you understand how API traffic is described, validated, and constrained — schemas and specs, gateway behavior, and the difference between allowlist models and detection-based ones. You can reason about where each fits and what it costs to run.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Platform thinking: a track record of building capabilities that serve more than one product or team. Shared primitives, enforcement points, or controls others build on, rather than features scoped to a single surface.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Execution focus: a demonstrated bias for shipping. You are hands-on and comfortable owning outcomes in ambiguous, fast-moving conditions rather than waiting for perfect clarity.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Conviction and influence: the ability to form clear, evidence-based positions and defend them across engineering and product partners, including pushing back constructively. You build alignment without relying on authority.</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important;">Communication and presentation: a clear communicator who can move between deep technical discussion with engineers and crisp framing for customers and executives, with genuine curiosity about the "why" behind a customer's problem. You can stand up in front of a room, make a case, and hold it under questioning.</li>
</ul>
We’ll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these:&nbsp;

Fastly’s customers include many of the world’s most prominent companies, including GitHub, Yelp, Paramount, and JetBlue.
We're building a more trustworthy Internet. Come join us.</div>Posting Open Date: 08/24/2026
Anticipated Posting Close Date*: 10/24/2026
Senior Backend Software Engineer (APIs), Security Products
Some of the largest sites on the internet trust Fastly to keep them safe. The Security Products Console team owns the public-facing interface they use to do it - configuring Next-Gen WAF, DDoS protection, Bot Management, and the products we're building next.
Our APIs meet critical business needs. Customers deploy them during active attacks, automate them through Terraform and CI/CD, and build entire security workflows on top of them. When the threat landscape moves, our APIs are how customers move with it. A bad release here leaves them exposed when they need us most: a great one is invisible, and that's the bar.
We're hiring as the API surface scales for new product launches and a growing developer ecosystem. You'll be one of the engineers shaping what that surface looks like for the next several years.
What You'll Do:
<ul>
<li>Design, ship, and own public-facing APIs and backend services in Go -from technical proposal &amp; design docs through implementation, testing, and production rollout and on-call support.</li>
<li>Use AI coding agents as part of your daily workflow.</li>
<li>Partner with frontend engineers, product managers, and security researchers to ship the customer experience end-to-end.</li>
<li>Take ambiguous or broadly-scoped problems and turn them into well-defined technical plans that the team can execute on.</li>
<li>Author design and architectural documents and use them to drive alignment across engineering and product teams</li>
<li>Collaborate with internal platform teams, product managers, and stakeholders across the organization to understand their needs and deliver impactful solutions</li>
<li>Consider stability, performance, and scalability in your designs and in the guidance you provide to the team</li>
<li>Mentor and grow other engineers on the team through code review, pairing, and technical leadership</li>
<li>Participate in an on-call rotation</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
What We're Looking For:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Hands-on experience designing and building reliable, large-scale backend systems - most Senior Engineers at Fastly have at least 5 years of relevant experience&nbsp;</li>
<li>5+ years shipping production Go as your primary language.</li>
<li>3+ years on public APIs with external consumers. You've shipped a breaking change to customers who'd already integrated against your API. You've written a deprecation notice that actually went out.</li>
<li>You drive projects, not just tasks. You've owned a multi-week effort end-to-end: design doc through post-launch.</li>
<li>Good judgement on RESTful API design: resource modeling, versioning, idempotency, error semantics, pagination, OpenAPI. You've made one of these calls wrong in production and remember what it cost to clean up.</li>
<li>You design for the people downstream of your API. The customer hitting your endpoint at 3am, the support engineer debugging their escalation, the frontend teammate integrating against your contract. You've watched a vague error message of yours confuse someone and changed how you write them since</li>
<li>Testing and observability as subtraction, not addition. You can name a metric you added that paid off — and one you'd delete now.</li>
<li>Coding agents as a daily driver, not reluctantly. This team uses them heavily</li>
</ul>
We’ll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Built or operated security products (WAF, bot, DDoS, app security).</li>
<li>Working knowledge of auth at API scale (RBAC, OAuth, JWT, SAML)</li>
</ul>
Work Hours:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>This position will require you to be available during core business hours (Pacific Time) and occasional nights and weekends as required for on call support</li>
</ul>
Work Location(s) &amp; Travel Requirements:&nbsp;
This position is open to the following preferred office locations:
<ul>
<li>San Francisco, CA, USA</li>

Fastly currently embraces a largely hybrid model for most roles which allows employees flexibility to split their time between the office and home.&nbsp;
