Your role at Hostinger
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

As Hostinger continues to grow in scale, infrastructure complexity, and global presence, we are looking for a technically strong CISO to lead the next phase of our security evolution.

This is not a purely administrative or compliance-driven role. We are looking for a leader with deep technical understanding who can define long-term security strategy, shape architectural direction, and elevate cyber risk management to executive level — while staying close to engineering, software development and infrastructure realities.

You will work directly with executive leadership and collaborate closely with Engineering, Infrastructure, and Product teams to ensure Hostinger remains secure, scalable, and trusted by millions of customers worldwide.
