About the role
At Akamai, our Global Legal team helps protect assets and enable growth while navigating evolving laws. As Counsel, you will draft, review and negotiate sales contracts globally, support public sector deals, and advise internal partners on commercial and government contracting matters.
A US citizenship requirement applies. Four or more years of law practice with tech clients, a JD from an ABA-accredited school, and knowledge of FAR/DFARS are essential.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
