Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 | 2 Software Engineer Roles, 0–2 Years | India Remote — Apply Now
Last updated: October 19, 2026
Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 is hiring a Software Engineer for its Delivery Experience Team, and the location is listed simply as India (Remote). Eligibility is genuinely open: a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and 0 to 2 years in Java, plus 0–2 years in UI technologies. For a fully remote engineering role at a company of Akamai’s size, that is an unusually low bar.
The Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 requisition lists the location as India (Remote) rather than naming a city with a remote option attached. Fully remote engineering roles open to freshers are rare, and they are rarer still at a company running infrastructure at Akamai’s scale. If you are outside the Bangalore–Hyderabad–Pune corridor, this is one of the few openings on this site that does not require you to relocate.
What the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 role involves
In the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 role, Akamai’s Control Center is the portal its customers use to manage their accounts — tools, APIs, analytics, configuration management and web services. You would join the Delivery Experience Team as a full-stack engineer working on that portal.
- Design, develop, unit test and roll out features
- Work closely with globally distributed, cross-functional teams to deliver features
- Develop unit tests, perform code reviews and work with QA engineers to ensure high code quality
- Execute a cross-functional Scrum role — development, testing, supporting QA, and resolving integration or production issues as needed
In the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 listing, the fourth responsibility includes handling integration or production issues as necessary. On a platform used by enterprise customers, that can mean being pulled into something urgent. It is a genuinely good way to learn fast, but combined with globally distributed teams it is worth asking in the interview what the on-call expectation is and which time zones you would overlap with.
Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 – new opening: Network Operations Systems (Job 4073)
For the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026, Akamai posted a second Software Engineer opening on 14 October 2026, also fully remote in India. This one sits in the Network Operations Systems Group, which builds the automation, observability and identity tools used to run Akamai’s global network – a network that carries over 20% of the world’s web traffic.
- Analyse, design and build high-availability systems software.
- Add features to services for automation, observability and identity management.
- Support the full product life cycle, from idea to operation.
- Improve testing, deployment and monitoring of the team’s systems.
Who fits: a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science or a related field, at least about 6 months of programming in Python, Go or shell script on Linux/Unix, knowledge of TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS or TLS, and Git. For this Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 role, internship experience usually counts towards the six months.
Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 eligibility
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or its equivalent
- 0 to 2 years of experience in Java
- 0 to 2 years in UI technologies — JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3, with familiarity with responsiveness concepts
- Competency in data structures, algorithms and databases
- Passionate, self-driven and able to excel with minimum supervision
For the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026, Akamai has published no CGPA cut-off, no eligible batch year, no closing date and no salary figure for this requisition. We do not estimate salaries. Note that the experience bands are expressed as ranges starting at zero, which is Akamai explicitly leaving the door open to freshers.
That phrase appears in most job adverts and usually means little. In a fully remote role it is the actual requirement. Nobody is sitting next to you to unblock you, so the ability to research a problem, ask a clear written question and keep moving is the skill that decides whether remote work goes well for you. Be ready to give an example of that in the interview.
Who should apply to the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026
Apply to the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 if you write Java and have real frontend work behind you — the listing wants both halves, not one. A portfolio with a Java backend and a JavaScript interface you actually built is close to the ideal profile here.
This is also a strong option if relocation is a barrier for you. Candidates from smaller cities routinely lose out on good engineering roles for reasons that have nothing to do with ability, and the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 removes that obstacle entirely.
How to apply for the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026
- Open the Akamai careers listing for Software Engineer using the link below
- Create or sign in to your Akamai candidate profile and upload your CV
- Show both halves of the stack: a Java service and a JavaScript/HTML5/CSS3 interface, with links
- Name your database work explicitly — the listing asks for database competency alongside DSA
- Mention any unit testing or code review experience, since both are named responsibilities
- If you have worked remotely or async before — open source, a distributed team project — say so
No closing date is published. Remote fresher-eligible roles attract very high application volumes, so apply the day you see it rather than saving it.
Applying to the Akamai Off Campus Drive 2026 through the careers portal is free. Akamai does not ask candidates for registration fees, equipment deposits or training charges. Remote-role job fraud is common in India — apply only through the official careers link and treat any payment request as a scam.
