Job description

Join Hostinger, and we’ll grow fast! 🚀

We’re shaping the future of online success - powered by AI and driven by people. With 900+ talented professionals and over 4 million clients in 150 countries, we help creators and entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life faster and easier than ever before.

Our mission: To provide tools that help individuals and small businesses succeed online faster and easier.

Our culture: Guided by 10 company principles.

Our formula for success: Customer obsession, innovative products, and talented teams.

Your role at Hostinger

We’re looking for a System Engineer to help us solve real engineering challenges, keep our systems reliable, and build the foundation that powers millions of websites around the world.

You’ll work alongside other system, software, and network engineers - people who care deeply about performance, simplicity, and resilience. Together, you’ll design, run, and evolve systems that don’t just work, but stay fast and dependable under pressure.

This isn’t a role where you follow playbooks - you’ll write them. You’ll dig into the details, automate what slows us down, and share what you learn so the whole team gets stronger.

Curious to learn more? Connect with your team: Eimantas Šerpenskas, Head of Web Hosting Infrastructure.

Your day-to-day

• Design, develop, and implement new features that make our hosting platform faster, more reliable, and easier to scale
• Deploy and run infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code and automation, because manual work doesn’t scale, and neither do shortcuts
• Operate and observe systems through real metrics: availability, latency, performance, capacity, reliability - understanding the “why” behind every graph
• Refine and tune systems to eliminate bottlenecks, simplify complexity, and improve reliability without adding overhead
• Improve monitoring and alerting, aiming to catch symptoms before they turn into outages
• Share knowledge with other engineers - guiding, reviewing, and helping raise the bar for how we build and maintain reliable systems

Your Skills And Experience

• Strong Linux OS experience (3+ years)
• Ansible proficiency - you trust automation, and know how to do it right
• Programming or scripting skills in Python or Go (bonus if both)
• Experience managing and optimizing web servers, databases, and caching systems
• Familiarity with cloud environments like GCP (or similar)
• Solid grasp of networking fundamentals - DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP
• Experience applying Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles and tools

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with DevOps practices and open-source contributions
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and tools beyond GitHub Actions
• Ability to read and understand Go and PHP code
• Certifications like RHCSA or RHCE

Benefits For You

• 🚀 360 Growth: We provide limitless learning opportunities: access to platforms like Reforge and Couch Hub, global conferences, feedback culture, digital libraries, and industry‑leading subscriptions. Advance your career with internal mobility, and grow with a team eager to share knowledge and support your success
• 🎯 Freedom & responsibility: Work on your terms, whether from the comfort of home or anywhere in the world. With a home office budget, you can elevate your workspace. Enjoy the flexibility to manage your schedule while bringing your ideas to life in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment
• 💪 Wellness simplified: Your health comes first with company‑provided sick days, 20 paid suspension days, Headspace subscriptions, and recharge leave. Participate in wellbeing‑dedicated events and simply enjoy the balance of a lifestyle that prioritizes wellness
• 🎉 Work hard - party hard: Celebrate your achievements with company events like Town Hall, Meet the Client initiatives, team‑building experiences, and workations. Celebrate life’s big moments with milestone gifts for weddings, new parenthood, and graduations

Compensation

• Gross salary starting from 5000 EUR (depends on your experience and competencies)
