About the Role

This role owns Fastly's answer to how the company defines and enforces API traffic. You will be responsible for the customer's API surface end to end, including discovery, inventory, schemas, and enforcement primitives like ACLs and rate limiting.

Responsibilities

  • Own the positive model end to end: drive the strategy and roadmap for defining what traffic is allowed.
  • Make API discovery tell customers something they didn't know: own discovery and inventory across the API surfaces customers actually operate.
  • Turn schemas into enforceable contracts: own schema definition, generation, and validation.
  • 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.
  • Make agents first-class: define how Fastly identifies them, authorizes them, and holds them to allowed behavior.
  • 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.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in product management or technical product leadership, ideally on API, security, or platform infrastructure products.
  • API and request-path fluency: understand how API traffic is described, validated, and constrained — schemas and specs, gateway behavior, and the difference between allowlist models and detection-based ones.
  • Platform thinking: a track record of building capabilities that serve more than one product or team.
  • Execution focus: a demonstrated bias for shipping.
  • Conviction and influence: the ability to form clear, evidence-based positions and defend them across engineering and product partners.
  • Communication and presentation: a clear communicator who can move between deep technical discussion with engineers and crisp framing for customers and executives.

Skills

  • API gateways
  • OpenAPI-driven validation
  • Schema generation from live traffic
  • Drift detection as APIs change
  • Agentic traffic stack
  • Workload and agent identity (SPIFFE/WIMSE, mTLS)
  • OAuth 2.1 for delegated agent authorization
  • Agent protocols like MCP and its authorization spec
  • Request-path enforcement at scale
  • WASM filters
  • eBPF
  • Policy engines like OPA and Rego
  • Startup or 0-to-1 experience building API, security, or infrastructure products
