What is a DDoS?

A DDoS job typically involves defending networks and systems against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. Professionals in this role analyze traffic, implement mitigation strategies, and use tools like firewalls and intrusion detection systems to protect against malicious traffic spikes. They may work in cybersecurity teams or with specialized DDoS protection services. Strong networking knowledge and experience with security protocols are often required for this role.

What are common challenges faced by professionals working in DDoS mitigation roles?

Professionals working in DDoS mitigation roles often face challenges such as quickly identifying attack patterns, distinguishing between legitimate traffic spikes and malicious activity, and coordinating rapid response across multiple teams. The work environment is typically fast-paced and may require participation in on-call rotations to address threats at any time. Collaboration with network engineers, security analysts, and external vendors is crucial to ensure a comprehensive defense strategy and minimize service disruptions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a DDoS mitigation specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a DDoS Mitigation Specialist, you need a solid background in network security, incident response, and in-depth knowledge of internet protocols, typically supported by a degree in computer science or cybersecurity. Familiarity with DDoS mitigation tools (such as Cloudflare, Arbor Networks, or Akamai), intrusion detection systems, and relevant certifications like CEH or CISSP is essential. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for quickly diagnosing attacks and coordinating with teams. These skills and qualifications are vital for minimizing service disruptions, protecting organizational assets, and ensuring business continuity during cyberattacks.

What is the difference between Ddos vs Network Security Analyst?

AspectDdosNetwork Security Analyst
Primary RoleMitigating and defending against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacksMonitoring, analyzing, and securing network infrastructure against various threats
Required SkillsNetwork protocols, attack mitigation, security toolsNetwork analysis, security protocols, incident response
CertificationsCompTIA Security+, CEH, CISSP (preferred)CompTIA Security+, CISSP, Cisco CCNA Security
Work EnvironmentSecurity operations centers, network teamsIT departments, security teams, network operations

While both Ddos specialists and Network Security Analysts work within cybersecurity, Ddos focuses specifically on defending against DDoS attacks, whereas Network Security Analysts handle broader network security threats and monitoring. Both roles often collaborate to ensure comprehensive network protection.

Job description

About IPinfo
IPinfo provides IP geolocation and network data trusted by developers and enterprises worldwide, powering everything from fraud prevention to content personalization. We run infrastructure that serves massive query volumes with strict latency and uptime requirements, reliability isn't a nice-to-have here, it's the product.
About The Role
We're looking for a *hands-on Infrastructure Manager* to lead our infra team. This isn't a purely strategic or people-management role, we need someone who still enjoys being in the weeds: debugging a noisy alert at 2 AM, reviewing a Terraform PR, or getting on a call mid-incident to help mitigate a DDoS attack in real time.
You'll own the reliability, scalability, and security of infrastructure that handles high-volume, latency-sensitive traffic at global scale, while growing and mentoring a small team of engineers.
What You'll Do
- Lead and mentor the infrastructure team while remaining directly involved in architecture, coding, and operations
- Own the design and evolution of infrastructure serving high-throughput, low-latency workloads at scale
- Lead DDoS mitigation strategy and incident response from architecture-level protections to live handling of active attacks
- Drive capacity planning, cost optimization, and performance tuning across the stack
- Improve observability, alerting, and on-call practices to reduce time-to-detect and time-to-resolve
- Own infrastructure security posture in collaboration with the security function
- Balance team growth and process maturity with the need to keep shipping and firefighting when it matters
- Participate in on-call rotation
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years in infrastructure/SRE/platform engineering roles, including significant hands-on scaling experience
- 5+ years of experience managing or leading an infrastructure/SRE team, while staying technically hands-on
- Proven experience defending large-scale services against DDoS attacks (mitigation strategies, tooling, live incident response not just theoretical knowledge)
- Deep experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), networking fundamentals (BGP, DNS, CDN, load balancing), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)
- Strong Linux systems knowledge and experience operating distributed, high-availability systems at scale
- Track record of leading incident response for critical, customer-facing infrastructure
- Comfortable balancing technical depth with people leadership as this role is genuinely both
- Excellent communication skills; able to explain technical trade-offs to both engineers and leadership
Nice to Have
- Experience with high-volume API infrastructure or data-heavy platforms
- Familiarity with Anycast networking and edge/CDN architectures
- Background in a company that has weathered significant/sustained DDoS campaigns
- Contributions to open-source infra tooling
