Job description

Product & Infrastructure Security Engineer

Turkey

Full-Time

Job Overview

UltaHost is looking for a Senior Product & Infrastructure Security Engineer to take ownership of the security of our hosting products and the infrastructure that delivers them. This is a deeply technical, hands-on position combining product security, application security, Linux/server security, virtualization, network security, vulnerability management, and DDoS incident response. We are looking for someone who understands security not only from a testing perspective, but from the realities of operating and protecting production hosting infrastructure.

What You’ll Own

Hosting Product & Application Security

• Review the security of VPS, VDS, dedicated servers, shared hosting, WordPress, cloud, Mac hosting, email hosting, game hosting, customer portals, control panels, APIs, and internal hosting platforms.
• Assess authentication, authorization, session security, tenant isolation, secrets handling, privileged operations, and data-exposure risks.
• Perform threat modeling, architecture reviews, security testing, API security reviews, and release risk assessments.
• Define security requirements and release checks for new products, major features, and sensitive platform changes.
• Work with Product, Engineering, DevOps, and QA teams until vulnerabilities are remediated, retested, and closed.
• Define secure baselines for Linux servers, hypervisors, control panels, network devices, firewalls, storage systems, and management interfaces.
• Review SSH configurations, exposed ports and services, routing, DNS, firewall rules, segmentation, management access, and privilege boundaries.
• Secure environments involving Proxmox, KVM, VMware, Ceph, containers, VPS nodes, dedicated infrastructure, and data-center connectivity.
• Investigate brute-force attacks, malware, suspicious processes, privilege escalation, lateral movement, data exfiltration, and abnormal traffic.
• Own technical DDoS/DoS response, including traffic analysis, mitigation, provider escalation, evidence collection, and post-incident reviews.

Vulnerability & Technical Incident Management

• Run vulnerability scanning, configuration audits, patch-risk assessments, and targeted penetration testing.
• Prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual customer and infrastructure risk.
• Assign remediation owners and deadlines and verify that fixes are effective.
• Lead product and infrastructure security incidents.
• Support internal security incidents when servers, networks, or applications are involved.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in hosting security, infrastructure security, Linux security, network security, product security, cloud security, or a closely related role.
• Advanced Linux administration skills.
• Real-world experience with VPS, dedicated servers, shared hosting, control panels, hypervisors, storage, or large multi-tenant environments.
• Experience with Proxmox, KVM, VMware, Ceph, containers, or equivalent virtualization and cluster technologies.
• Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls, VPNs, segmentation, and traffic analysis.
• Hands-on experience detecting and mitigating DDoS attacks.
• Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, API security, authentication, authorization, session security, tenant isolation, secrets management, and secure release practices.
• Experience with vulnerability scanners, penetration-testing tools, SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, configuration reviews, tcpdump, Wireshark, and log analysis.
• Ability to investigate compromised servers, malware, brute-force attacks, web attacks, privilege escalation, and abnormal network behavior.

Preferred Background

Direct experience in a web hosting company, cloud provider, ISP, CDN, data center, infrastructure vendor, or MSSP is highly preferred. Preferred certifications include OSCP, OSWA, CCNP Security, GIAC, Security+, CISSP, cloud-security certifications, or equivalent practical expertise. Certifications are valuable, but real production experience is more important.

What Success Looks Like

You will help us achieve:

• Earlier detection of critical vulnerabilities before release or exploitation
• Faster containment of product, server, network, and DDoS incidents
• Reduction of exposed high-risk services and unsafe configurations
• Reduction of overdue vulnerabilities
• Secure baseline coverage across Linux, virtualization, network, and hosting products
• Strong product-security reviews and remediation verification
• Prevention of recurring security weaknesses

Important

This is not a general penetration-testing position. We need someone who can secure and investigate real production hosting infrastructure not someone whose experience is limited to vulnerability testing and producing penetration-test reports. You will work closely with our Internal Security & Security Operations Engineer and collaborate with Product, Engineering, DevOps, Network, QA, Support, Abuse, and executive management. If Linux, networks, virtualization, hosting infrastructure, product security, and incident response are where you do your best work, we’d like to hear from you.
