T.C. Presidency of Cybersecurity launched the recruitment of contracted expert personnel in Ankara and Istanbul to strengthen national cybersecurity capacity and digital sovereignty. The recruitments to be carried out at the central organization and the Istanbul Provincial Representative Office will cover 47 different fields, including Digital Forensics, Cyber Threat Intelligence, Malware Analysis, Software Development, Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence. Candidates will be assigned to Senior Expert, Expert and Analyst positions.
Applications began on August 21, 2026, and can be submitted through kariyer.siberguvenlik.gov.tr until September 11, 2026. Candidates may apply for only one position. Of the candidates to be determined according to their undergraduate/associate degree grade point averages and university placement rankings, 4 times the quota for each position will be invited to the examination. Candidates will need to score at least 70 points to pass the written, oral and/or practical examinations to be held in Ankara.
Why it matters
The recruitment’s coverage of 47 different areas of expertise shows that the assessment will involve not only technical development in the field of cybersecurity, but also a range of competencies extending from digital forensics to threat intelligence and data analytics. The inclusion of Senior Expert, Expert and Analyst levels together requires candidates to select a single position suited to their experience and expertise. Narrowing down applications based on academic achievement and university placement rankings shows that the first stage for candidates who will proceed to the examination is not limited to professional competence alone. However, the text does not include information on the distribution of quotas for each field or on which positions will require candidates to take written, oral or practical examinations; these are open points that could affect the application decision.
